The skit resulted in the longest audience laughter in the show's history. Bonus disc features. When Lucy slams into Ricky in the final dance step, the eggs break, saturating Lucy's shirt with broken eggs. Features. Unbeknownst to Ricky, Lucy's blouse is filled with chicken eggs. Chapters 23-25 of the Indiana Jones series (The Temple of Doom, Raiders of the Lost Ark, and The Last Crusade, respectively) were released on DVD as a boxed set of all three films plus a fourth disc of bonus materials in 2003. However, Ricky insists that he and Lucy rehearse their tango number for a local benefit. If all goes well, the plan is to tie the DVD release to the theatrical debut of Indy IV.

Lucy does the tango - The Ricardos and the Mertzes chicken business is not going very well, so Lucy and Ethel come up with a plot to fool the boys into thinking the hens are laying by smuggling eggs in the henhouse, hidden underneath their clothes. Work has been ongoing for about 18 months on the Young Indy DVDs, with about another 18 months worth of work yet to be done. Then Ricky, Lucy, Fred and Ethel make their escape to continue their cross country venture. The discs will include some 66 historical featurettes, now in production.

Ricky, Lucy, Fred, and Ethel participate in a square dance called by Cousin Ernie to escape a Bent Fork, Tennessee jail in the course of which the sheriff and his two Rubenesque daughters are tied up with a handy piece of rope. The company has already put in two years of work on creating these DVDs, so as to have bonus features for each movie.

The Singing Jailbreak — This episode is part of the Hollywood story arc. The DVDs for Chapters 1-22 are expected to be released sometime in 2007, according to a statement by series producer, Rick McCallum of Lucasfilm. Cousin Ernie and the citizens of Bent Fork and its environs are encountered several times during the course of the show's life. Spielberg also admitted that an important inspiration for the style and atmosphere of the adventures of Indiana Jones were the adventures of the Belgian comic character Tintin by Hergé. 'Cousin Ernie' (immaculately played by "Tennessee" Ernie Ford) is a stereotypical Country Boy in the Big City, in awe of the sophistication (as he perceives it) of his new hosts. His name is also said to be derived from the character "Nevada Smith," played by Steve McQueen in the 1966 film of the same name. Lucy receives a letter informing her that her "Best Friend's Roommate's Cousin's Middle Boy" — of whom she has never heard — is coming to visit from "Bent Fork, Tennessee". The origin of the name "Indiana" is the same in the real world as in the fiction: It was the name of an Alaskan malamute Lucas had in the 1970s (the same dog was also the inspiration for Chewbacca).

The Cousin Ernie story arc. The name was thus changed early in the production of Raiders of the Lost Ark. Lucy Tries to Meet the Famous Star — another recurring theme, many popular stars were eager to appear on the show, and hilarity ensued in countless episodes as a result of the character, Lucy's obsession with fame and the famous. The character was originally named Indiana Smith, but Spielberg disliked the name and Lucas casually suggested "Indiana Jones". In November of 2001, fans voted this episode as their all-time favorite during a 50th anniversary I Love Lucy television special. [4] However, the most likely inspiration was the fictional character Allan Quatermain. "Do you pop out at parties? Are you unpoopular? Well, the answer to all your troubles is in this bittle lottle!". Another very strong candidate is the famed adventurer and anthropologist Schuyler Jones.

"And it's tasty too - [grimacing] - just like candy!" During rehearsal, Lucy becomes progressively more inebriated, with the inevitable hilarious result, made only the more funny by the alliterative, tongue twisting product name and pitch. Other candidates include explorer Gene Savoy [2], Yale University historian and explorer Hiram Bingham III and University of Chicago archeologist Robert Braidwood [3]. In this episode Lucy manages to get a role as the "Vitameatavegamin girl" and is tasked with trying to sell the public a tonic that has healthy amounts of vitamins, meat, vegetables, minerals — and the less than healthy dose of 23% alcohol. Religious archaeologist Vendyl "Texas" Jones claims that he was the inspiration, citing his names (he notes that his first name trimmed becomes Endy — very similar to Indy), but this claim has reportedly been denied by Spielberg. Vita-meata-vege-min — One of the most memorable episodes was titled "Lucy Does a Commercial", filmed during the first season (episode 30 of 35) on March 28, 1952, and first aired on May 5 of that year. Another person cited as a possible inspiration is the Italian archaeologist and circus strongman Giovanni Battista Belzoni (1778–1823). The Three Stooges are among many others who performed variations on this classic. Probably the most cited person is famous paleontologist Roy Chapman Andrews.

The Stranger with a Kind Face (aka Slowly I Turned) in which a veteran clown introduces Lucy Ricardo to some basics of the clown art, and is schooled in this classic (and at that time quite familiar) vaudevillian routine, complete with 'seltzer bottles' (a familiar clown prop) and slapstick. Many people have been called the real-life inspiration of the Indiana Jones character. This bit was a tribute to Harpo and Groucho's famous mirror scene in the Marx Brothers comedy classic, Duck Soup. Tom Selleck was the first choice for the role, but couldn't get out of a television series commitment (Magnum, P.I.), so Lucas went with Harrison Ford, who he had worked with previously on American Graffiti and his Star Wars films. Perplexed at what he sees he confronts his reflection and Lucy is forced to mimick his every move. [1]. The Mirror Gag — now a classic improvisational acting exercise (with Harpo Marx), in which Lucy, dressed as Harpo Marx encounters the real Harpo while hiding in the kitchen doorway. Indy's revolver is a .38/200 calibre Webley Mk IV, but he is also seen with the .45ACP Colt M1911A1, the 9mm Browning Hi-Power, the Webley Mk VI, and the Smith & Wesson New Century (both in .455 Webley calibre) in the movies, as well as a .45 ACP Smith & Wesson Hand Ejector 2nd model.

Jackie Gleason also did a variation, involving decorating and boxing cakes as they came off an assembly line. Other elements of the outfit include the jacket, the bag, which was a modified World War II gas mask bag; and the whip. This bit was a variation on an old vaudeville routine. Today, the collection of props and clothing from the films, especially the Fedora, has become a subculture/hobby for aficianados of the Indiana Jones franchise. Lucy in the Candy Factory — ("Speeeeeeed it up a little!!") Lucy and Ethel attempt to get jobs — for which they are demonstrably unprepared — the classic candy-gobbling scene in this episode is an American cultural icon. Although multiple hats were used throughout the movies, the distinctive profile of the Fedoras remained the same. Perhaps the best example of this gag is when Lucy shows up unannounced at Ricky's club, toting a clown-modified cello and pretending to be a musician, asking to speak with "Risky Riskerdoo" (Ricky Ricardo) this classic includes Lucy winding the cello's tuning peg as if it were a watch (to the accompaniment of ratcheting sounds) and shooting the cello's bow at Ricky's backside. Swales of Herbert Johnson Hatters in London, England.

The real joke here is that Lucille Ball, aside from being regarded as beautiful, was also quite talented in a variety of performance arts, as well as being a ground-breaking television producer. The original Fedora for the movie trilogy was constructed by Mr. Lucy tries to get into the act — a recurring and almost omnipresent theme on the show, was that "talentless" plain old Lucy the Housewife dearly desired a chance to perform, as anything: a dancer, showgirl, clown, singing cowboy — or in any role. After examining many hats, the designers chose an urban version of the classic Australian fedora, the Akubra. In the course of the television series, Lucy shared the screen with numerous famous clowns, prominent among these were Red Skelton and Harpo Marx. Upon requests by Spielberg and Lucas the costume designer was given the task to make the character have a distinctive recognizable silhouette through the style of the hat (much like Dick Tracy). She is regarded as one of the best in the history of film and television at physical 'schtick'. Spielberg wanted Indiana to be a James Bond-like figure that got into difficult situations and worked his way out.

The setup of the show provided ample opportunities for Ball to display her skills at clowning and physical comedy. Lucas responded that he had something better than that. Lucy Ricardo was a friendly, ambitious and somewhat naïve housewife, constantly getting into trouble of one kind or another. Spielberg told Lucas how he wanted to direct a James Bond film. Considered by professional clowns to be one of their own, Lucille Ball's 'clown character' was "Lucy Ricardo." (nee "Lucille McGillicuddy" — an instantly recognizable clown moniker). The two friends first discussed the project while in Hawaii during the time of release of the first Star Wars film. The clown. Indiana Jones, "Obtainer of Rare Antiquities", is modeled after the strong-jawed heroes of the matinee serials and pulp magazines that Lucas and Spielberg enjoyed in their childhoods, such as the Republic Pictures serials, and Doc Savage.

The following list reviews some of the high points. This was the first game to use Williams/Midway's DCS Sound System, with the music composed by Chris Granner.
