"Lucy at her best trying to get into Ricky's new show. People may not like it bc of some politically incorrect but I have to highly disagree. This episode teaches people a lot and open the doors. Desi was a cuban man who made it onto television and became a camera man genius. If it wasn't for Lucy who pressed for her real husband on this show who knows where television would be today. Plus he he brought on many of color and his Spanish made it great. I liked how the Juanita character sang Waters of Minnetonka - but Lucy's made it lucy. Plus Lucy wanted to be in the show Juanita ..."
