Did "I Love Lucy" move permanently from New York to Los Angeles on the show?
stonej
episode where Ricky and the gang
took a trip from New York to Los Angeles (singing "California here I
come" in the car while
they were leaving was a nice touch). :) Ricky was going there to
meet someone about a big
showbiz deal of some kind and all the episodes I've seen after that
still have them in Los Angeles.
Was this a multi part episode of them in LA or did they leave New York
for good?

Just a multi-part episode in LA and an excuse to have a lot of
Hollywood stars guest on the show, with Lucy and Ethel fawning all
over them.
Billy Crystal had a gimmick where he mimiced some old actor who said
"marvelous" a lot. I never knew who the actor was (nor liked the
skit) until he was one of Lucy's guests.
Toward the end of the show the family moved to "the country" to a big
house in Connecticut. The show then became a series of hourly
specials. Lucy and Desi were headed for their marital breakup and the
show ended for good.
Interestingly, Ricky never complained about the long commute he had to
the club, nor did Fred about coming out. The show sort of glossed
over those pesky real-life details.
The apt in NYC was modest, affordable by middleclass standards, but
the Connecticut house and land would've been quite expensive, even in
the 1950s. Today a big spread like that could be over $10 million.
Their little brownstone apt, if in a good neighborhood, might be worth
$500k today.

Yeah, pretty much, but at least they got some guests who never did TV.
John Wayne, for one.

The Ricardos moved to Connecticut because the show was dying. Nothing
changed very much, except for the hardly mentioned turnabout bit about
how the Ricardos were now the Mertzes' landlords. The series later
became a series of occasional specials, which those of a certain age
remember better as a weekly series of summer reruns. I'm not a big "I
Love Lucy" fan, but the hour-long crossover show with the Danny Thomas
cast is one of the funniest hours of TV there is.

The Ricardos lived at 625 East 68th Street in Manhattan. There are no
apartment buildings there -- that block is actually part of a hospital
complex -- but that part of Manhattan is very high-priced. The
Ricardos had a one-bedroom walkup in a building with a center court in
a great neighborhood. Five hundred k is probably low.

So didn't the Mertzes own the building they all lived in to start with?
Or were they just managers?

The Mertzes owned and managed the 68th Street building. Fred also
acted as the super. As you can see, the show knew nothing about how
Manhattan real estate works.

Things were a little different in NYC in the early 1950s.

So what happened that he ended up being Ricky's tenant?

The Mertzes didn't exactly become the Ricardo's "tenants". Rather,
sometimes they stayed in the guest house, sometimes they took the
train, or drive up from NYC. They more or less left those details out
of the plot; the Mertzes were just there; usually Fred out with Ricky
while Lucy and Ethel cooked up a scheme.
There was one episode where the Mertzes pretended to be the Ricardo's
"couple", e.g. maid and butler, to impress some fancy neighbors.
BTW, ever notice how Miley and Lily are a modern day Lucy and Ethel?

Well, when Ricky and Lucy decided to go house hunting, they found one
in CT. They moved and quickly missed Fred and Ethel and in return Fred
and Ethel missed Ricky and Lucy. So since the Ricardos had a little
guest cottage on the property, F&E moved in. The show really sucked at
that point. lol Think final season of 'Happy Days' when Fonzie adopted
that little boy (Danny Ponce). As if having lived through Crystal
Bernard's performances wasn't bad enough!
Now here's a good question: Did Fred and Ethel SELL the apartment
building when they moved to CT, or did they just hire a new super?
They'd be pretty rich if they sold it. If they kept it and moved,
they'd have to pay a super and they'd have to still pay Ricky and Lucy
rent.

needed a hired man, who could help out with that and live in the guest
house. Fred and Ethel wound up taking the job and moving into the guest
house (of course, after an episode or two, this working arrangement was
never mentioned again). As for the apartment house, it was explained that
Mrs. Trumbull - the lady who used to frequently babysit little Ricky when
the Ricardos lived back in New York - had a sister who moved into the
Mertzes' old apartment and took over as manager.

There's a to-do in an early transition episode where Fred makes a big
deal out of having to pay Ricky rent, and Ricky laughs and says he's
not going to charge him much. It's very quick and, really, they didn't
revisit the new relationship very often; I guess it lacked laughs.
Since Fred and Ethel are always in Connecticut, even for breakfast, I
think we were supposed to assume they'd moved there along with the
Ricardos.

What we knew as "The Lucy-Desi Comedy Hour" was recut into two-part
half-hour installments of a series called "We Love Lucy." The episodes
have been drastically cut for time. I don't think "We Love Lucy" is
running anywhere right now.
Even "I Love Lucy" itself doesn't seem to be running all over the place
anymore. My TiVo shows episodes running in L.A. and on TV Land, but
not in DC or New York.

And Sir Cedric Hardwicke. They had Harpo Marx in at least one

on TV.

That was completely realistic, wasn't it? Workers in New York have
been commuting to the far suburbs by train for quite a few decades
now.

Didn't he own the nightclub? Between owning and performing in it, he
would have made a pretty good living and been well able to afford a
country place.

John Wayne did Laugh-In.
The guests they had were sort of playing themselves as celebrities,
not exactly playing a fictional part.

Before WW II, only a small minority of workers commuted by train into
the city; the vast majority lived closer and walked, or used local
transit. Suburbs were mostly for the wealthy and those serving the
wealthy. After WW II the suburbs were aggressively developed (e.g.
Levittown) and commuting exploded. One explanation for the Conn.
house was that Ricky & Lucy were following what many of their viewers
were doing--moving out of the city.

I think they were vague on that, sometimes implying he was the owner,
sometimes implying he was a key employee. There were often storylines
where Ricky had to impress a very important person for his career, and
of course Lucy got in the way.
I Love Lucy wasn't exactly the kind of show to develop a "canon" as
certain details were fuzzy and changed as circumstances required. The
average viewer didn't notice nor care about those details over time.
Remember their apartment had a solid wall that was also a windowed
wall (I don't know which came first). While Ricky often yelled at
Lucy about money, they seemed to be pretty comfortable. Going to
Europe in those years was not cheap.
William George Ferguson
Well, there were some good bits of schtick and an occaisonal good episode
after that. I really liked the first of the hour episodes telling how Lucy
and Ricky met. Three working women, Lucy McGillicudy, Ethel Potter, and
Susan McNamara (Ann Sothern as her 'Private Secretary' character) take a
cruise to Havana and pretend to be rich heiresses in an attempt to land
rich husbands, and run into three eligible men (Arnaz, Frawley, and Cesar
Romero) who are pretending to be rich bachelors to try to land rich wives.

They weren't vague on this - Ricky worked as an employee in the nightclub
during the first five seasons, then he bought it at the beginning of the
sixth season.

Actually, I think they were quite good with continuity - only five writers
contributed to the entire six-year run, which is pretty incredible by
today's standards. As for the window: that was the plot of an episode. The
Ricardos originally lived in a one bedroom apartment (without living room
window). After their son was born, Lucy schemed to switch apartments with
the lady downstairs - she had a second bedroom and a window in the living
room (other than that, the apartments were identical). Ricky, of course,
didn't want to pay the extra rent on a bigger apartment, but he eventually
gave in.

Yes, he did -- fifteen years or so later. He never did TV at the time
we're talking about. He rather famously turned down the lead in
Gunsmoke, although he generously did an ad promoting the show, and Jim
Arness as Matt Dillon.

Not exactly, as you say, but I think that almost had to have been the
point. They had Richard Widmark and William Holden in that Hollywood
arc, too, and they never did TV.

No, for the first two-three post NY episodes, Fred and Ethel still lived in
NYC. Then when Ricky gets the idea to run a chicken farm, he puts an ad in
the paper looking for people with experience. Lo and behold, look who
applies and then moves into the guesthouse--Fred and Ethel.

Well, it's one that is deeply ingrained in the national consciousness.
There's enough truth about it, that it's hardly the worst urban legend
to believe in. Clearly, if the producers had thought there was any
chance that Wayne would have taken the job, they would have offered it
to him.
It's like the one about Clark Gable and the decline of the undershirt:
it seems like it ought to be true, even though it isn't.
