Lucy Ricardo - a "Paris Original"?
Episode 147, "Lucy Gets a Paris Gown", originally aired on March 19, 1956. The Ricardos and the Mertzes are thrilled to be in Paris. As a special treat for Lucy and Ethel, Ricky snags coveted tickets for a Jacques Marcel fashion show. Of course, after seeing the designer’s clothes, Lucy vows that she will have a Jacques Marcel dress. When pleading fails, Lucy goes on a hunger strike. Ricky breaks down and buys the dress, but then discovers that Ethel is sneaking food to Lucy. As revenge, Ricky and Fred design burlap potato sack dresses, complete with Jacques Marcel labels and a horse’s feedbag hat for Lucy. The French designer sees Lucy and Ethel wearing the dresses at a café and Ricky confesses. In a hilarious final twist, Jacques Marcel steals the designs -- but the girls have destroyed their originals!

what's funny is that just about ANYTHING will become popular, IF a celebrity will wear it!

Isn't it great that we can recall a TV moment so vividly after 51 years? I wonder how many of today's TV shows will have a following half a century from now? Not many, I'm guessing.

There isn't anything on tv now that will be worth remembering, unfortunately. I find myself watching the old reruns of all the good shows, like Frazier, Golden Girls, etc. Imagine having 2,000 channels available and nothing to watch LOL!

I suspect a few modern sitcoms (Frazier, Everybody Loves Raymond, and Seinfeld come to mind) will be seen in reruns for the next 20 years. But in 2057 people will still be watching I Love Lucy.
I've got to get to the Lucille Ball Museum in Jamestown, New York. I hear it's worth a visit.
