The Beard

Lucy in a mustache and beard is comedy gold. Her getting back at Ricky doesn't pay off.

A really hairy situation once again.

Warning: Spoilers
Ricky's laughing hysterically once again as Lucy's efforts to manipulate Ricky through a literally hair brained scheme gets really sticky. In fact so sticky that she can't remove it. She's upset that Ricky wants to grow a mustache for a possible movie role and decides to teach him a lesson by gluing on one of Fred's old stage beards. Ricky has a hysterical fright moment when he sees her, but soon gets into the spirit of the joke because the spirit blew Fred gave her was actually old cement glue. Lucy has no other choice but dress is a man so people won't think her weird, but as Ethel says, she looks more like a billy goat. Very funny episode that tries to teach Lucy a lesson but you know it's going to fail.

Lucy is right

Lucy objects to Ricky's new mustache while Fred and Ethel like it. He thinks it will get him a movie role. Ethel related a story to Ethel about her grandmother that makes you think Ethel' family has their own kind of spirited women. It gives Lucy the idea to glue on a false mustache but Fred gives her the entire beard and she wears it! Honestly I think Lucy looks better with it than Ricky .He looks too ordinary with the mustache it just isn't him.

Rick relents and shaves but the beard is own so tight for Lucy Ricky starts to think she did grow it. Fred had given Lucy spirit gum nut it turns out to be cement instead !Ricky laughs hysterically but does inquire about removal from the drug store but they no longer make it! What happens next is is looking for ways to remove it but not much happens .Fred finally finds it and it will arrive from Chicago the next day .Problem though is the talent scout is coming but the third act turns out to be rather weak and it's one of the lesser endings.

Not as funny as expected.

Lucy tired of Ricky's new moustache so she glued one on herself. Funny enough! Except that's kinda the beginning and ending of the humor. Truth is, she doesn't look nearly as ridiculous as it sounds which kills the vibe for the remainder of the show, and even the ending fails flat once it is revealed to a movie scout. Similar themes in later episodes work out much better, which might explain my heavy critique of this one.
