Have to say, as bad as many of the scripts are this season, I was very pleasantly surprised to find three GREAT eps that are among the best of the whole series and as good as anything on I Love Lucy: "Lucy Discovers Wayne Newton," "Lucy Dates Dean Martin" and "Lucy, the Gun Moll." All beautifully written and played. Had seen them all before, but it's been years and wasn't sure if they'd hold up to my memories of them. Thrilled to find they exceeded them. While not quite on the same level, also loved "Lucy in the Music Business" and "Lucy and the Countess Have a Horse Guest." Still humming the theme from "Wingding." LOL. Almost makes up for the hideousness of "Lucy Helps Danny Thomas" and "Lucy the Superwoman," which of course, started life as a script for Gilligan's Island and should have remained so. Whether or not one even accepts the absurdity that a stuck adrenal gland wouldn't kill the sufferer with a heart attack and/or stroke, there is ZERO plot to the ep. Just a parade of (very lame) special effects and no story. Sigh. Of course, in my opinion, the most absurd script Lucy ever did (and even worse than anything on Here's Lucy) is still to come: "Lucy and Jack Benny's Account." Oh, the horror.
