Lucy goes on a camping trip with Ricky, thinking at first she is going to spend a glorious weekend with her husband, until she finds out from Ethel that Ricky has a scheme and she is going to beat him at his own game! Not unusual for Lucy. Ricky is getting tired of having her hang around him like gum on your shoe and doesn't want her to go on the camping trip with Fred and him this summer. He roughs it up for her, but she beats him back. Of course, Ethel, as usual, is dragged in on Lucy's little scheme to get Ricky back. Watch it, it is great! Then, on Pioneer Women, Lucy and Ethel rough it out like in the 1900's along with Ricky and Fred, only to win a bet to see who can last longer without the convienience of modern appliances. Lucy bakes bread, Ethel churns butter, and the whole thing, naturally, is a big mess! Don't miss this one, either!

I have loved lucy since i was little. I have taught kindergarten for the last 15 years and have used Pioneer Women in class when we study bread. Many of my kids are 2nd language and have not seen this before. They love it. Unfortunatly the tape broke. Am looking for a replacement or someone who can help me find a replacement. Contact me. thanks

I'm Hoping to Get This Tape for My 11th Birthday. My Favorite Episode is "Pioneer Women" Because of the Bread Scene. Lucy Has Put Two Packages of Yeast In the Dough, The Bread Comes Out So Long That Lucy Was Pinned to the Far End of the Kitchen. Great Stuff. A Classic.

In this decade, every episode of "I Love Lucy" will be celebrating its 50th Anniversary. Every episode is still funny as funny as when they first aired. The shows are good. The shows are wholesome. They are healing and warm and will make you feel good. Buy them on VHS or DVD today.

After reviewing "Pioneer Women" I realised that I had forgotten about doing the same for the very funny THE CAMPING TRIP episode! While playing bridge, Lucy and her girlfriends ponder whose fault it was for the separation of a young married couple - (Ethel says matter - of - factly: "Listen, it's everybody and nobody's fault; it happens in every marriage - there's nothing you can do about it!") This remark horrifies Lucy into clinging and wanting to share everything and moment with Ricky (which drives him to distraction.) He thinks taking Lucy on a trial camping trip will cure her latest whim. The scene where Lucy shoots a duck which falls from the sky cleaned and plucked followed by Ricky's remarks is truly hilarious and the studio audience goes WILD. Very funny entry.

This episode is remembered for the huge loaf of bread which pins lucy to the sink as it came out of the oven (supposedly this was due to an overabundunce of yeast; she put in 13 cakes instead of 3!) The scene where Lucy tells the ladies that she has no intention of join their "phoney baloney club" is very realistic; you cheer for her as do Ethel and the boys. Ruth Perrot, who played with Lucy on her radio show "My Favorite Husband" is the meeker woman (watch closely; she begins her line too early, but covered up - "Quaint to say the least" in reference to the old-fashioned appearance of the kitchen. The society matron was the great character actress Florence Bates who died shortly after this appearance.A very funny episode of this classic show.

For a good Lucy pick this on
