Ranking Lucy

All of Lucille Ball’s series and specials starring her “Lucy” character (excluding guest spots) ranked from best to worst, because this is what I’ve been doing with my life.

I Love Lucy (1951-1957): This one should be pretty self-explanatory.

The Lucy Show (Seasons 1-2) (1962-1964): The first two seasons of her follow up series are actually really funny and the focus on the lives and friendships of middle aged women is rare even today.

The Lucy-Desi Comedy Hour (1957-1960): To say this attempt to reconfigure I Love Lucy into a series of hour long specials didn’t go well would be an understatement. Not only was the Ball/Arnaz marriage falling apart behind the scenes, but the writers clearly had no idea how to stretch their formula to a full hour with tons of filler material, and the Celebrity Guest Stars all feel shoehorned in.

The Lucy Show (Seasons 3-6) (1964-1968): At the end of season 2 Ball had a falling out with her longtime writers Bob Carroll, Jr., Madelyn Davis, Bob Schiller, and Bob Weiskopf which led to them all quitting. While there were plenty of gag writers eager to work for Lucy, none of them ever understood her as well. To make things worse, Vance quit after season 3 to spend time with her husband, the show was retooled and even won some Emmys but there’s no denying the laughs were much less frequent.

Lucy Calls the President (1977): Best remembered as the last time Ball reunited with Vivian Vance, this hour long special from Bob Carroll Jr. and Madelyn Davis isn’t great, but it’s a funny enough farce that brought together the remaining Desilu stock company for one last go around.

Lucy Moves to NBC (1980): A historical curiosity, this time the “Lucy” character is Ball herself (albeit, one who’s never produced before-unlike the real life former Desilu president). The special was made to promote a production deal Ball had signed with the network that ultimately didn’t go anywhere, but one of the pilots she produced, starring Donald “Singin’ in the Rain” O’Connor, makes up the special’s last half hour. The rest of the special is just Ball cracking jokes with 80s NBC stars like Johnny Carson and Gary Coleman while she tries to put together a pilot, with Gale Gordon pulled out of the moth balls to co-star again. It’s a testament to her continued star power that a production deal would be announced with such fanfare, and an ominous sign that it couldn’t produce an actual show.

Here’s Lucy (1968-1974): This is the Lucy equivalent of late period Simpsons episodes, everyone just looks tired, and nobody seems to care about quality as long as they fill 30 minutes. The one episode anyone remembers guest starred Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton, then the two biggest stars in the world at a time when big stars didn’t do television. And yeah, it is the best episode. It was also the last time in her lifetime Ball would be at the center of the American pop culture conversation.

Life with Lucy (1986): Her last series, cancelled after only 8 episodes. This isn’t the worst thing she’s ever done, but damn is it hard to see a reason why this needs to exist, with Ball trying to do the same schtick she did in the 50s even though her body isn’t up to it anymore, and the sitcom had evolved past it in a post Norman Lear/Mary Tyler Moore world. This could’ve been her Golden Girls (then in its second season) but instead she pulled Gale Gordon out of retirement to rehash the same routine they’d done for years, and that had long since gone stale. It’s sad really.

Lucy Gets Lucky (1975): This hour long advertisement for the MGM Grand Hotel in Vegas can be hard to watch, with Ball and guest star Dean Martin obviously reading from cue cards while trying desperately to get some laughs from a stale premise that’s stretched far too thin.

Lucy in London (1966): A 1 hour spinoff from The Lucy Show, Ball apparently hated this special so much she refused to make another, even though she’d already signed a contract for two TV specials. And you can see why, there’s not a laugh in the thing, the guest stars are surprisingly D-list for her, and we haven’t even gotten to the bizarre and awkward mod-inspired music video/fashion montage. Truly a painful watch!

#yes I have been watch Lucy shows since July and it seemed like I had to do something with all the Lucy knowledge I now possess

Jazz music - one of the biggest love in my life. I will never forget this night, not just because of music, but also this night is about the person I falled in love. There are few moments from Walt Weiskopf European Quartet concert.

For more than a decade Walt Weiskopf has been part of the legendary band Steely Dan. Weiskopf took over the seat after Chris Potter, and has thru that position made some name for himself. Weiskopf has realeased more than 10 albums in his own name, featuring jazz icons such as Brad Mehldau, Bill Stewart and John Patitucci. Weiskopf has chosen to work with a European trio that are considered state of the art. Winther, Lang, Mogensen are all three well estimed jazzmusicians, and known as the Best swingin' trio around Europe. They have individually toured and recorded with jazz greats such as Kevin Hays, Kurt Rosenwinkel, Jerry Bergonzi, Bob Berg, Brecker Brothers, Lew Soloff, Tim Hagans, David Liebman.

Golf's Greatest Drivers

One of golf's best-known aphorisms is 'Drive for show, putt for dough' but your chance to make a putt is somewhat reduced if you can't find the fairway, and then the green. At the very highest level the quality of ball-striking is such that tournaments are often won by the guy who has a hot putter that week, but week in and out driving is the bedrock on which a golfer's game is built. Sam Snead went as far as to say that you should only practice driving and putting.

And as with putting, many players can drive the ball well for a limited period but few can maintain consistent excellence over the course of a career that lasts decades. No-one can do it well all the time - even the absolute best have their off days and weeks - but these golfers did it better for longer than anyone else who lived.

20. Harold Hilton

The Englishman with the marvelous middle name of 'Horsfall' never turned pro but won two Opens at the end of the 19th century, four Amateur championships and a US Amateur, in the days when the very best were from the unpaid ranks. His most conspicuous quality was the straightness of his driving.

19. Tom Watson

Has a fast tempo but a great, simple, repetitive technique that gets the job done time and again. The greatest Major ever - 1977s duel in the sun with Nicklaus - was decided on the 72nd hole when he split the fairway to set up his winning birdie. Like many in this list the quality of his ball-striking never left him but the golfing gods decide that very few can have it all for too long, so his putting stroke headed south.

18. James Braid

One of the Great Triumvirate, along with Vardon and Taylor, Braid was the longest driver of the three and found more than his fair share of fairways. Won his five Open Championships in a 10-year stretch and even at age 78 shot a gross 74. Went on to become a notable architect whose courses, not surprisingly, put a premium on good tee shots.

17. Lee Trevino

Like so many other great drivers, his stock-in-trade was a controlled fade that worked with remarkable consistency. But his real genius was that when he needed to draw the ball he could. Very few have ever controlled ball-flight with the unfailing accuracy of SuperMex so it was no surprise that when he joined the US Seniors Tour (as it was then) it became his personal retirement fund.

16. Robert Tyre Jones

Possibly the best there has ever been but the shortness of his career makes a true comparison with modern greats impossible. Thirteen Majors in seven years tells its own story and they were built on a loose, rhythmical, flowing swing that usually sent the ball exactly where it was meant to go.

15. Nick Faldo

Golf's Greatest Living Englishman calculatedly sacrificed some of the length of his youth in order to develop the metronomic swing that gave him six Majors. The benefits were never more clearly demonstrated than at Muirfield in 1992 when, under pressure from John Cook he nailed it on the 72nd hole to set up his championship winning par.

14. Joyce Wethered

Arguably the greatest woman golfer ever to pull on spikes, she was so impressive that even Bob Jones said he had never been so intimidated by anyone's play. Henry Cotton added: 'I do not think a golf ball has ever been hit, except perhaps by Harry Vardon, with such a straight flight by any other person.' She won five English Amateur and four Amateur Championships and retired far too early.

13. Byron Nelson

Also retired when still in his prime - at age 34 (because of haemophilia and a dislike of the Tour pro's life) and, unlike most in this list, eschewed a controlled fade or draw in favour of simply hitting it straight. It was something he did so well that in 1945 he won 18 tournaments, 11 of them on the bounce, for the greatest streak of all time.

12. Ernie Els

The affable South African does everything well but it all starts on the teeing ground and in the modern era he has the winning combination of both length and accuracy. He's such a powerful hitter that he can nudge his Titleist out there over 300 yards without apparent effort, so he invariably retains control.

11. Jim Furyk

US Open winners cannot afford to be wild off the tee and, while not up there with the longest in the game, Furyk's unorthodox style gives him the repeatability for which most golf pros would sell their grandmothers. Now recovered from wrist surgery he perpetually demonstrates that anyone who can hit fairways and greens will be tough to beat.

10. Ben Hogan

Hogan, like many Texans who grow up trying to hit the ball low under the wind, developed a chronic hook that almost put paid to his career but by bloody-minded determination and unceasing practice he made himself into one of the best drivers ever. So much so that the sixth hole at Carnoustie has been re-named 'Hogan's Alley' in honour of the narrow strip of grass between bunkers and OB that he found all four days in 1953 en route to victory and his only claret jug in the only Open in which he competed.

9. Annika Sorenstam

Her iron play, particularly from 100 yards in, is exquisite, she has a fine putting touch and probably the best brain in women's golf but long, straight driving is the platform on which the best golfer in the world's game is based. So relentlessly does she thrash her opponents that an alternative career as a dominatrix beckons when she gives up golf.

8. Harry Vardon

Six Opens, which remains a record, and one US Open are the Majors tally for one of the purest ball-strikers ever to pick up a brassie or spoon. Challenged throughout his career by JH Taylor and James Braid he nevertheless was first among equals, mainly because of his great ability from the tee.

7. Tony Jacklin

Like Hogan, Vardon, Watson and others in this list he continued to be a superlative striker of the ball long after his scoring ability was sabotaged by a dodgy putting stroke. But we shall remember him always for the athleticism and power of his tee shots, summed up by Henry Longhurst with the words 'What a corker!' as Jacklin unleashed a superlative drive on the 18th at Royal Lytham and St Annes in 1969 for his only Open win on this side of the Atlantic.

6. Jack Nicklaus

The greatest ever had a swing characterised as 'rock and block' that consisted of an upright action that, coupled with his strength, gave him the most telling power fade ever seen. He had the capacity to bludgeon a course but preferred to use brains as well as brawn and quietly pick its pockets. Eighteen Majors and 19 runners-up spots suggest that his driving was, err, really quite good.

5. Calvin Peete

Born black and dirt poor, with 18 siblings, Peete didn't even play golf until he was 23 and it was an unlikely sport to choose because he broke his left elbow as a boy and it wasn't set properly, leaving him unable to straighten his arm. Unexpectedly, the injury meant he was phenomenally straight and he topped the US Tour driving accuracy stats for 10 straight years. And as Lee Trevino said: 'He straightens his arm to take the cheque.'

4. Colin Montgomerie

For seven unbelievable years Monty never had to have his golf shoes cleaned because he didn't know where the rough was and simply walked down the middle of the newly-mown grass. He famously never practised - because he never needed to. Stroll on the tee, hit driver to right centre, find the green and hole the putt. Piece of piss to a trained athlete.

3. Sir Henry Cotton

It was said of the three-time Open winner (by US coach Bob Toski) that he was so unyieldingly straight from the tee that it was impossible to determine if his ball was in the left or right side of the fairway. Cotton knew how good he was and didn't shy away from telling others but most of them could see it for themselves whenever he drove the ball.

2. Sam Snead

Quite possibly the most naturally gifted player ever, Snead's swing was so fluid that it was likened to pouring molasses over treacle and the epithet 'Slammin' Sam' always did him a great disservice because he was a pure swinger, not a hitter. He won 84 US Tour events - a record still to be beaten, over six different decades, five Majors and recorded 34 holes-in-one. He remained good enough to finish third in the US PGA at age 62 and throughout it all his driving was the lynchpin.

1. Greg Norman

His career spanned the change from persimmon to titanium but he was equally good with either. Previously, golfers tended to be either long or straight but none before or since has combined the two to such telling effect. Like a Federer serve or Lillee bouncer, Norman's tee shot was the ace in his hand that he knew he could rely on when it really counted. Two Opens are scant reward for one so talented but his final 18 holes at Royal St George's in 1993 when he lifted the claret jug for the second time is possibly the greatest driving round ever seen. When the pressure was really on he showed frailty with his iron approach shots but with a wood in his hands he was peerless.

Huge but haywire Tiger Woods: Only a man with his genius could contend as often he does without ever finding a fairway. John Daly: The enormous backswing means that if his timing is just a fraction out - which it often is - then the ball could go anywhere. Laura Davies: Wallops it like an angry man, and just as unpredictable. Hank Kuehne: Tall, pencil-thin American who, like Gerald Ford, doesn't know which course he's playing until after the first tee shot comes to rest.

Back to the practice ground Thomas Bjorn: In this year's European Open put three balls into the River Liffey on the 71st hole before eventually signing off with an 11, on his way to shooting 86. Seve Ballesteros: Once suggested that all courses should have no fairways, so that everyone else would have to play from the rough, too. Jose Maria Olazabal: Often couldn't find a fairway with GPS but such are his powers of recovery, and iron play, that it didn't matter. Ben Crenshaw: Tom Weiskopf said of him: 'He hits in the woods so often he should get an orange hunting jacket.' Arnold Palmer: Only knew one way to play and that was to thrash it as hard as possible [https://golfuniversityau.com/], with rather inevitable consequences.

British Open

British Open, officially the Open Championship or the Open, one of the world’s four major golf tournaments—with the Masters Tournament, the U.S. Open, and the Professional Golfers’ Association (PGA) Championship—and the oldest continually run championship in the sport. Best known outside the United States as the Open Championship or, simply, the Open, it has been held annually (with a few exceptions) on various courses in Scotland, England, and—on one occasion—Northern Ireland since 1860. History The first Open Championship was played on October 17, 1860, at Prestwick Golf Club in Scotland. A field of eight professionals played three rounds of Prestwick’s 12-hole course in one day. Willie Park, Sr., won the inaugural tournament and was presented with the Challenge Belt, a silver-buckled leather belt that each champion was to keep until the following Open. The tournament was opened to amateurs in 1861. In 1863 a purse of £10—which was to be shared among the professionals who finished in second, third, and fourth place—was introduced, and a first-place cash prize of £6 was added in 1864. In 1870 Tom Morris, Jr., won the Open for the third consecutive time and was thus allowed to keep the Challenge Belt permanently. As there was no award to present to the winner, the Open was not held again until 1872, when it was determined that the winning golfer would receive the Golf Champion Trophy, now commonly known as the Claret Jug. In 1892 the Open became a 72-hole event (four rounds of 18 holes), and in 1898 a cut (reduction of the field) was introduced after the first two rounds of play. The Open has always been dominated by professionals, with only six victories by amateurs, all before 1930. The last of those was Bobby Jones’s third Open, which was part of his celebrated Grand Slam (four major tournament victories in one calendar year). The popularization of golf in the mid-20th century produced a string of noteworthy Open champions, including England’s Sir Henry Cotton (winner in 1934, 1937, and 1948), South Africa’s Bobby Locke (1949–50, 1952, 1957), Australia’s Peter W. Thomson (1954–56, 1958, 1965), and the United States’ Arnold Palmer (1961–62) and Tom Watson (1975, 1977, 1980, 1982–83). Watson’s final win in 1983 ended an era of U.S. domination, during which American golfers won 12 times in 14 years. For the next 11 years there was only one American winner, with the Claret Jug going to Spain’s Seve Ballesteros, Australia’s Greg Norman, and England’s Nick Faldo, among others. In 1995 the Open became part of the PGA Tour’s official schedule. American John Daly won that year after a play-off with Italy’s Costantino Rocca, beginning another period of American supremacy at the Open in which 10 of the next 13 winners hailed from the United States, including Tiger Woods, who won three championships (2000, 2005–06). Subsequent years saw a number of victories by golfers for whom the Open was their first major tournament triumph, including Paul Lawrie in 1999, David Duval in 2001, Ben Curtis in 2003, and Padraig Harrington in 2007. Another notable Open champion is Jack Nicklaus, who won in 1966, 1970, and 1978 and placed in the top five 16 times, including seven second-place finishes. Harry Vardon won the Open six times—more than any other player—and four golfers, including Thomson and Watson, won five championships. South African Gary Player, who won the title in 1968 and 1974, holds the record for the most appearances in the Open, with 46. Courses The Open Championship has always been played on links courses (mostly treeless golf courses that are built along a coast and retain the natural uneven terrain of their locations). From 1860 to 1870 the Open was played exclusively at Prestwick Golf Club. Since 1872 it has been played at a number of courses in rotation. Initially the three courses were Prestwick, St. Andrews, and Musselburgh, all located in Scotland. The nine courses in the current rotation are the Old Course at St. Andrews; Carnoustie Golf Links in Carnoustie, Scotland; Muirfield in Gullane, Scotland; the Ailsa Course at the Westin Turnberry Resort, outside Girvan, Scotland; Royal Troon Golf Club in Troon, Scotland; Royal St. George’s Golf Club in Sandwich, England; Royal Birkdale Golf Club in Southport, England; Royal Lytham & St. Annes Golf Club in Lytham St. Annes, England; and Royal Liverpool Golf Club in Hoylake, England. The Open is a unique event and is of great importance to professionals and amateur golfers alike, as well as to fans of golf. Unlike the play of other majors—which are typically contested in sunny locales in the United States—the outcome of the Open is often influenced by the weather. On a links course, morning and afternoon tee times can produce vastly different playing conditions, depending on the breeze that comes in off the sea. The weather is just one of the many unique features of the Open that combine with its long history and prestigious reputation to make it an event unparalleled in golf. This author, who experienced a warm reception from his home crowd when he finished second to Tiger Woods at St. Andrews in 2005, looks forward to competing in the Open every year. To him, the Open is pure romance and theatre, and it truly is a special event that every golfer dreams of winning.

BOB WEISKOPF

March 13, 1914

Bob Weiskopf was born in Chicago, Illinois. He became an Emmy-winning writer and producer for television. At the start of World War II, he moved in with writer Jess Oppenheimer, who 13 years later would hire him to write for “I Love Lucy". Weiskopf was hired to write radio comedy for the legendary comedian Fred Allen. He served in the US military.

He began writing for television in 1950, when he wrote an episode for “The Colgate Comedy Hour” featuring Fred Allen. His creative partnership and friendship with Bob Schiller began in 1953 writing a single radio script for “Our Miss Brooks” before delving into the new media of television together. They wrote for such popular shows as “Make Room for Daddy” (filmed at Desilu), “The Bob Cummings Show,” “I Love Lucy,” “The Lucy-Desi Comedy Hour,” Desilu’s “The Ann Sothern Show” (which they co-created), and “Pete and Gladys”.

Weiskopf joined the “I Love Lucy” writing staff for season five, starting with “Lucy Visits Graumans” (ILL S5;E1) in Fall 1955. This was his first time writing for Lucille Ball.

He continued writing for the show until it’s final episode (53 in all) and continued writing all 13 episodes of “The Lucy Desi Comedy Hour” through the end of 1959.

In between he wrote the pilot script for “The Ann Sothern Show”, an outgrowth of “Private Secretary” created by Desilu when Sothern came to a creative impasse with the previous producers. Lucille Ball played Lucy Ricardo on the series at the start of season two.

He acted as script consultant in 1959 when Lucy and Desi appeared on “Sunday Showcase: The Lucy-Desi Milton Berle Special” assuring that the Ricardo characters were consistently written for Berle’s special. He served in the same capacity for “The Desilu Revue” a holiday variety show for the “Westinghouse Desilu Playhouse” in December 1959.

In the 1960s and 1970s they continued their partnership with such series as “The Lucy Show,” “The Red Skelton Show,” “The Good Guys” (where they were also co-producers), “The Phyllis Diller Show,” “The Carol Burnett Show,” “The Flip Wilson Show,” “Maude” (which they also co-produced), “All in the Family,” and its spinoff series, ”Archie Bunker's Place.”

In 1960 he was one of the writers creating “Guestward Ho” for Desilu. The series was supposed to star Vivian Vance, but the network decided she was too associated with Ethel Mertz and the show was recast for the series. In 1961, Weiskopf was one of the writers of “Pete and Gladys”, a spin-off of Desilu’s “December Bride” that was not produced by Desilu.

In 1962, he returned to working for Desilu and Lucille Ball (as well as briefly for Desi Arnaz) on “The Lucy Show”.

Weiskopf was uncredited co-creator and wrote 48 episodes from season one through the end of 1964.

Although he wrote ten episodes of “The Carol Burnett Show” during season three, he was not a writer for Lucille Ball’s appearance in November 1969.

Weiskopf was, however, one of the writers of the second season opener of “Flip” that featured Lucille Ball. This would be Weiskopf’s last time writing for Ball.

During their long collaboration, Schiller and Weiskopf were honored with two Emmy Awards, a pair of Peabody Awards, a Golden Globe, and the Writers’ Guild of America's Paddy Chayefsky Laurel Award for Television Achievement.

His final writing credit was a 1986 episode of “He’s The Mayor.” He died in 2001 at age 86.
