I need to apologize to the person who left a great positive comment for this video only to have it removed. I carelessly clicked "remove" instead of "reply" on their comment. Anyone know if it's possible to get that comment back?

[daretodream1988]

why was she smacking lucy on the head?

[alizaren]

B/c Lucy bundled again by convincing Ethel to dress like a slob...not realizing that a photographer was taking their photo for a magazine.

[daretodream1988]

[alizaren]

"Changing the Boys' Wardrobe" from Season 3. Thanks for watching!

Absolutely LOVED IT! You really couldn't have choosen better clips of Vivian. I really like the one when she comes down the stairs with her boa and does the whole gum chewing bit. Without Vivian, Lucy would have been a totally different person all together both in the shows and in actual life.

[SEFYH]

I do agree! Thanks for giving Vivian her PROPS!!

Vivian Vance was cheated in the "I Love Lucy" series! She was just as funny, if not more funny, that Lucille, but her contract called for her downplay her comedic side in favor of Lucy getting more laughs. She also had to keep her weight artificially up so as to appear older than Lucy when in fact, she was younger! William Frawley was another story, Vivian hated working with him!

[LadyEthelMertz]

I loveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Viv

She is so cute and funny.

She deserves way more credit .

Ethel Mertz is really important to this show

And to me also. ♥

Frankly I think Richard Christy does a better Ethel Mertz than Vivian Vance, but she was pretty good too.

love 1:17

@yoshinetzero I was wondering that too

[zczaldy]

What a team the four of them made. Classics!

[Beautifulmusiclistnr]

Very nice. It's just a reminder that we all love Lucy and Vivian too! Vivian had some great lines, and one of my favorites was when they were in Florida, and Lucy and Ethel were trying to catch a bigger fish than the boys. So, they bought this large sword fish, and Lucy was trying to put it somewhere, and Ethel said something like "You're not going to be able to hide Tilly the tuna" lol Very nice video!

[vonlossberg]

Oh wow..this is so great. Fun to see her glamour shots too. Thank you!! Love Ethel! Watching her and Lucy right now!

[mandycat45]

Vivian was a comic master and the series would never have been the same without her. I believe I've read elsewhere that while she was happy about her years with Lucille Ball (a lifetime friend) she was somewhat resentful that her parts required her to be older and frumpier than she actually was. If you look closely you can see a very attractive lady hidden underneath those 1950's clothes.
