LUCY @ 100: "WHERE THE HECK ARE WE?" AT THE END

Here are two TV comedy legends, both members of the TV Crossover Hall Of Fame - Jack Benny in the League of Themselves, and Lucy Carmichael, who was inducted along with two other characters created by Lucille Ball (who was inducted herself). And here they recreate one of the classic routines from Jack Benny's old show......

So you can see why I included it - the arrival of the Indians (since I'm also celebrating the TV Western this month.)

And it will be the Toobworld Central position that those really were Indians hired to protect Mr. Benny's new vault; and that they belonged to an Indian tribe found only in Toobworld.

Well, who else would be concerned with making money from show business?

That's right - they were the 1970's generation of Hekawis, who were last seen back in the late 1860's outside Fort Courage in 'F Troop'.

    Great find! I think qualifies as a solid crossover, tying um...whichever show this was (I always get these two Lucy series confused because they were back-to-back) to the F Troop. A fun link for the TVCU and probably the Wold Newton Universe, too...

    Thanks!

    I really enjoyed reading all of your Lucy posts. This one in particular was interesting to me--I never would have made the connection!

    Thank you so much for participating in the Loving Lucy blogathon! You contributed more posts than any other contributor, and they were all quite entertaining. :)

    Thank you, both! It was so much fun to do, that I was afraid it wouldn't be as much fun to read....
