Episode #1 - Lucy Waits up for Chris

Season: #1 - 1962-63
Airdate: October 1, 1962
Episode 1 of 158
 

Supporting Cast: Tom Lowell

When Lucy waits up for her daughter Chris to return from a date, the fourteen-year old girl is mightly embarrassed. Lucy promises never to do it again, but can't help herself. To not be discovered, Lucy accidentally locks herself out of the house and has to enter by the only means available; a trampoline.

Special Notes: Lucy never memorized any of her lines on the show, and instead used cue cards. This is normally verboten by any actors, even sitcom or soap opera actors who have to learn their lines quickly. If you look close at The Lucy Show, you can see Lucy looking away from the actors in the scene to the cue cards, right before she says her lines. Reportedly, Lucy had no time to rehearse, because of her board meetings and other commitments as the head of Desilu Studios.
