RADIO on TV!
Radio Shows on Lucille Ball’s TV Sitcoms
Television was an outgrowth of radio. Many of our best loved shows originally came from radio - including “I Love Lucy,” which was inspired by the success of “My Favorite Husband”. Here are a few stragglers - radio shows that were mentioned on Lucy TV!
There was some thought about creating an “I Love Lucy” radio show to run in simultaneously with the television series as was being done with “Our Miss Brooks.” A pilot show was produced, but it never aired. It was created by editing the soundtrack of the television episode “Breaking the Lease”, with added narration. It included commercials for Philip Morris, which sponsored the TV series. Philip Morris eventually sponsored a radio edition of “My Little Margie” instead. Here’s Ricky’s opening narration:
“Hello. I’m Ricky Ricardo and I’m the guy who loves Lucy. The whole thing started ten years ago. I had just come to this country from Cuba and I didn’t know much about your customs. The first girl I had a date with was Lucy. It was a romantic night and after all I had a reputation to live up to as a Latin lover so I kissed her goodnight. It was right then that she told me that under the Constitution of the United States if a man kisses a girl he has to marry her. Then I found out that she tricked me. I didn’t care. Because after all, if I hadn’t married her, I’d would have married someone else. And Lucy’s just like any other American girl, who is pretty, charming, witty, and partly insane.”
FREDDY FILLMORE QUIZ SHOWS
“The Quiz Show” (1951)
With Lucy’s household accounts in arrears, she goes on a radio quiz show to win a thousand dollars. All she has to do is pretend a complete stranger is her first husband in front of Ricky. A tramp at the door throws a monkey wrench into the scheme!
This is the first of three episodes to feature Frank Nelson in the role of Freddy Fillmore, game show host extraordinaire. He is the host of “Females Are Fabulous”. The announcer who encourages the audience to applaud is played by Lee Millar. The premise of the show has Lucy being pelted with various items (mostly liquids) when Ricky sings a trigger word from a safe distance.
“Lucy Gets Ricky on the Radio” (1952)
When their TV breaks down, the gang tunes in to a radio quiz show. Surprisingly, Ricky correctly guesses the answers to all of the questions, so the next day Lucy signs them up to be on the show. Little did she know that the quiz was a delayed broadcast and that Ricky overheard the answers while at the studio! This episode is based on Lucy’s radio show, “My Favorite Husband” “Quiz Show,” which aired October 23, 1948. In the radio version, the show was called “His and Hers” and is hosted by Smiley Stembottom (Frank Nelson).
On television, the quiz show is called “Mr. and Mrs. Quiz” and is hosted by Freddy Fillmore (Frank Nelson again).
Everyone on the series loved Roy Rowan’s on-screen announcing for "Mr. and Mrs. Quiz” so much that he then became the announcer for “I Love Lucy.” To be sure Ricky wins, Lucy steals the questions. Unbeknownst to her, Fillmore changes the questions at the last minute so Lucy’s answers make no sense.
The next time we see Freddy Fillmore he has made the transition to television with his latest quiz show “Be A Good Neighbor”.
“Off To Florida” (1956)
Radio plays an integral role in the plot of the episode. Lucy and Ethel hitch a ride to Florida with a Mrs. Grundy (Elsa Lanchester), an eccentric woman.��To fall sleep in the parked car, Lucy turns on the radio for some soothing music, until...
NEWSCASTER: “Now here's the latest bulletin on the Evelyn Holmby case. Police have definitely established that Evelyn Holmby, famous gray-haired hatchet murderess who escaped from New York State Prison Thursday, is heading south in a cream-colored convertible coupe. Stand by for further bulletins. And now back to our recorded music.”
Having found a hatchet in the car’s trunk, Lucy puts two and two together and is wonders if their driver is the wanted criminal on the lam! Lucy and Ethel chalk it up to coincidence. In the morning, they try to cat nap while Mrs. Grundy is driving. When they are sleeping, she turns on the radio.
NEWSCASTER: “That winds up the news from Washington today. And here's the latest bulletin on Evelyn Holmby, escaped hatchet murderess. Police have learned that, before leaving New York, she dyed her gray hair red, and is heading south with a blonde companion.”
Now Mrs. Grundy suspects Lucy and Ethel!
The radio announcer is voiced by Roy Roberts. The big band music in the background was also heard in “Country Club Dance” (1957).
“Lucy is a Chaperone” (1963)
Lucy and Viv chaperone a group of Chris’s friends on a beach vacation. When the girls are dancing to music on the radio, Viv mistakes the Mashed Potato for the Jitterbug. When Lucy attempts the steps, Viv remarks that she's got “lumps in her gravy.” The Mashed Potato was a popular dance craze of 1962 made famous by James Brown. A companion dance song was titled (appropriately) “Gravy”. This marks the first of many appearances by the red transistor radio - albeit in black and white!
“Ethel Merman and the Boy Scout Show” (1964)
During a tribute to show business, radio is represented by Mr. Mooney as a radio host presenting a lady saxophone player (Lucy) from Altoona, Pennsylvania, playing “Glow Worm” (poorly).
“Lucy and the Beauty Doctor” (1965)
At the start of the episode, Lucy and Viv listen to the radio show “Morning Magazine of the Air” which presents Lady Cynthia's Beauty Tips. It is from this broadcast that Lucy hears about a $25 beauty treatment by Dr. Fleischer.
LADY CYNTHIA (voice on radio): “Good morning, ladies. How would you like to have your biggest beauty problem behind you?” VIV (listening to radio): “That’s where mine is now.”
Lady Cynthia is voiced by Carole Cook and Sid Gould is the announcer.
Now easily identified in color, Lucy’s red transistor radio will turn up many times on “The Lucy Show”, even after she moves to Los Angeles.
“Lucy the Disc Jockey” (1965)
Lucy wins a mystery sound contest on the radio, winning $25 and the chance to be disc jockey for a day. Naturally, things don’t go smoothly when she takes over the studio.
The host of the radio show Gordon ‘Fair’ Felson (Pat Harrington). The call letters of the radio station are WLDJ representing the first letter of each word in the episode’s title: “Lucy the Disc Jockey.”
After playing the mystery sound, Felson announces the return to “the swing sounds of Jan Garber.” Garber was a bandleader known for ‘sweet’ and ‘swing’ jazz. His nickname was “The Idol of the Air Lanes.”
Mr. Mooney says that the ‘Name the Sound’ contest is the silliest thing since ‘Mrs. Hush’. The Mrs. Hush contest was a feature of “Truth or Consequences” radio show in 1947.
“Lucy the Rain Goddess” (1966)
Herbie (Marc Cavell), the bank office boy, is blaring “Do The Watusi!” on his transistor radio. The song (without lyrics) was also heard in “Chris’s New Year’s Eve Party” (1962).
“Lucy’s Burglar Alarm” (1969)
At the start of the episode, Craig is practicing guitar and Kim is listening to a transistor radio playing an instrumental version of “I Know a Place” by Tony Hatch. The song was made popular in 1965 by Petula Clark. This is the third time the song has been heard on “Here’s Lucy.”
“Lucy and Jack Benny’s Biography” (1970)
Helping Benny write his memoirs, Lucy plays all the women in Jack’s life. In the fourth flashback, Jack Benny is a radio star broadcasting with Mary Livingstone. In this sequence, Lucille Ball lip synchs to the voice of the real Mary Livingstone, who became Mrs. Jack Benny in 1927.
“Lucy, the Other Woman” (1972)
While having breakfast, Lucy listens to a radio news report about a marital triangle that caused a Mrs. Mercedes Smith of Sherman Oaks to shoot a Mrs. Vivian Boone for breaking up her happy home. The newscaster is voiced by Roy Rowan.

WALL OF VOODOO "Shouldn't Have Given Him a Gun for Christmas" (aka "A MAGAt's Christmas")
There's been snow covered Christmases And ones just of rain Of smoked hams and warm bread And shiny toy trains
And though they've always been different They've all been the best Yet there's one I remember More tenderly than all the rest
It all began with Uncle Jack He made a crack and wouldn't take it back Dad was drinking, he got sore
There was a flash, and a crash It took the manger on the floor
Shouldn't have given him a gun for Christmas Shouldn't have given him a gun, gun, gun Shouldn't have given him a gun for Christmas Look what Daddy has done, done, done!
He put two slugs into the neighbor's door And kicked upon a raging scene The plastic baby Jesus he blew to smithereens
I can't think about the nine year old Who only seems ten And how he went on cavelling to the doors of now dead man, oh
Shouldn't have given him a gun for Christmas Shouldn't have given him a gun, gun, gun Shouldn't have given him a gun for Christmas Look what Daddy has done, done, done!
O Tannenbaum, o Tannenbaum Wie treu sind deine Biätter!
Du grünst nicht nur zur Sommerzeit Nein, auch im Winter, wenn es schneit
O Tannenbaum, o Tannenbaum Wie treu sind deine Biätter! Of course I could have been pizzas and all that but-
Oooo, yeah!
Shouldn't have given him a gun for Christmas Shouldn't have given him a gun, gun, gun Shouldn't have given him a gun for Christmas Look what Daddy has done, done, done!
Music and Lyrics by Andy Prieboy and Marc Moreland

Lucy, the Rain Goddess
S4;E15~ January 3, 1966
Synopsis
When Mr. Mooney escapes to a dude ranch without signing some important bank papers, Lucy follows him and is mistaken for a rain goddess by a nearby Native American tribe.
Regular Cast
Lucille Ball (Lucy Carmichael), Gale Gordon (Theodore J. Mooney)
Mary Jane Croft (Mary Jane Lewis) does not appear in this episode, although Lucy does have a phone conversation with her.
Guest Cast
Willard Waterman (Tex Critter) was a versatile voice actor who appeared on hundreds of radio shows in the 1930s and 40s. He is probably best remembered for playing 'The Great Gildersleeve' on both radio and TV. He previously played TV host Greg Gregory in “Lucy and the Plumber” (S3;E2).
Tex Critter is the Tumbleweed Inn's social director. The character's name is a pun on Tex Ritter, a country music singer and movie actor popular from the mid-1930s into the 1960s. Ritter is mentioned in “Lucy Goes to the Rodeo” (ILL S5;E8). He is the father of sitcom star John Ritter, one of Lucille Ball’s favorites.
Douglas Fowley (Chief, above left) was first seen with Lucille Ball in the 1935 film musical Old Man Rhythm. In 1952 he played movie director Roscoe Dexter in the film Singin' in the Rain.
The Chief is Dick's father.
Larry Blake (Medicine Man, above right) was a former vaudevillian who began doing movies in 1937. He will do eight episodes of “Here's Lucy.”
The Medicine Man is Vince's father.
Jamie Farr (Vince, above right) is probably best known as the cross-dressing Klinger on TV's “M*A*S*H” (1972-1983). This is his only appearance opposite Lucille Ball.
Vince's Indian name is ‘Wolf With Nose Like Anteater’.
Alan Reed Jr. (Dick, above left) is the son of Alan Reed, who voiced Fred Flintstone. Although this is his only appearance on “The Lucy Show,” his father appeared in “Lucy Visits the White House” (S1;E25).
Dick's Indian name is ‘Running Bear Who Smell Like Skunk’.
Marc Cavell (Herbie, Bank Office Boy) made his screen debut in 1949. This is his only appearance with Lucille Ball.
Bennett Green (Ranch Guest, above right) was Desi Arnaz’s camera and lighting stand-in during “I Love Lucy.” He does occasional background work on “The Lucy Show.”
Hazel Pierce (Ranch Guest, above left) was Lucille Ball’s camera and lighting stand-in throughout “I Love Lucy.” She also made frequent appearances on the show. Of her many on-camera appearances on “The Lucy Show” only once was she given a character name and credited, in “Lucy Plays Cleopatra” (S1;E1). She was also an uncredited extra in the film Forever Darling (1956).
Renita Reachi (Ranch Guest, behind Lucy) was a costumer for “The Lucy Show” from 1966 to 1968. She was also Vivian Vance’s camera and lighting stand-in for “I Love Lucy” and “The Lucy Show.” She was a costumer and/or made crowd appearances on “Here's Lucy” and the Lucille Ball films Yours, Mine and Ours (1968) and Mame (1974).
Joan Carey (Ranch Guest, uncredited, far right) was a frequent background player on “I Love Lucy” and “The Lucy Show,” eventually becoming Ball’s stand-in on this series.
Bobby Gilbert (Ranch Guest) was born Robert Wolf in 1898. A vaudevillian, he was one of the first performers to play the South Pacific on USO tours during WWII. He was an extra in such hit musical films as Some Like It Hot (1959), How To Succeed in Business (1967), Thoroughly Modern Millie (1967) and Bednobs and Broomsticks (1971). This is the second of his two appearances on “The Lucy Show.”
Roy Rowan is the voice of the radio announcer. He generally voices any TV or radio broadcasts that are part of the plots of “The Lucy Show,” but has also appeared on camera.
Other Ranch Guests and Native Americans are played by uncredited performers.
This is the first new episode of 1966. The script was finalized on November 3, 1965. This is the first and only episode written by Brad Radnitz and Bruce Howard. This was Radnitz's first script for TV.
It sounds as if Gale Gordon is having vocal problems during the episode.
Lucy jokingly calls Mr. Mooney Captain Bligh. William Bligh (1754-1817) was a British navy captain of the HMS Bounty whose crew staged a mutiny in rebellion of his tyranny. The story is the basis four five films and a stage musical. Lucy is probably thinking of the 1962 film Mutiny on the Bounty starring Trevor Howard as Bligh and Marlon Brando as Mr. Christian.
The office boy's transistor radio is blaring “Do the Watusi.” The music, without lyrics, was also heard in “Chris's New Year's Eve Party” (S1;E14).
Trying to figure out where Mr. Mooney might have gone for his secret get-away, she reads newspaper ads for the Tyrol Room, the Round-Up, Spanish Hacienda, Lazy Days, and Shady Nook Nudist Colony. Lucy rejects the idea of the nudist colony because she says Mr. Mooney used to blush when he watched “Naked City.” “Naked City” (1958-63) was a TV series about the cases of New York's 65 precinct. The metaphorical title comes from the final lines of the show: “There are eight million stories in the naked city. This has been one of them.” Lazy Days was also the name of the health farm in “Lucy and the Countess Lose Weight” (S3;E21).
The painting over Lucy’s desk is Vincent Van Gogh's “Houses in Auvers” (1890). The painting over Mr. Mooney’s desk across the room is titled "La chiesa della Salute" (1947) by Filippo de Pisis, an Italian painter known for his still life and cityscapes. Desilu props were stocked to the rafters with reproductions of masterworks.
Mr. Mooney's secret getaway is the Tumbleweed Inn in Indian Rock (not to be confused with the Indianweed Inn in Tumblerock), two hours outside of Los Angeles, where he is known as 'Hopalong' and dresses in black cowboy duds.
To convince the Chief and the Medicine Man she is friendly, Lucy says: “Me hate John Wayne.” John Wayne played a cowboy in most of his films. He played himself on “I Love Lucy” in 1955 and will do so again on a season 5 episode of “The Lucy Show.”
When asked to do a rain dance, Lucy asks the Native American drummer: “Do you know 'Stormy Weather'? How about 'April Showers'? 'Singin' in the Rain'?” "Stormy Weather" is a 1933 song written by Harold Arlen and Ted Koehler. Ethel Waters first sang it at The Cotton Club in Harlem. In 1965 it was covered by Bing Crosby. "April Showers" was written by Louis Silvers and B.G. De Sylva and introduced by Al Jolson in the 1921 Broadway musical Bombo. "Singin' In the Rain" is by Arthur Freed and Nacio Herb Brown published in 1929. It became the centerpiece of the 1952 musical film of the same name. Coincidentally, Douglas Fowley (the Chief) played a supporting role in the film.
For her improvised rain dance, Lucy does pantomime and a few steps of the Charleston. She earns a round of applause from the studio audience. To the rhythmic beat of the drum, she then launches into bumps and grinds like a stripper, even miming removing gloves and tossing them away. Instead of a cloud burst, they are showered with oil when Vince and Dick strike a nearby gusher.
As was usual with films and TV shows of the time, the Native American characters were played by white and mixed race actors of dark complexion. The script also indulges in humor derived from stereotypical speech patterns of Native Americans, although the presence of two tribe sons (Dick and Vince) who speak and act like most modern teens, helps keep the comedy in perspective.
Callbacks!
This is not the first time Lucy was atop a totem pole. The April 17, 1953 edition of TV Guide (the third national edition ever) had Lucy and Little Ricky atop a TV totem pole featuring Cid Caesar, Imogene Coca, Milton Berle, and Arthur Godfrey, all TV icons of the early 1950s.
Lucy dressed like a Native American squaw in both “Lucy and the Scout Trip” (S2;E26) and “The Indian Show” (ILL S2;E24) wearing the same exact outfit. This costume is different – it is powder blue, a color that favored Lucille Ball.
Blooper Alerts!
In the prop newspaper, an ad for the Palace Theatre uses the same font seen in a newspaper in “Ricky's Old Girlfriend” (ILL S3;E12) in 1953!
“Lucy, the Rain Goddess” rates 3 Paper Hearts out of 5

SONY MUSIC MASTERWORKS
SONY MUSIC MASTERWORKS ANUNCIA UNA INVERSIÓN ESTRATÉGICA EN LA EMPRESA DE PRODUCCIÓN TEATRAL SEAVIEW
La obra Slave Play de Seaview obtuvo 12 nominaciones a los premios Ton, más que cualquier otra obra en la historia; y Sea Wall / A Life de Broadway recibió 4 nominaciones a los mismos premios.
Sony Music Masterworks, una división de Sony Music Entertainment, anuncia hoy su inversión estratética en Seaview, una empresa de producción teatral líder en el sector dirigida por el productor y empresario ganador de Premios Tony, Greg Nobile.
Bajo el nuevo acuerdo, Masterworks adquiere el 50% de la compañía y colaborará con Seaview en el desarrollo de una selección de nuevas producciones teatrales y apoyará a Seaview en nuevos lanzamientos en cine, televisión y podcasts el próximo año.
Nobile, cofundador y actual C.E.O. de Seaview, continuará supervisando las operaciones de la empresa junto a la cofundadora Jana Shea y la directora ejecutiva Carly Callahan. Trabajarán en estrecha colaboración con el presidente Mark Cavell y Scott Farthing, vicepresidente senior de Masterworks Broadway.
Seaview, que desarrolla y produce espectáculos en Broadway, Off-Broadway y el West End de Londres, produjo recientemente la innovadora obra de Jeremy O. Harris nominada a 12 Premios Tony Slave Play y la obra 4 veces nominada también a los Tony Sea Wall / A Life (protagonizada por Jake Gyllenhaal y Tom Sturridge) en Broadway. Las próximas producciones incluyen el musical de Broadway Lempicka, dirigida por la ganadora del Premio Tony, Rachel Chavkin, y una nueva obra de Jeremy O. Harris.
Marc Cavell, presidente de Sony Music Masterworks, dice: "Estamos encantados de unir fuerzas en Seaview con Greg Nobile, un innovador absoluto en el sector de la producción teatral. La intuición y pasión de Greg por la experiencia del escenario en directo combinada con la celebrada historia, conocimiento y experiencia de Sony Music Masterworks en el teatro de Broadway y el West End de Londres, ayudará a Seaview a continuar su crecimiento como motor emergente en el espacio del teatro en directo. Estamos deseando colaborar en nuevas oportunidades y en la construcción de un sólido futuro para Seaview.
Greg Nobile, C.E.O. de Seaview, comenta: "Es un gran honor unirnos a Sony Music Masterworks en este proyecto sin precedentes. Hace siete años, Jane y yo fundamos Seaview guiados por la creencia de que debemos invertir ante todo en los artistas, que son los narradores de nuestro tiempo.

Estamos emocionados por todo lo que está por venir, en Broadway y otros sitios".
Con este nuevo acuerdo, Sony Music Masterworks continúa su expansión en la producción teatral en EE. UU. Masterworks es coproductora de esperado musical de Broadway Sing Street, y ya coprodujo el ganador del Premio Tony SpongeBob Musical.
La relación con Seaview es también la más reciente de una serie de asociaciones y adquisiciones que Masterworks ha consolidado en el espacio en directo antes del eventual regreso de los conciertos y el teatro. Esta incluye acuerdos con Terrapin Station Entertainment, una empresa de producción y management de artistas, y RoadCo Entertainment, una nueva agencia de reservas que se especializa en eventos en directo y atracciones para los espectadores de todas las edades. A lo largo de los dos últimos años, Masterworks ha anunciado acuerdos con Senbla, la empresa de producción y promoción de conciertos con base en Reino Unido; y Raymond Gubbay Ltd. (RGL), la legendaria promotora de eventos, ballet y música.

Your Decades of Horror 1980s Grue-Crew is joined on this episode by special effects artist Ralph Miller whom Grue-Believers will remember from his interview in episode 155. Ralph worked on the creation of the backseat demon that makes its appearance on lover’s lane in Trick or Treat. It seemed only natural to invite him back for this episode and he was so kind as to accept our invitation.
Trick or Treat is Chad’s pick and you can probably guess why. In fact, he saw it several times in a theater. Bill wonders where the heck the teachers are in the high school featured in this film. The demon’s tongue grabs Crystal’s attention while Jeff gets stuck in pointing out that The Beatles created what might be the most well-known instance of backmasking. The members of the 80s Grue-Crew unanimously think the demon Ralph helped create was the best part of the film and should’ve received far more screen time!
It bears mentioning that Gruesome Magazine’s own Paul Cardullo (Yes, Patreon members, those weekly updates are coming from Paul!) is a high school extra in Trick or Treat. The film was shot in North Carolina and John T. Hoggard High School in Wilmington was used to depict Sammi Curr’s high school. You should be able to see Paul lurking in the stacks during a chase scene through the school library.
The 80s Grue-Crew recommends Trick or Treat but it’s a tough watch to find. As of this writing, it is available on YouTube. Keep your fingers crossed for a future US release on Blu ray.
Gruesome Magazine’s Decades of Horror 1980s is part of the Decades of Horror 3-week rotation with The Classic Era and the 1970s. In episode 157, the 80s Grue-Crew will visit director John Carpenter’s work again in Escape from New York (1981). A-Number-One!
