Talk:I Love Lucy/2006

"Lost" Christmas show
Can somebody explain what is that about a "lost" Christmas Show? It is not clear in the main article. Fredyrod sept 16, 2006. — 201.227.50.22 00:55, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

In one or two episodes there was a Christmas tag scene, but after it became only reruns I'm pretty sure it was never seen again except on the DVD boxed sets.

Misquotation
What is the source for the famous "Lucy! You got some 'splainin' to do." quote being fake?-Remy Green
 * A better question would be, what is the source for it being true? Can anyone name an episode where the line is used, and quote it in context? — Walloon 20:52, 4 July 2006 (UTC)


 * We're not making the statement that the quote is true in the article, we're saying it's false. We need proof for what we say, not for what we don't say. I think it should be taken down.- Remy Green, July 4th 2006
 * We're entering a house of mirrors here. What is "the quote" that you say is false? Ricky saying "Lucy! You got some 'splainin' to do," or the article's claim that he never said it? — Walloon 01:59, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
 * I didn't say a quote is false. I said that if we're going to make a claim either way, we need proof (especially if we're going against the prevailing opinion). The statement that it's a misquotation should taken down.Jeremy Green 19:17, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

I do remember the quote "Lucy, you have some 'splaining to do" being mentioned in an episode, can't remember the episode though. Although I can see why people would think it isn't true be cause it is more commonly said differently, such as "come on baby let me 'splain!" or "if you don't start 'splainin right now..."

Cousin Ernie
I would put "the" outside the quotation marks of The "Cousin Ernie" story arc. — Walloon 20:34, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

The F-Bomb
The f word is a pretty offensive word to a lot of people. I know this is a pretty touchy subject on Wikipedia. Its not very classy, degrades the quality of the encyclopedia. I think it should be removed or at least replaced with f***. Epachamo 04:11, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

I completely agree, there are many child users on Wikipedia and also just people the find the word offensive. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.196.199.21 (talk • contribs)

List of notable episodes
Hope no one minds, but I added "LA At Last" to the list of notable episodes, as that one contained the scene where Lucy sets her nose on fire. I know that there are a lot of memorable episodes, but since the Season 4 DVD Box features her disguise on the cover, I thought it warranted a mention. And I admit, it's one of my personal favorites as well. MccullarsJ 18:15, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

Running Time?
Does anyone know if the running time of I Love Lucy was really originally 30 minutes? I had thought it was 26. 128.138.122.225 01:30, 30 July 2006 (UTC)AP
 * The figure of 30 minutes is including commercials. The actual length of the show's content is difficult to gauge with a lot of older shows because there were less commercials (they were "simpler times" when we didn't have entire channels devoted to fashion and golf and reality television didn't even exist!) so most showings are edited for time, but 26min sounds about right for the original footage.

I have the dvd boxed set and it doesn't show commercials (duh) and the running time for each episode I've watched is 26min & about 30 sec.

Desi Arnaz's Emmy nod
Or lack thereof. What a goddam shame. I was utterly shocked as a life-long fan of the show to discover that today. He never got one! Emmys therefore measure nothing, but you already knew that. -Bordello 04:41, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
