@HypnoticSubliminals I do, and I think she’s brilliant! And I wish they showed I Love Lucy on T.V. more often. I’m 14 and I’ve even managed to talk my friends into watching some episodes of it and they like it too!
This is such a wonderful episode! It should be shown every Christmas season along with Charlie Brown’s Christmas, White Christmas, etc!
@missfine257 im very very sorry to say that lucy is dead,she died some time in the 80′s and yes she was quite an actress
lucy is an icon i hope she isnt dead i luv lucy and da nanny 4eva
I can’t stand Rona Barrett. She always thought she was it. I met her in person one day outside her mother’s Palm Springs condo and she was so rude, a total bitch. Her mother was so nice. I’m glad she is retired now, good riddance.
wow not so little ricky! I haven’t seen the later shows yet..just on Season 3 and 4 right now.
I’ve only seen it once, and it was kind of a strange episode.
Happily this episode is on the DVD collection. I remember a few years ago they ran a colorized version of this episode.
This is sad, because Lucy has slowly disappeared from the air. Many young kids don’t know who she is.
wanna buy it IN COLOR for $10???
i had never seen this episode, and i had to wipe the tears away before i could type my response to you.
if one was lucky enough to see “i love lucy” when it originally ran, then one understands the emotion they brings out when seeing them again for the first time in years.
they are a direct link to our babyboomer childhood days.
thank you vivian, bill, desi and of course the fabulous lucy for the best memories a person could have.
i wanna watch this episode .
Wow it makes you wonder if there is a real santa!
There was a “compilation” feature of three “LUCY” episodes, with new “linking footage” {a typical couple comes to the Desilu Playhouse to watch the episodes being shot before a live audience} that would have been released in 1953, ‘vivid’ (it was “test marketed” in at least one L.A. movie theater)- but Lucy & Desi signed with MGM to star in “The Long, Long Trailer” instead, and the “LUCY” feature was shelved. It was finally issued on DVD a while ago, and parts of it were on YouTube…
Does anybody remember that was a “I Love Lucy” feature film? According to Bart Andrews in his book “Lucy, Ricky, Fred And Ethel: The Story Of I Love Lucy” director Edward Sedgwick did an original film or had taken several episodes, and filmed bridges to give it continuity. Sadly, he died after supervising the editing of the film. If it does exist, post it!
I remember Rona Barrett when she used to her Hollywood report on the Metromedia news (I used to see her on KNEW Channel 32 in in 1969), though I always thought she was a tad annoying.
This episode is on the six D.V.D. set “I Love Lucy: Season 6″, and I think it’s on Disc 3.
Vernon Dent, he was in many Three Stooges episodes.
i dont get it. how come u guys cried???
Wow, I remember seeing that years ago. Thanks so much for posting this! I admit, I cried.
who cried ? i did
i love lucy
Excellent video….
Who played the FIFTH Santa Claus?
i don’t know if your talking about this but i’ll give it a shot. on the complete series dvd set in one of the bonus features there is an extra scene that aired right after the episode (i think it was “drafted”) aired b/c the day it aired on cbs was december 24, 1951. the scene featured the two couples (minus little ricky) dressed as S.C., dancing around a christmas tree in the ricardos’ apartment and singing when suddenly after they went around the christmas tree the real S.C. appeared.
