And frankly, I'd also rather go to the new Rodgers and Hammerstein musical then sit at home waiting for a phone call that may never happen. Of course, in 1952, there was no new Rodgers and Hammerstein musical, just "The King and I" which had been running for over a year. Lucy and Ethel are tired of their old furniture and decide to enter a contest which would give them new furniture so Fred and Ricky decide to fool them by making them think that they won rather than them sit at home, which causes Lucy to give her old furniture to a second hand furniture salesman. They also decide to re wallpaper the apartment which of course leads to comical disaster.
That's Hans Conreid, whom Lucy had worked with in "The Big Street", as the furniture salesman and Florence Halop of "Night Court" as one of the women on Lucy's party line. The wallpapering sequence is one of the funniest moments in the series' history, a classic moment that has been often imitated but not topped. It is a good lesson that proves that certain things should not be tried at home.
