Notes: This is the largest part Vanda Barra will have on a Lucy episode, and it showcases her to great advantage. Under different circumstances, she might have been a good replacement for Vivian Vance.

Notes: It was about this time Lucille began relying totally on cue cards. In the beginning of Here's Lucy, she not only knew her lines but everyone else's. She wanted to observe what was going on without a script in her hand. The more she used the cue cards, the less she was in the reality of the scene.
