Same Tried Tropes, Over and Over

Harry needs a gimmick to compete with a rival agency, so Lucy gets Rich Little -- whom Kim is dating -- to provide celebrity voices, while passing them off as the real thing to an unsuspecting Harry.

This episode is another weak one. Lucy trots out her tired "little old lady" routine again. When that doesn't get her access to the movie studio, she does a phone-booth quick-change with an inflatable fat suit. I wonder if she based that characterization on Barbara Morrison, who played uppity overweight ladies in several LUCY episodes.

The dumbest part is when Lucy tries to convince Harry he has "Peeper Poopers". Yes -- yet another episode where the writers try and wring humor from Harry's non-existent eye troubles.

Little does fine in his impersonations of John Wayne, Jimmy Stewart and Jack Benny, and the real Jack Benny has a cameo.

More lazy writing in the finale, where Harry ends up soaking wet -- AGAIN.
