JOB SWITCHING is probably the most famous episode of I LOVE LUCY. Ricky is angry because Lucy is forever overdrawn at the bank and his belittlement of her job as a housewife has them make a deal to "change places" for a week, with Ricky taking care of the house and Lucy becoming a working girl. Ethel and Fred join in on the action and while the boys make a mess of things in the kitchen, the girls wreak havoc at a local candy factory, particularly as they attempt to wrap chocolates off a conveyor belt. This scene is the one that makes this episode a classic and Lucille Ball and Vivian Vance are a riot in their attempts to keep up with the belt - or at least hide the evidence to the contrary. The superb character comedienne Elvia Allman (the first of several appearances on various Lucille Ball shows, although they had worked together on radio years before) is also fun in this segment as their no-nonsense supervisor. JOB SWITCHING is an absolute must see for anyone who aims to view all the important programs in television history.
