Wow. This is good. High quality fun sponsored by a low-quality product. Desi is kinda sexy. Lucy is rather cute. The show itself is charming.
BUT THOSE COMMERCIALS ARE STINKY!

This gets an automatic 5-Stars from me just for the fact of having Samuel J. Seymour in it! Who would have thought someone who saw Lincoln get shot would still be around when this show was shot? On top of that - they knew who they had! It is worth 5-Stars just to see a bit of living history.

The IGAS Website says this episode aired Feb. 8th, 1956. Some interesting bits: Lucy and Desi without a script. Desi plays a trick on Lucy here.
Lucy has some tricks of her own, too.

Also, one of the other contestants, Samuel J. Seymour, who was 96 at the time, was the last surviving person to see Abe Lincoln shot.

Also, you can see Garry Moore do a "live" commercial for Winston and there's also a film commercial for Winston Cigarettes.

At the end, you'll see Phil Silvers do a promo for his own TV show, Sgt. Bilko.

The 50's clothes are an amazing sight.

I give it 4 stars because of it's age and unique glimpse of a day in the life of 7 people captured on TV in 1956.
