 SPOTLIGHT ON: "FOR CORN'S SAKE!"Questions, I get questions. Over the years, more than one fan has asked me about the origin of Fred Mertz’s exasperated howl, “Oh, for corn’s sake!” on I Love Lucy. I doubt he’s actually saying it at left (maybe he’s thinking it; that’s William Frawley as Fred, of course, with Vivian Vance as Ethel from a very collectible pre-national TV Guide cover), but you can find out all the details by clicking on the picture or on "What's New?" above. ... LUCY TRIVIA:On May 6, 1957, "The Ricardos Dedicate a Statue" — the final first-run half-hour episode of I Love Lucy — aired. Watch for Desi Arnaz Jr. in the crowd scene at the end, his only appearance on that series, contrary to many who still believe that he was the one who played Little Ricky (that was Keith Thibodeaux). ... Also in May (1945), MGM released one of Lucy's best pictures, the black-and-white Without Love. Ostensibly starring Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn, watch Lucy steal the picture from them (along with co-star Keenan Wynn) every time she walks onscreen. ... Before you leave, make sure you vote in my new Lucy Episode Poll (below)! Talking Television: I had the pleasure of being interviewed by Dave White, host of KSAV's Talking Television, and his cohosts Wes Britton and Ron Turner. To hear the two one-hour interviews, go to www.KSAV.org; click on the Archives link on the left side of the page. Then click on “Talking Television With Dave White”; finally, click on Lucille Ball, Parts 1 and Part 2. My interviews begin about a half hour into each show. I was honored to be invited on the program and, yes, I had a "Ball."
