Talk:I Love Lucy/2007

List of I Love Lucy Actors
I would like to have a more comprehensible list started of actors who appeared on the show. It looks like a "partial" list was started here. Lucy & Desi had a lot of friends in Hollywood who appeared on the show quite a bit over the years. Some were famous, but more importantly (at least to me) is the fact that "character actors" and "bit players" are on so often, I feel like I know them from my living room. I would like to see them get more recognition. Writers were also very important to Lucy & Desi. If one reads or has heard anyone ever ask them about the success of the shows, they always responded by giving credit to the writers: Bob & Madelyn, Jess, and the 2 Bobs. What do you think? --Davidw0998 12:34, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

I know a woman whose kid was in a lot of early sitcoms, and she told me that once when there were a lot of kids on the set of I Love Lucy, Lucy showed a strong aversion to them, refering to them with bad names. Anyone else know what Lucy thought about kids? 69.108.67.193 23:15, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

Flubs
I have seen many of the "I Love Lucy" episodes on DVD and on the DVDs there is a list of flubs, or bloopers. I think that putting a list of the flubs in the article would be a wonderful edition to the article, especially because the show was recorded live without retakes. If anyone disagrees or wants to help put up a list, please let me know. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.162.158.127 (talk) 18:35, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

Film vs. video
''The duo along with co-creator Jess Oppenheimer then decided to shoot the show on 35 mm film in front of a live studio audience, with three cameras (this technical innovation is now standard for sitcoms). '' -- Don't they use tape today? RickK 20:37, 19 Jan 2004 (UTC)


 * For soap operas at least, but those aren't sitcoms. Anyway, the medium by which the images are fixed is not as important as the technique (of course the fact that the medium is a much higher quality than kinescope prints is also important). -- mav 05:37, 20 Jan 2004 (UTC)


 * Remember when it was! In '50s, nobody used film; all the old sitcoms went out live. Lucy's idea (or so I heard it) meant syndication--& we still got 'em... Trekphiler 07:01, 23 December 2005 (UTC)


 * The OP asked "Don't they use tape today?" This depends on the show and when it was produced.  Most American network dramas in 2007 (like CSI) are shot on film with a single camera and edited, similar to a feature film, while some network comedies (like Two and a Half Men) are shot on film with multiple cameras in front of a live audience, just like I Love Lucy was.  As Maveric149 said above, daytime dramas or "soap operas" (such as the Young and the Restless) are shot on video tape, as are reality shows (like Survivor), some comedies, most news magazines (like 60 Minutes) and other entertainment programs like The Insider.  Local and national news is broadcast live, with stories played back from video tape or video servers.  In the 70s and 80s, many network sitcoms (like All In The Family) were shot on video tape.

The Ricardos' address
I wonder who really lives at apartment 3D on 623 East 68th Street. CrossEyed7 16:22, 3 July 2006 (UTC)


 * (Grins) I don't believe that address actually exists... at the time of the show anyway, it was a non-existent part of the street.--Dirgni1986 17:24, 3 July 2006 (UTC)


 * 623 E. 68th Street would be in the East River, then and now. The highest addresses on E. 68th St. are in the 500s. — Walloon 20:42, 4 July 2006 (UTC)


 * That is what I've always been told as well.--Dirgni1986 20:45, 4 July 2006 (UTC)


 * You're wrong. Aquaman lives there. ;) Trekphiler 11:54, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

My Favorite Husband
As a lot of the episodes are loosely based on My Favorite Husband, should there at least be a nod to the radio show for spawning I Love Lucy?Eragon fan 20:20, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

See also section
Has there been a "see also" section for this article? I had to really search for List of I Love Lucy episodes and there might be more articles related to this one that would qualify for the See Also section. --64.5.88.54 22:28, 15 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Mak1457's got some 'splainin' to do. This infrequent editor made wholesale deletions, including the Episodes section which I've restored. It had the link you were looking for. (Actually, I agree with most of the deletions.) Clarityfiend 22:58, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
