In January 2009, the classic sitcom “I Love Lucy” will no longer air on TV Land. I’d be somewhat distressed over this, but luckily The Hallmark Channel is picking it up. I have cable, so I don’t care what channel airs it, just that it’s still on. “I Love Lucy” has been on the air somewhere since 1951.

One of the most well-known episodes of “I Love Lucy” is the 1952 episode called “Job Switching”. This episode features the famous scene where Lucy and Ethel work at a candy factory. Did you know the candy maker who works with Lucy in that scene (and subsequently throws chocolate in her face) was not an actress but a real candy maker from See’s Candies? The producers of “I Love Lucy” were known for their attention to detail and they wanted to get the chocolate-dipping scene just right!
