      Though the mirror routine seems perfect, Lucy does make one error: she honks the horn with the wrong hand.
    • Quotes

      Lucy Ricardo: I was just trying to see if I was real near-sighted if maybe you couldn't pass for Marilyn Monroe.

      Ethel Mertz: Yeah?

      Lucy Ricardo: Oh, no. Nobody's that near-sighted.

    Funny and well done. I won't go into it because it's one of the most famous episodes ever. The Harpo/ Lucy bit is at least but the other scenes work very well too.

    One thing that always stands out and the Hollywood episodes with Caroline in them is she's kind of ditzy, suddenly wears glasses and is a little nicer and sweeter than usual. Maybe she's just star struck and feels like being nicer to Lucy. Maybe it's different writers? No matter I like her more in these episodes.
