4.0 out of 5 stars Lucy goes to great comics heights on "I Love Lucy", June 2, 2001

This review is from: I Love Lucy 12 [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Two episodes from the classic situation comedy in which Lucy ends up on the outside part of a building, are offered up in Volume 12 of the "I Love Lucy" collection. In "Lucy is Envious" (March 29, 1954), wealthy old school chum Cynthia Harcourt (Mary Jane Croft) shows up to raise money for charity. Lucy pledges "five" to the cause, only to discover this means $500 not $5. To save face and earn the money, Lucy answers a newspaper ad for girls who are brave and has to climb to the top of the Empire State Building. This episode was the first time Croft, who went on to be a regular on not only "I Love Lucy" but "The Lucy Show" and "Here's Lucy" as well, worked with Lucille Ball. "Lucy Cries Wolf" (October 18, 1954) was the 100th episode of "I Love Lucy." After reading a newspaper story about a woman whose husband refused to rescue her during a robbery, Lucy decides to test Ricky. She calls him up, screams a couple of times and then goes out on the building ledge to see what Ricky will do. Neither of these episodes are classics, but average Lucy is still pretty good.

5.0 out of 5 stars America's Favorite Redhead, July 24, 2000

This review is from: I Love Lucy 12 [VHS] (VHS Tape)

(And America's Favorite Cuban, of course) This video is another one of the episodes of the ever popular I Love Lucy show. Whatever episode it is, everyone is sure to laugh, just like in this one, Lucy Cries Wolf (and I think by looking at the cover has the one where Lucy and Ethel pretend to be alien women from mars to get money.) Everyone i guarantee will watch this, and every other I Love Lucy and/or Lucy-Desi Comedy hour episode over and over again.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lucy: Very Funny Episodes, August 15, 2002

By 

Milan Brandon (San Marcos, Ca USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: I Love Lucy 12 [VHS] (VHS Tape)

These episodes are sooooo funny. You will fully enjoy these.

The first Lucy is really funny. In "Lucy is Envious," Lucy's wealthy school mate, Cynthia Hardcourt, is working in town. Lucy lies about that she gives a lot to charity and gets herself in a jam. She has to get 500 dollars! She is paid to work as martians from outer space. They get get 500 dollars, but Ricky and Fred pose as martians as well to scare Lucy and Ethel. The second episode, "Lucy Tells the Truth," is when Ricky makes a bet that Lucy cannot tell the absolute truth for 24 hours. Lucy is forced to not fib and makes it, barely, after Ricky gives in.

Get these episodes. They are worthy of five stars.
