Changing opinion of this episode

Warning: Spoilers
I still find it very funny and a little different. For one time only it Ethel vs the rest . Mostly it's women vs men , occasionally couple vs couple . Other times it the three vs Lucy or Ricky maybe Fred .

Ethel has been telling tall tales to the people back in Albuquerque and gets her a lot of attention for a change the others don't like it . Ricky's ego takes a hit and he's jealous. Lucy is initially supportive of Ethel getting attention but grows increasingly irritated, Fred is a bit annoyed but a little amused. They plot to upstage her at the one woman show she will perform in at the local theater ( it was originally meant for all of them) . Indeed things did go to her head a bit much and the comedy bits Lucy, Fred and Ricky do behind her are pretty funny. That said they could have let her have her day but ultimately Ethel gets the last laugh. Still I do enjoy this episode a lot it's one of the most memorable.
