More Monkeyshines for Lucy and Co.
kgraovac1 January 2024
Lucy appears on the "Milky Way to Riches" TV show, where she is given one week to teach a chimp to do a trick -- and the $1000 prize is hers.

This is a very clunky episode that starts off with Kim trying to convince a skeptical Lucy that horoscopes aren't a bunch of bunk. From there Lucy finds $20 in an overdue library book and wins a dairy prize consisting of free yogurt, before the milkman offers her tickets to the TV show, which gets the plot with the chimp rolling.

Lucy ends up on stilts again but it's not as funny as it was back in 1962 in "Lucy and Her Electric Mattress".

Harry appears in a gorilla suit and Kim acts like a monkey to try and motivate the chimp to do something -- anything -- but neither are successful.

In the finale, the cast performs a Gay Nineties medley on the "Milky Way to Riches" show. It's all terribly underwhelming. 4/10.

**Gale Gordon Cartwheel Alert**
