We watched the Lucy Show as kids and loved it, having never seen I Love Lucy at that time. Now, over forty years later, I'm watching many of these episodes my siblings and I sat gathered around the TV, glaring in amusement at her antics.
By far, the shower episode was our favorite. I've since told my mother she should be glad we had no glass door shower like that, as we'd definitely have tried to do that.
I just watched the contact lens episode, essentially as the other review says, a knock-off of the I Love Lucy BBQ episode, the assumptions as to what must have happened play out even more far-fetched than it does here.
It was feasible in ILL for Lucy to deduce the ring must have fallen into the cement (maybe a bit extreme), but it was a tad more incredulous for Ricky to figure out it fell from his shirt.
This time, Lucy leaps to the conclusion her contact lens fell out into the icing on the cake. It could just as easily have been anywhere on the kitchen floor.
Secondly, fear of Mr. Mooney knowing she lost the expensive lens is rather moot when she purchases fifteen chocolate cakes.
The purpose of destroying the cakes is rather dismissive when she learns where her cake really is.
Nevertheless, I remember the amusement at her destroying the cake, but her reason for doing so, as she gives here, is bogus and accepted, whereas on ILL it was hysterical when she told the truth and left Ricky completely bewildered at how she'd think.
I recorded it this time when it aired. I intend on watching it again.
