Vitameatavegimen - Spoon Your Way to Health!

Another of the most famous Lucy episodes. My opinion is that Lucille Ball's performance of the TV commercial is the best work in the entire series. She starts out enthusiastic, then due to the liquor content of the product, she starts to get drunk. It is a wonderful, delightful and believable performance!!

One of the great moments is when she first tastes Vitameatavegimen. It is awful-tasting and Lucy shows it! Another funny bit is near the beginning of the episode, in which Lucy is inside the Ricardo TV acting out a TV commercial.

I thought the last few minutes of the show really peters out, but despite the weak ending, it doesn't dampen the hilarity preceding it. Great show!!!!!
