Season 1, Episode 9
9/10
All that glitters is not fur.
1 August 2020
Warning: Spoilers
Misunderstandings are about when Ricky brings home a fur coat to hide from Lucy For an upcoming dance in his act. Lucy walks in while Ethel is modeling it and begins to think that it is Ricky's present for their anniversary. Fred and Ricky conspire to get the coat back by arranging a robbery, and when Lucy finds out the truth, she decided to teach Ricky a lesson. This episode, back when furs were commonplace and protests probably non-existent, is a far cry from episodes involving minks on Designing Women and Golden Girls 30 years later. Veteran character actor Ben Welden is very funny as an actual burglar who invades the Ricardos while Fred is sneaking up a ladder into their bedroom. A very funny episode where the fur doesn't just fly, it's also sniped.
