Saw this on DataLounge, and it made me chuckle. We were a little more accepting of TV logic back then, weren't we?
"The Weirdness of I LOVE LUCY
I've been putting on episodes at night when I lay down. This is a very weird show. If these were real people, they'd get handicapped parking.
Anyway, one funny thing I've noticed is that sometimes Lucy can actually hide from Ricky in PLAIN SIGHT! All she has to do is put on a hat. Or speak with an accent. In one episode all she had to do was roll up her pants and sleeves.
And Ricky will look right at her and not know its her!!! Yeah, eventually he gets a clue, but stil ... Plus the fact that Lucy believes/knows this will work.
It's so weird.
Any other weirdness? Like the fact that Lucy go out and buy a goat and bring it back to the apartment just for decoration, or that weirdly huge book called How To Keep Your Honeymoon From Ending that was very specific and despite being enormous quickly answered its title in a matter of sentences."
