A watershed moment for the series.

Warning: Spoilers
Lucy's feeling blah so she decides to visit her doctor, giving Ethel suspicion that the stork is visiting. Lucy poo poo's the suggestion, but when she comes home, it's obvious that the doctor has proved her wrong. Unfortunately, Ricky is having problems at the club which means that Lucy never gets to tell him, so she has to come up with a clever way of revealing to him during the show that they are going to have a baby.

As usual with all the Tropicana nightclub sequences, Ricky has a big musical number, singing the Spanish standard "Granada", and that leads into him going around to various tables which leads to Lucy's surprise announcement. This episode isn't memorable on the last scale but certainly is on an emotional scale, building up from Lucy's frustration of on being unable to tell Ricky, to his sudden joyful realization of what's going on. That moment is always utilized in montages from the show, making it one of the most classical clips in TV history.

We're Having a Baby! My Baby and Me!

Classic I Love Lucy episode including the hospital one. This was bold choice because in the 50s things were very conservative and censored. A pregnant woman on TV was risque even though they're married. Anyway, from beginning to end I enjoy this episode. It's quotable alot. And the touching part is Ricky singing My Baby and Me to Lucy. There was a lot of emotions going on from the actors and as characters.
