If you’ve never seen I Love Lucy, don’t worry—you’re not alone. But once you watch just a few classic episodes, you might find yourself bingeing a black-and-white show from the 1950s. Why? Because great comedy never goes out of style.
Here are 4 must-watch episodes to fall in love with Lucy:
1. “Job Switching” (Season 2, Episode 1)
Lucy and Ethel work at a chocolate factory—and chaos ensues when the conveyor belt goes too fast. One of the most iconic scenes in TV history!
2. “Lucy Does a TV Commercial” (Season 1, Episode 30)
Lucy auditions for a TV ad, but ends up intoxicated from “Vitameatavegamin” tonic. Her drunken delivery is pure comedy gold.
3. “Lucy’s Italian Movie” (Season 5, Episode 23)
Lucy tries to learn traditional Italian winemaking and ends up wrestling in a vat of grapes. Messy, physical comedy at its finest.
4. “Harpo Marx” (Season 4, Episode 28)
Lucy mimics legendary silent comedian Harpo Marx—leading to a brilliant and wordless mirror routine that showcases both performers’ talents.
Each episode is under 30 minutes. All you need is a laugh and an open mind—and Lucy will do the rest.
