Yes can we have more
I fell in love with Ann Southern when I was a little boy in the 50's watching these shows. She was my first blonde!
Ann Sothern is so beautiful. I am watching her Maisie movies today which I had never heard of. They're wonderful. She's wonderful in it.
Ann had the most wonderful smile !
And makeup.
Wow, this show just takes off when Lucy shows up. Love seeing her play a vamp, going way over the top. She just lights up the screen.
I love these old sitcoms. Thanks!!!!!!
Thanks really needed to know that
I loved the Ann Sothern Show. Watched the reruns as child. She seemed so sophisticated to me. I wanted to be like her.
Yea, she carried this sophisticated aire-
Big fat deal
Ann Sothern Show, Barbara Stanwyck Show, Loretta Young Show, Jane Wyman Show, Judy Garland Show...
Well......once these iconic Hollywood Film Stars were no longer deemed valuable or young enough to appear on the SilverScreen.....television was the only medium where their dedicated fan base could still see and enjoy them.
Renan C. Maia, And the Mickey Mouse🐭 Show.
My Little Margie, Oh Suzanna
She's so pretty.
I used to love her show. Wish I could find them all.
Thanks for sharing this, Vic!
You are very welcome; i prayed and hope i grew up and married a glamorous mixed up dame as Ann Southern was,,,, only God knows,,. Funny
Married to Robert Sterling, before Anne Jeffreys. One daughter former actress Tisha Sterling.
Yea, A.Sothern wasn't bad looking in her prime, seemed to have run out of vehicles, public tastes change and she put on the weight- -
How fascinating to see Lucy Ricardo on another show, in another context, with perhaps different writers. So many other dimensions come out. They are both brilliant and perfectly suited to each other.
Good grief!!! How inspiring!!! 😂 🤣 🤣
This is the first time I've seen The Ann Southern Show. I saw her in an episode of The Lucy-Desi Comedy Hour. The other show I saw her in was an episode of The Lucy Show. I never knew she had her own show.
This is Ann Southern's 2nd series, her first was a few years before this and was called Private Secretary. As others have pointed out, both of Ms Southern series used many of the same actors even though the settings/situations were completely different. The big constant to both series is that Ms Southern's character had a boss that got into trouble and she always gently extricated him from the consequences.
BTW, both series were produced by Ms Southern's own production company with DesiLu being the studio were this series was shot.
@@howardkerr8174 Ann Sothern was one of the contenders to be Ethel Mertz, as was Bea Benaderet.
@@roxannesantoro7503 Ms. Benaderet was Ms. Balls' first choice for Ethel, fortunately or un- fortunately she was committed to The Burns and Allen show. Las Vegas, NV August 8, 2021
She also did a series of movies name Maisey….very funny!!
THIS was a VERY unique show. Lucy had matured quite well then.
It was the new hairdo.
I really love Lucy her and Ann were great together.
This is What Talent Is
Two favorite comedians. Thank you for posting.
I just loved Ann Southern she was a great actress and very pretty lady
Can't beat the shows from long ago. Thank you Mr. Ritchey for posting and bring back pleasant memories. Las Vegas, NV August 8, 2021
Your Welcome. Glad you enjoyed it.
I love those old shows. They were better than the junk on today. You didn't have to worry about what they said and did.
Wow how insightful. 🤡 🤣
I loved this show when I was a kid. I had a crush on her boss.
I remember watching this with my mother back in the late 60's.
Thanks for uploading this video, the show brings back good memories!!
This has that Desilu stamp of high quality and polished production.
This show is actually really hilarious 😆
She was also the voice of the mother in My Mother the Car.
Likely Lucy voiced the car.
@@JudgeJulieLit WTF ?
@@JudgeJulieLit No, Ms. Southern voiced, My Mother The Car with Jerry Van Dyke. Las Vegas, NV August 8, 2021
@@YOGI-yl4ff You're right. *Sothern
"My Mother The Car" was the WORST TV SERIES EVER!!!
I loved this show when I was a kid. Thought an Northern was so pretty.....and she was.!
Co labs the way to go. I did not look at this program much @ 8 years old but its great to get into it now. Thanks for posting c];-D
Loved Ann Southern. She was great in the movies and her series of Maisy movies during WWII were fun! Off course when Viv left the "Lucy Show" Ann replaced her as the countess.

This episode is a rare treat, because we get to see Lucille Ball as guest star, playing the character of Lucy Ricardo. It’s noteworthy that Ann Sothern guest starred in an episode of “I Love Lucy.” This show was filmed by Desilu®. Although Desi Arnaz was credited as Executive Producer, “The Ann Sothern Show” was not a Desilu production. It was, however, produced in association with Desilu.
I don't remember her on "I Love Lucy." I remember her on the first episode of "The Lucy-Desi Comedy Hour," but not "I Love Lucy."
Robert G Gee Boggs, Jr.
You forgot that in the mid 1960s Ann was slated to be Lucy's new co-star on the 'The Lucy Show' when Vivian Vance quit.
After filming 4 episodes, Ann was dropped from the series.
Keith Evers
The Lucy-Desi Comedy Hour is the exact same show as I Love Lucy, one is half an hour and the other is a full hour.
Wikipedia says Southern was co owner of Desilu
Ann Sothern was Not ever intended to take Vivian Vance' place on The Lucy Show. She was just intended to be a guest for a few episodes...
Lucy also played the friend of Ann Sothern’s earlier character, Susie MacNamara, on the series, “Private Secretary”, and the first episode of “The Lucy-Desi Comedy Hour”.
Bless your heart ! Thank you ! I loved this show
just love it, love it to death,Thank you for sharing this
I saw that show at the age of 12. It was entertaining. It was already off the network before I discovered the series.
I love all the old "Maisie" movies.MGM should have made much better use of her talents
Ms Southern was also a very respected stage actress so it is possible that she didn't have the time to devote to movies.
Oh my goodness I never new this existed love it . Thank you sooooo much
Fat deal
"...two kids and a beagle. _Beautiful_ beagle!"
The conversation between Ann Southern and Lucile Ricardo was sounding like ppl will meet after Corona ends!!! I was meaning to invite you for the last five years😂😁🤣
Wow!
I still love it!
Thanks so much for posting this!!
Recorded on late June/early July 1995 (during Nick at Nite's 10th Anniversary celebration week). See 12:16 for screen bug.
Wow you got a lot thumbs up is awesome my friends
I never heard of this show, 👌🌟🌟🌟
You must be young. A lot of great shows were on television from the early 1950's on. Las Vegas, NV August 8, 2021
This was on TV in Australia back in the day.
☝🏻👶🏻DATS BECAUSE YOURE STUPID
I remember watching Susie and I loved her. As an "only" child, TV was my friend... I am TRULY a child of the '50s! Later, Susie came on after school, along with reruns of I Love Lucy. It is so vivid in my mind: American Bandstand and the Mickey Mouse Club after school, then later, I Love Lucy and Susie. I also remember seeing a royal wedding, it must have been Princess Margaret's. When I was home sick, I'd watch the Tennessee Ernie Ford Show and Lucy ( she was ALWAYS on, like Law and Order is now! haha).I also loved The Honeymooners and Amos and Andy. And the commercials! I remember big bags of dancing potato chips (Buckeye potato chips,Buckeye potato chips get 'em at your grocer todayyyyyy! haha) And dancing packs of cigarettes! Even in selling ciggies, they used SEX, because SEX SELLS! Hey, remember the Hit Parade? And My parents liked Midwestern Hayride for the dancing ( could have been regional) yes, my parents were Black hillbillies! hahaha We watched Gunsmoke, Have Gun Will Travel, Wanted Dead or Alive and Dragnet as a family. Also Sid Caesar and Milton "Uncle Milty" Berle. Those were the days my friend... I thought they'd never end. But they did OH BROTHER did they END!
1959 and wasn't going to get married just because that was what was expected of her. Talk about way ahead of her time!!!
I never seen that show before but that's good and funny I've seen her in private secretary though.
Shades of "Lucy and Ann get drunk" scene from "The Lucy Show, Lucy and the Countess".
I used to look at this as a kid
these two repeated this same skit on The Lucy & Desi Comedy hour and on The Lucy Show during the third season.
This episode reminds me of how unfair it is that the word bachelor (a man who's never been married) sounds cool, but the word spinster (a woman who's never been married) sounds pathetic.
Actually during that period of time in America in certain society forums, it was quit unheard of for a woman to be unmarried at a certain age. OH! She wasn't an outcast, but it was a thing to be married by a certain period and have obtained certain status by a point. See MEN did most of the work then. Single parent wasn't a wholesale name then.
@@Buisness1 I think in the fifties the pressure was on for a woman to marry by the time they were 21. It was very young. It got less so in the sixties, but the fifties were all about being married to feel worth anything and ASAP..
@@m.e.d.7997 it was so a very good time to live as well. A lot more culture and tradition. A lot less single parenting and mother's with 6 children by various men. Where I was rears we didn't have such mess going on. No welfare and govt. Just good work, school military etc.
@@Buisness1 Yeah it was, but many women that married that young ended up in unhappy marriages, true for the men too.
Margaret
I got married at 22 and my husband was 21. We are very blessed to still be going strong after 30 years. Like anything in life, you have to work hard, and dedication. You both have to desire to have a good and healthy marriage.. It extremely hard when only one person is committed and trying and the other has either given up, or has taken the marriage for granted.
The hotel room appears to be a redress of the Ricardo apartment
This series was shot at the DesiLu studio, so it may have been the same basic sets.
Thanks for the information, Vic. Happy Thanksgiving!!!
Lucy looks like Barbara Billingsly in the episode :-)
That really did express how unhappy Lucy was in her marriage to Desi at that time! They would divorce not too long after this episode (well, the following year, but close enough). ;)
They both worked for MGM in the glory days of MGM.
With the late Betty White taken from us, I just wanted to see some her contemporaries. Love Lucy, Ann and Eve Arden. In the 30s Ann was quite the Glamour Girl and Fashionista.
Ah for the times when women dressed in good taste -
Yes....and the men, too, dressed better than the childish male slobs that exist in 2018...
Yea, man, still dressed as women-
Beautiful women back in the day. !!
Ann also appeared in an episode of I Love Lucy
This man is Lucy's real cousin in real life that she's pretending to flirt with
Ann Sothern and Ann Tyrell equals Lucille Ball and Vivian Vance .
Awesome
Lucy said Ricky was a Latin, I don't think that's correct. I never saw this show before, did it do good? I love being able to go back in time, even 1 half an hour, at a time, it's still a nice little trip to take. ThankYou.
That's the term they used in those days to connote anyone from a Spanish or Portuguese-speaking background. What did you think it meant, that he was an Ancient Roman?
LOL!
@Jaymes Guy - oy!
Cuban is Latin/Latino.
Carol Napolitano It did v well! Was v popular.
Ricky was Cuban, and spoke Spanish
Ann's name was really Harriet Lake, and I thought there's absolutely nothing wrong with that name on a billboard or marquis. But nothing succeeds like success... she knew what she was doing.
Rhonda Flemings real name was Marilyn Lewis. I guess her real name did not express her flaming red hair . i can not explain Harriet Lake for Ann Sothern however .
Ann Sothern and Lucy were good friends, personally and professionally. Ann's first series was Private Secretary that did well in the ratings. But she clashed with producer Jack Chertok and quit that show.
Keep mas episodios de Lucille Ball and Ann Sothern, please.
Keep this on RUclips, please!
Remind me of my sister
And Southern was a stunning woman.
Don't really remember these shows. Great to see this one with Lucy.
Wasn't Ann Southern The voice of the mother speaking through the car on my mother the car?
Yes she was the reincarnated mother whose voice was played through the car radio. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/My_Mother_the_Car
Lucy’s got some splaining to do!
Wonder why they had to edit out the famous Desilu animated script logo at the end? I thought Viacom owned all Desilu content syndication rights. Guess there are exceptions...
Wonder if it had anything to do with Lucy and Desi's troubled marriage? I think they divorced in 1960.
Yes, their marriage was unraveling at the time. The week before, their first "WESTINGHOUSE LUCILLE BALL-DESI ARNAZ SHOW" special {aka "THE LUCY-DESI COMEDY HOUR"} was telecast (with Milton Berle as guest star)....and there was tension on the set, even then. Desi, who directed that episode, wanted to film a certain scene again, and Berle is whining, "Aw, come on, Des....". Lucy insists, "No, we are NOT going to do it again!". "Come on", Desi insisted. "We do it ONE MORE TIME....". They did......
Ann Sothern /Paramount sold the series to Metromedia now 20th Century Fox owned Ann Sothern Show.Paramount/CBS Entertainment don't own rights to the show.That's why Desilu logo is blacked out.
CBS purchased the rights only to “I Love Lucy,” but not all Desilu material. This episode of “The Ann Sothern Show,” although filmed by and in association with Desilu Studios, was not a Desilu Production. The animated script logotype was displayed in still form on productions filmed by Desilu. Later, a different version of the Desilu animation was done in color and can still be seen on episodes of “Star Trek” season 1.
Damn enough sleeping pills for Lucy to sleep until the 23rd century 😄😄🤣🤣😂😂
Spinster implies a much older woman who has never married.
Perhaps Bachelorette would have been more appropriate in this case.
Ricky ricardo
The original cross over
Oh my god she ruffied Lucy!!!! She mixed sleeping pills with booze holy cow!
I make it 550 👍
Aren't they cousins in real life and she's playing a part of flirting with her own cousin on tv
If you are referring to Don Porter (Mr. Devery) where Lucy is flirting with him to make Katy (Ann Sothern) jealous; the answer is No. Lucy and Don Porter are not cousins.
You can in Europe to this day
Where's Fred & Ethel?
Very VERY dated
The plot is irritating. Two women spending an entire episode of two jealous women drinking from the same saucer of cream. Insulting.
Linda Terrell
Yeah, the show was canceled soon after. This show had a premise change and it went from 'Susie' Private Secretary to The Ann Sothern Show in which she suddenly was wearing furs and Paris haute couture outfits.
Mamadou Aziza
I read that she had a disagreement and left the show so there was no where to go but cancellation. She ended up in furs, etc. on the updated show because they were supposed to be running a very posh hotel
Linda Terrell
well, the change in the show sucked and the audience preferred her as Susie and not this Park Avenue Princess.
@@mamadouaziza2536
This show was cancelled because it was scheduled against a ratings powerhouse, it actually did okay it's first season when it was scheduled after the Danny Thomas Show.
@@mamadouaziza2536 nothing wrong with furs, but yea, only to a very select audience
The canned laughter is sickening...
This show was filmed with a live audience, the "canned laughter" was added as an enhancement.
Is she playing the Countess Here? I don’t get it.
