The fact that 2 terrific legendary 50's shows & characters (Superman & Lucy) were able to merge onto one show for a classic episode is a credit to the creative minds behind these 2 shows. I think Lucy & George Reeves -- former movie stars -- may have known each other in the past & they both may have nudged those writers & producers to insure this happened for the kids. Little Ricky is my age & I know he must have been a big fan of Superman in real life & Lucy & Desi worked their magic.
One of my favorites was when Lucy was arrested for passing counterfeit bills in Paris...and the cops had to form a line to communicate with her. One cop spoke French. One spoke French and German. A wino in a cell spoke German and Spanish. Ricky spoke Spanish and English....down to Lucy.
You have to remember...how Lucy was portrayed in that show was completely opposite in real life. Lucy made almost all the decisions in their marriage.
@brianwells456comcast can you give out both full names as of who you are talking about.. thanks you.. just made me curious.. what are their first names, thanks.
She's out on the ledge. . . OUT ON THE LEDGE! lmfao, the reaction time it took for that gag was absolutely perfect and there's no words need said for comedic timing.
@LittleDragon2000 I don't think it was the best.My favorite Lucy is her putty nose with William Holden.There were many good ones.Desi and Lucy-great team.
Probably my all time favorite Lucy episode. But they cut out the part where the woman is seeing the apartment next door and is all hysterical when Lucy as Superman shows up at the window and her husband says
"Was it a bird?"
"NO!"
"Was it a plane?" "NO!" "What was it?" "It was Superman!"
He had to time that leap into the living room perfectly so he wouldn't kick the children!

It was just a shame that George Reeves ended up taking his own life.
