Featured review
I dearly love this series but this episode was the end for me...
There is so much to say, but I will keep it simple. Lucy was great in most of the episodes to this specific episode, with the exception of some random very dumb episodes like the episode when they went to Scotland. After this episode however, the show in my opinion went completely downhill. It was no longer funny. Lucille Ball continued to repeat the same silly gags and over-acting she had always done (like putting her hand in her mouth when she was embarrassed, that terribly cry she did), but it simply just didn't work as she got older. Lucy unfortunately did not age well and her acting just got to be atrocious. This is my opinion, but the episodes beyond this point were embarrassing to watch. Many might disagree with me, but I think it is simply because they adore and are devoted to the series in general. To think she was only 46 years old in this episode is almost staggering. She in my opinion appeared to be more like 65 and at this point in her career I found her acting to be over-the-top and annoying. I think the smoking really caught up with her health and aged her dramatically.
Please don't misunderstand my words, I really love this show and can watch the earlier episodes over and over again. It is what I call comfort shows...sort of like comfort food. But I just think the body of work beyond this episode was so poorly done. If we are basing the show solely on the episodes after this particular show, I don't think this beloved series would remotely be a hit.
