I Love Lucy: Ricky Thinks He's Getting Bald (1952)
Season 1, Episode 34
10/10
Sheldon Cooper's grandpa as I live and breathe!
28 July 2021
As I was watching, Mr. Thurlow reminded me so very much of Stuart from Big Bang Theory. It kept nagging at me so I finally looked it up, thinking he might have been a relative of Kevin Sussman. (Y'all see it too, don't you?) You could have knocked me over with a feather when I found out who he really is: Jim Parson's grandfather, Milton Parsons. How ironic is that? Now that I know who he is, it makes the episode of even more special. And I guarantee you that during his decades on stage, everyone reading this has seen him many times.

I loved so much about this episode. Normally Lucy does more physical comedy than Ricky but this episode gave him a chance to shine and show his true comedic talent. Every bit that he did was superb and so funny I nearly fell off my chair!

But I have to say Fred Mertz's toupee stole the show.
