Blake Hawkins at CBR.com came up with what he calls I Love Lucy<\/em>: 7 Shocking Facts About the Classic Sitcom<\/a>.\u00a0 While I wouldn’t call them shocking, Hawkins did come up with interesting trivia for one of America’s most beloved and groundbreaking sitcoms.\u00a0 Before you click over, here are my favorites from Hawkins’ list and some additional thoughts…<\/p>\n

I Love Lucy<\/em> Made Reruns Possible.<\/strong>\u00a0 (This fact alone should make I Love Lucy famous.\u00a0 Despite the additional cost using 35mm film allowed the episodes to be replayed making re-runs possible! – Craig)<\/p>\n

Fred And Ethel Couldn\u2019t Stand Each Other Offscreen.<\/strong>\u00a0 (I learned this years ago and was shocked.\u00a0 You’d never know this from just watching the show.\u00a0 I guess that’s why they call it acting. – Craig)<\/p>\n

William Frawley Skipped Two Episodes For His Yankees.<\/strong>\u00a0 (This is new to me.\u00a0 It’s funny sometimes the things actors put into their contracts.\u00a0 It payed off for Frawley though. – Craig)<\/p>\n

Desi-Lu Productions (Lucy and Desi’s company) were responsible for I Love Lucy, The Lucy Show, The Untouchables, Mission: Impossible and Star Trek<\/em>!<\/p>\n

My favorite I Love Lucy<\/em> episode involves Lucy getting stuck on an upper story ledge in the rain dressed as tv’s Superman for Little Ricky’s birthday.\u00a0 George Reeves guest stars.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
