Weekend Post

 Hey there Lucy Lovers,

I discovered this cool film on YouTube.  It's a behind-the-scenes look at a filming of I LOVE LUCY.  It's a little staged, but you get to see things you never do.  And Desi Arnaz comes out and does the warm-up and introductions himself.   I hope those filmings were quick because seeing their bleachers for the first time, there are no chair backs.  That's got to be pretty uncomfortable after a few hours.  

 But wait!  There's more.

I posted this once before.  Someone in the audience (I'm sure illegally) took color home movies of the filming of an episode of I LOVE LUCY.  Ever wonder what the apartment set looked like in color?  Check this out.  You'll see that Lucy really was a redhead.

More on I LOVE LUCY on Monday when I discuss ROLLING STONE'S list of the Top 100 Sitcoms of All-time.
