📚 STUFF I READ 📚

🥰 The Last Devil to Die (Thursday Murder Club #4) (Richard Osman, author; Fiona Shaw, narrator) - still loving the characters, love to hang out with them & Osman's plots move along nicely so you don't get bored at all. Fiona Shaw's narration is great & as a little treat she & Osman have a nice little chat at the end.

🥰 Four Letter Word For Intercourse (bendingsignpost) - 194K, destiel AU - adult college student Dean & professor (and phone sex worker) Cas - LOVE this fic so much & had kind of forgotten about it until it came up as a rec in one of my romance discord servers. Just, so good.

😊 Mrs Sidhu Investigates (Suk Pannu, author; full voice cast) - 2 episodes of the BBC Radio 4 program: #1 Murder with Masala; #2 Mrs Sidhu's Dangerous Highland Game - I prefer the slight changes made for the TV show's characterizations but still eminently enjoyable. (Meera Syal still absolutely rules!)

🥰 Lucky Bounce (Cait Nary) - extremely delightful hockey romance. Low/no angst, charming, cutie MCs. Definitely in the 'no plot, just vibes' category which honestly I love when done skillfully.

THE PRACTICE

“The Dream” (S2;E1) ~ October 13, 1976

Directed by Noam Pitlik

Created and Written by Steve Gordon

Synopsis: Dr. Jules has an eccentric new patient (Lucille Ball) who claims to see visions of her own death. When she correctly predicts that a chandelier will fall, Dr. Jules starts to take her seriously. With the date of her predicted demise fast approaching, she is hospitalized, where she undergoes emergency brain surgery, saving her life.

Danny Thomas (Dr. Jules Bedford) was born Amos Muzyad Yakhoob Kairouz in 1912. His screen career began in 1947 but he was most famous for appearing on television in the long-running show “Make Room for Daddy” (1953-1964), which was shot at Desilu Studios. When the series moved from ABC to CBS in 1957, Thomas and the cast starred in a rare TV cross-over with “The Lucy-Desi Comedy Hour” titled “Lucy Makes Room for Danny.”  In return, Lucy and Desi turned up on Thomas’s show. Fifteen years later, Lucy and Danny did yet another cross-over when Lucy Carter of “Here’s Lucy” appeared on “Make Room for Granddaddy.” In addition, Thomas also played an aging artist on a 1973 episode of “Here’s Lucy.” Thomas is fondly remembered for founding St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. He is also father to actress Marlo Thomas, who did a guest star appearance on “The Practice.” He died in 1999.

Lucille Ball (Matilda Morrison) was born on August 6, 1911 in Jamestown, New York. She began her screen career in 1933 and was known in Hollywood as ‘Queen of the B’s’ due to her many appearances in ‘B’ movies. With Richard Denning, she starred in a radio program titled “My Favorite Husband” which eventually led to the creation of “I Love Lucy,” a television situation comedy in which she co-starred with her real-life husband, Latin bandleader Desi Arnaz. The program was phenomenally successful, allowing the couple to purchase what was once RKO Studios, re-naming it Desilu. When the show ended in 1960 (in an hour-long format known as “The Lucy-Desi Comedy Hour”) so did Lucy and Desi’s marriage. In 1962, hoping to keep Desilu financially solvent, Lucy returned to the sitcom format with “The Lucy Show,” which lasted six seasons. She followed that with a similar sitcom “Here’s Lucy” co-starring with her real-life children, Lucie and Desi Jr., as well as Gale Gordon, who had joined the cast of “The Lucy Show” during season two. Before her death in 1989, Lucy made one more attempt at a sitcom with “Life With Lucy,” also with Gordon, which was not a success and was canceled after just 13 episodes.

Matilda is an unmarried underwear saleswoman who is psychic. 

David Spielberg (Dr. David Bedford) started acting on screen in 1969. This was his first recurring role on a series. He also was featured on “The American Girls” (1978) and “Wiseguy” (1988) among many others. He died in 2016.

Dr. David Bedford is Jules' son.

Dena Dietrich (Molly Gibbons) is probably best known for her Chiffon Margarine commercial in which she utters the famous line: “It’s not nice to fool Mother Nature!” She had recurring roles on such series as “Adam’s Rib” (1973), “Karen” (1975), “The Ropers” (1979-80), and “Philly” (2001-02). In 1986, she guest starred on “Lucy, Legal Eagle” (LWL S1;E7), an episode of “Life With Lucy.”  

Molly is secretly in love with Jules.

Didi Conn (Helen) is probably best remembered for her role as Frenchie, the Beauty School Dropout, in both Grease and Grease II. She also starred in the film You Light Up My Life (1977). Her childlike voice also is heard in various animated shows.

Helen is Dr. Jules Bedford's receptionist and office manager.

Shelley Fabares (Jenny Bedford) achieved teen-idol status with her role as the wholesome daughter Mary Stone on “The Donna Reed Show” (1958-65), a part she played for five seasons before embarking on a film career. She also had recurring roles on “The Brian Keith Show” (1972-74) and “One Day at a Time” (1978-84). She is the niece of Nanette Fabray, who appeared with Lucille Ball in “Happy Anniversary and Goodbye” in 1974.  

Jenny is married to David.  They have two children (who do not appear in this episode).  

Mike Evans (Lenny) is probably best remembered as Lionel Jefferson, first on “All in the Family” then on the spin-off “The Jeffersons.” He left the series and was replaced by Damon Evans (no relation) only to return to the role in 1979. In 1973, he played opposite Desi Arnaz Jr. in the film Voyage of the Yes. The same year he joined the cast of “The Practice” he created the series “Good Times,” which ran until 1979. He died in 2006 at age 57.

“The Practice” was a short-lived situation comedy starring Danny Thomas as grumpy old Dr. Jules Bedford. It was a mid-season replacement on NBC, premiering in January 1976. It was picked up for a second season but was canceled in January 1977 before the last two of its 27 episodes could air.

Danny Thomas and Lucille Ball often did cross-overs on each others shows. Lucy Ricardo was seen on “Make Room for Daddy” (above) in 1957 and Lucy Carter appeared on an episode of “Make Room for Granddaddy” in 1971. Thomas invited Lucille Ball to appear at the start of season two of “The Practice” to boost ratings.  At this point, “Here's Lucy” had ended so Ball had to appear as a newly created character, Matilda Morrison.  

Except for specials and award shows, this would be the last time Lucille Ball and Danny Thomas would act together on television. It is also the last time Lucille Ball would play a character on someone else's show.  

“The Practice” aired opposite “Good Times” on CBS, a series created and written by Mike Evans. Essentially Evans was competing with himself.  

This episode was taped on August 13, 1976, one week after Lucille Ball's 65th birthday.

The opening credit sequence was filmed on location in Manhattan, while the show was video taped in front of a studio audience in Hollywood. The final frames show Danny Thomas standing in front of New York Medical College. While the visuals for the opening credits remained unchanged for the second season, the music changed to a new ragtime-style theme. During season one a more classical-sounding theme was used.

Dr. Jules Bedford's office is in a middle-class area on Manhattan's West Side. His son's practice is on exclusive Park Avenue.

Matilda (having a blood test): “Is that my blood?” Jules: “No, it's Zsa Zsa Gabor's.  How it got into your body, I'll never know.”

Although Zsa Zsa Gabor and Lucille Ball were off-screen acquaintances, they never worked together in front of the camera. Zsa Zsa's sister Eva, however, guest-starred on two episodes of “Here's Lucy.”

Matilda has a premonition that she's going to die on October 14th. The episode was first aired on October 13th, which also happens to be the date of the first scene in the hospital.  

Jules: “Where is the pain?” Matilda (confused): “The pain is..  The pain is... (to Jules) You wanna buy a bra?  Mrs. Garvas, let's face it you're no Jane Russell.  You could use a little lift.”

Hollywood actress Jane Russell was a sex symbol of the 1940s and 50s. In the 1970s, she started appearing in television commercials as a spokeswoman for Playtex Cross-Your-Heart Bras. In 1959 she guest-starred on “The Westinghouse Desilu Playhouse” in “Ballad for a Bad Man” hosted and produced by Desi Arnaz. She was mentioned on “I Love Lucy” during “Ricky's Screen Test” (ILL S4;E6) in 1954.

Matilda has to have brain surgery, which saves her life.

Matilda: (waking up) “Am I dead?” Jules: “If you were, I'd be the first to tell you.”  

Ooops! When Matilda comes out of brain surgery, Lucille Ball's head is covered in bandages, yet she still has on heavy eye make-up and bright red lipstick!  

This Date in Lucy History – October 13th

"The Operetta" (ILL S2;E5) – October 13, 1952

"Lucy Runs the Rapids" (HL S2;E4) – October 13, 1969
