I Love Lucy S01 E26 – The Marriage License
(Or: Lucy Kisses Dating Goodbye)
**More WTFacts are at this week’s Episode Watch Party.**
We open on Lucy cleaning out the desk, and underneath the receipts for freestanding bathtubs, bellydancing costumes, and other super useless items she’s bought this month, she finds her and Ricky’s marriage license.
Lucy (reading): On this day, Lucille Esmeralda McGillicuddy was married to Ricky… Bicardi?
And in zero to sixty, Lucy enters full freakout.
You know, she’s really doing this wrong. She might be the heiress to the Bacardi fortune. That’s a LOT of money. My rum and cokes alone would cover the freestanding bathtub and then some.

I Love Lucy S01 E25 – Pioneer Women
(Or Lucy Becomes a Barista)
**More WTFacts are at this week’s Episode Watch Party.**
We open on Lucy doing the dishes and singing. Life is great! After all, Lucy and Ethel may have a chance to join the Society Matron’s League!
This is a “cream of society” group that gets together to discuss, I presume, how the younger generation makes their tea sandwiches incorrectly and how “urban” the Upper West Side has been getting lately.
Lucy’s concerned about shaking their hands, not because these women sound like constipated troll-beasts, but because of all the dishwashing Lucy’s endured over the years. She does the math:

WTF Trailer?
A friend sent me this I Love Lucy trailer photo, as seen in Tribeca.
Here’s WTF this is about: on film sets, the crew bathrooms will sometimes be named Lucy and Desi, for the women and men respectively. This is especially common in urban areas like NYC, where they want to make sure they keep out the common filth like you and me.
That’s probably a good idea. I can tell you from experience, I’d have used those things like a paper towel in a spill factory if I’d know about them when I lived in the Village.
We’ll actually be getting into toilet-related info quite a bit on Friday. I look forward to plunging into that with you.
I Love Lucy S01 E24 – The Gossip
(Or: Nancy the Harpist: the heartbreak episode)
**More WTFacts are at this week’s Episode Watch Party.**
We open on Lucy talking with Marge via telephone. They’re gossiping like 12-year-old cheerleaders about the fat kid in school. Poor Betty. We’ll get back to her.
Ricky wants Lucy to get off the phone, probably because with all this gossip she’s eventually going to hear about him and Fred going in together on a paid Ashley Madison account. But Lucy keeps talking:
Lucy: She didn’t! She didn’t! She didn’t! She couldn’t!
Ricky: Maybe that’s why she didn’t.
When Lucy finally hangs up, she worries what Marge is saying about her. Ricky’s like “I literally slap you around the damn house, and even I know this isn’t healthy.”
The Writer Wanted to Go to a Nightclub
Forgive the hiatus, Ballers.
It was my anniversary last week; like always, that meant my husband wanted to go to the fights and I wanted to go to a nightclub.
We got in a huge argument, and I ended up calling our sluttiest friend to set me up on a date, and then he called his sluttiest friend, who turned out to be the same person!!!
And then I dressed up like a mountain wench and we made out. So it turned out pretty well in the end.
Gosh, our story sounds a lot like Episode One.
I’ll see you Friday for “The Gossip.” (Get all the WTFacts in advance here.)

I Love Lucy S01 E23 – The Moustache
(Or: The Cast Puts the Bic in Transphobic)
**More WTFacts are at this week’s Episode Watch Party.**
We open on –
Sorry but no. I can’t start there. What’s with the title? I’m so sick and tired of this highfalutin, frenchified, European english.
This is ‘murca, and it’s mustache here, not “moustache.” Even my text editor just spell-corrected that commie version with the “ou.”
You want to spell things like some socialist micro-car-driving wine snob? Move to Sweden and buy an Ikea.
But when you write for television, which was founded here in the home of the free, you cut out the “o” along with humility, affordable health care, and gun control.
USA! USA! USA!
