Re: Being the Ricardos
Thanks, Scott. No offense taken. I agree, it’s hard to understand why the staff of a 1950’s sitcom would have any reason to talk about firewalls, unless the episode was “Lucy Flies a DC-4”…

Re: Being the Ricardos

Recreations of the "truly missing" Suspense episodes
I was reviewing the "truly missing" Suspense -- the ones that were performed just once on the series. I have scripts of one sort or another for each of them. It would be great if we could get them all
