Black wig episode

Warning: Spoilers
This is a strange and very dated episode. Strange because honestly Lucy doesn't look as different as they try to portray. I know it has to be exaggerated but it feels a little forced.

Dated because of Ricky dictating Lucy's hairstyle. Honestly she would have looked not drastically than one of her later hairstyles especially with her signature red hair. Of course at that point they weren't going to change her signature style so this is more about Lucy putting Ricky to the test than anything else.

Most of the laughs in this episode come from Fred and Ethel. Fred recognizing Ethel in her disguise, Ethel not wanting to show just how many different styles her costume has!

It's still fairly funny but not a classic.
