Hilarious

Warning: Spoilers
One of my very favorite episodes of this beloved classic TV comedy is this one.

Lucy is notorious for telling fibs; therefore it's fun viewing time when the boys and Ethel bet the whacky redhead that she cannot tell the whole undiluted truth for 24 hours.

Well, folks got more than they bargained for: not only does the former Miss MacGillicuddy tell the truth, but she tell each of her friends and Ricky - exactly what she thinks of them.

A riot of laughter is the scene at Carolyn Appleby's bridge game.

Priceless and timeless comedy which will likely never be equalled.

And Lucy's timing whilst smoking a cigarette and thinking a knife will slice it is split-second perfection in Miss Ball's best style.

One of the best Lucy episodes ever
thrillerusacom11 December 2008
When I first saw this episode and saw what a great time Lucy had telling the truth, I decided that I would always be frank about everything. My friends have really appreciated my candor, and I can singlehandedly attribute it to Lucy Tells the Truth. The absolute best part of it is when, in an attempt to get Lucy to lie after daring her to tell the truth for 24 hours, Ethel brings Marion into the room and asks Lucy what she thinks of Marion's hat. Marion's hat is the most ridiculous-looking, over-the-top showy hat ever, but Lucy manages truth and grace with her statement: "Well, Marion, if that's the kind of hat you wanted, you certainly got a good one!" Classic Lucy!

The bet

Lucy lies too much Ricky, Fred and Ethel bet she can't tell a lie 24 hours. I enjoy Lucy telling her girlfriends the truth it was funny. And the last part with the balloon act.
