(38,359 posts)Luckovich has taken a famous 5 minute scene from a 1951 Lucy show, and updated it. Terrific.

(13,877 posts)every time I see a clip in B/W I watch it. I hate it when they redo them in color...ruins them. John Wayne will always be in B/W for me. So will The Rifleman !!! And I Love Lucy. We really, really did love Lucy and Ricky and Ethel.
