'60s Lucy on the Assembly Line
kgraovac16 November 2023
A brash efficiency expert audits the bank's practices, making Lucy his assistant and berating Mooney at every opportunity.

Your enjoyment of this episode will depend on whether or not you can tolerate Phil Silvers' over-the-top persona and constant but insincere "Gladaseeya!" exclamations.

The big block scene is a rip-off of the iconic candy sequence from I LOVE LUCY's "Job Switching" episode, but here we substitute toys for chocolates. If the original wasn't such a Lucy hallmark, the scene would be funnier - but it pales in comparison, and Lucy doing it all by herself with Silvers barking orders just goes to show how much Vivian is missed.

There is a scene at the end that is both sweet and unique, where Lucy and Mooney are genuinely grateful for having each other back.

This is an average episode like so many of this era.
