Lucy In Drag Is Never Funny
kgraovac18 October 2023
This episode is most notable for the character actors who appear. Leon Ames filmed this just before he began his stint as MISTER ED's new neighbor when the Addisons left the show. Jackie Coogan began his 2-year stint as Uncle Fester on THE ADDAMS FAMILY the following year, and Stephen Talbot had been a semi-regular on the recently ended LEAVE IT TO BEAVER.

I always disliked the episodes with Lucy in male drag or when she infiltrates a male-dominated environment. Especially when she tries to disguise herself and blend in --- yet the bright red lipstick and nail polish remain! In the final scene when she has the helmet on, the resemblance to Debra Messing is uncanny.

Three stars for the character actors and for the cuteness of Lucy placing Jerry's photos all over the living room because she misses him. Jimmy Garrett's mother must have brought her big purse to the set that day to carry everything in for the prop guy to display.
