I adore this episode from season 4 when Lucy invites Ethel and new neighbor Betty Ramsay over for lunch so they can get acquainted. Ethel utters the DL favorite quip “I have sufficient”. Love this scene!!
Mary Jane Croft was brilliant at being a snob.

Oh, goody. I look forward to the fresh insights into this episode that perhaps were not covered in the 987,456,293,109,273,451 thread on this exact same topic!

This is a very funny scene, made better by the actresses' excellent comic chops.

I love Lucy's startled "WHAT!?" when Betty finally decides to include her in their conversation even if it is only to ask for more coffee.

I love it when Ethel Mae Potter returns to her hometown of Albuquerque and does a show. She sings my all-time favorite song “Shortnin’ Bread”.

I think it's from the "Breaking the Lease" episode-
"Honestly, Ethel's given more performances of that speech than South Pacific."
Hilarious.

Because of Pluto TV, we can see I Love Lucy 24 hours a day. The episodes are uncut and the picture quality is the best I've seen of the show.

Too many to list! The whole trip and stay in California for starters. The only episodes I didn’t really care for were the ones with too much of Ricky singing. Desi was talented but just not my thing.

The Scottish musical fantasy and the ones with Cousin Ernie are my least faves but Teensy and Weensy were good.

I loved MJ Croft. Surprisingly, check out sometime the episode “Lucy Is NG As An GN” from her last “Here’s Lucy” series’s Season 6. Ironically that last season, between no longer being to hop around as much as she used to pre-broken leg a few years earlier, and being preoccupied with working on “Mame!”, the last season featured her actually being funnier as just more like real-life saltier “Lucille Ball,” and this ensemble episode from her once-again (part-time now) original writers is pretty funny, including MJ’s turn with 2 broken hands.

For some reason I've always liked the scenes in the Ricardos' kitchen. I love the pattern on their dishes.

'Lucy writes a novel'
She is so brilliant in the last scene.
