I found this interesting.....rooms on TV sitcom set

[Pappy]

The actual TV set from I Love Lucy series. It's neat the way they can go from one room to another. I recognize them all, except the one on the left. Little Ricky's room maybe.

Oh! This is really interesting. I never gave it much thought of how the sets were built. So condensed and easy to walk from room to room. Thanks for sharing this one. I just loved I Love Lucy.

 

[Ameriscot]

Cool. I loved watching I Love Lucy.

A Visit to Jamestown, NY and the Lucy-Desi Museum

Touring one of two Lucille Ball dressing rooms at the former Desilu-Gower studios; now part of the Paramount lot in Hollywood. (Originally RKO Studios 1928-1957)

I didn't know this until recently that Lucy had a camp at Chenango Lake, a lake right outside of my hometown, Norwich, NY. I googled it and it had a lot of info and this picture of her "camp." Roughing it, right?

Thanks for the picture(s) Pappy. I missed this thread first time through. The first picture looks almost like a model to scale, but you can tell by the room it's in.

At the cabin, in the show?

 

[Phoenix]

Yes, this is interesting. I don't see how actors can effectively pretend they are in real settings. My dad had the hots for Lucille.

At the cabin, in the show?

I remember that. The Ricardos and the Mertzes were traveling through Ohio and stop at a diner and motel run by a man who takes advantage of them. It was a funny episode. A short clip from that one (1955):

I recently read (maybe on Pinterest) that Vivian Vance detested William Frawley. Supposedly, he was a heavy drinker. Not sure why they didn't get along. That was such a memorable era. Lucy was an amazing person, she made a lot of people laugh. It was great family entertainment. That was back in the day when they couldn't show double beds or toilets on TV's. No cursing or sexual innuendos.

Funny!

I don't recognize the set on the right. And isn't it something how back in those days they made a married couple (who were really married, no less) sleep in twin beds?!

Re: the scene in the cabin. Was that the episode where the train ran right by the cabin and the beds moved all over the place? I remember absolutely howling at that scene.
