"Lucy Meets The Mustache"

We featured Ernie Kovacs from this same episode last week; his Better Half should get her own showcase as well.  And what a beautiful example it is!

LDCH ended its rather subdued run with of 13-show 1-hour programs on April 1, 1960 with an Ernie Kovacs guest starring show named ‘Lucy Meets the Mustache’. Kovacs wife, Edie Adams, also appeared. In ‘Mustache’ Lucy tries to cheer up Ricky, who is depressed that his career is in the toilet, by getting him booked on Kovacs' TV show. Kovacs, of course, is put off by her antics which lead to several ‘misunderstandings’ and result in him refusing to see her. To gain access, Lucy convinces Adams to let her replace their driver, who gets the day off.  Ricky and Kovacs meet on the commuter train to Connecticut that night and Lucy now has to give them both a ride home. That ride turns out to be for the weekend as Adams spills the beans on Lucy during a high-tech call on the car phone. Ricky and Kovacs give Lucy a hard time until they ‘spill’ the beans on her and all is well, including Ricky getting a slot on Kovacs' show. At the end, Lucy and Ricky embrace and kiss, thus signaling the final shot in their 9-year TV run together.
