The big cheese
kellielulu18 January 2023
Warning: Spoilers
Lucy can't get a 25 pound hunk of cheese on the plane without it costing a lot so naturally she dresses it up as a baby!

The whole thing is hilarious! From Ricky's reaction to the nosey but understandably concerned woman sitting next to her and all the ways Lucy tries to pretend the cheese is a baby including drinking from a baby bottle herself , "he hates to drink alone ! She tells the other lady with and infant daughter of her own. The baby or is it cheese disappears! Only Ethel and Lucy know how at first. When the pilot asks Ricky if he didn't find Lucy dressing up the cheese as a baby odd behavior Ricky's response is classic " for Lucy? No ." lol. But promises he intended to pay for the cheese . Eventually it all comes out in an unexpected way . First rate episode that has Lucy's best intentions and limited ways to hide the cheese showing even on a plane Lucy will figure it out.

This Episode Contains My All Time Favorite Line

What can you say about this final episode of the big trip to Europe?? Top notch from start to finish, you can't even imagine the trickery of Lucy trying to figure out how to get that beautiful big piece of cheese home on the plane without going through expensive customs. So of course that cheese is going to be disguised as a well wrapped baby. The constant attempts at Lucy's seatmate to get a glimpse of the fake baby is the stuff of legend. Feeding the baby? Oh poor Lucy must try to partake that whole bottle. And when the whole fiasco blows up in Lucy's face, here comes Ricky: "I AM NOT THE FATHER OF THAT CHEESE!" well you could just roll on the floor forever at that one. Fantastic episode.

Underrated classic episode

The writers really excelled at these travel episodes always giving Lucy a unique challenge .

Lucy's mother sends a cable for Ricky through the regular mail! As a result they must fly back to America instead of sailing back ( where the band plays for the cost) . Now Ricky has to pay for it all! He is to appear at the Roxy soon .

Problem? Lucy can't take a special kind of cheese home to her mother on the plane because it weighs too much ( 25 pounds!) Naturally Lucy dresses it up as a baby! But all that backfires on Lucy too . Next time Lucy buy your mother some jewelry instead! Lucy finds out that babies don't fly for free overseas. How to deal with that situation also leads to another problem for Lucy and Ethel. Ricky "I am not the father of that cheese !"

Lucy drinks out of another passengers baby bottle " he hates to drink alone !" First rate comedy and endlessly entertaining .

Mary Jane Croft is memorable as the mother of an infant daughter sitting next to Lucy and Frank Nelson making another memorable appearance.
