The Lucy Show

TV repairman Herb charges $8 for house calls, and $40 to install a TV antenna.

When the TV breaks, Lucy suggests they sing songs around the piano. The kids don't know their parents' selections: "There's a Long, Long Trail", "Down by the Old Mill Stream", and "Wait Til the Sun Shines, Nellie." The kids want to sing "Ahab the Arab" (by Ray Stevens) and "Papa-Oom-Mow-Mow" (a hit for The Rivingtons).

Vivian plays piano, just as Ethel did on I Love Lucy.

Lucy pulls out a violin, saying she used to play it in school.

Lucy was tops in her class when she went to secretarial school 15 years earlier; there were only two in the class.

Mr. Barnsdahl reads from Lucy's late husband's will which directs him not to give her small loans even though she will #1-wheedle, #2-lose her temper, and #3-cry.

Viv's ex-husband is named Ralph.

Lucy has overdrawn her checking account by $2.15.

In the pillow fight scene at the end, the child played by Desi Arnaz, Jr. gets to hit Lucy with a pillow.

Lucie Arnaz and Desi Arnaz Jr make uncredited guest appearances in this episode. Desi plays #63 on the same team as Jerry & Sherman. Lucie sits between Viv and Chris and is seen sucking on a lollipop.

Lucy wants to watch the old Greta Garbo movie Camille on TV.
