Hello, Ricky?

It’s a standard yet hilarious formula.  Lucy wants something.  Ricky says no.  The determined redhead nags, tricks, and sweet-talks her husband until he finally gives in.  Whether she is begging him to let her perform at his club, or asking him to conduct an “all-girls” orchestra for a fund-raiser, the outcome is usually the same.  Ricky will pitch a fit (usually in Spanish), the crisis will be resolved, and the lovebirds’ life returns to normal-but only until the next episode!
