This or That, Day 25
6Well yesterday was a bit of a back and forth squeaker until the Simpsons made a run of it and never looked back.
Marge Simpson as Wonder Woman (or was it Wonder Woman as Marge Simpson?) was…ummm, interesting…
…but I think Joel Gray as a Korean Sinanju master takes the cake. I mean, that made about as much sense as a baby Kung Fu master, and we all know that can’t happen.
Anyway, the family theme was a good start to the week and I actually mixed things up a bit for today as a result. Today, we go back a little further to the good ol’ days of black & white TV. Now for me that was high school, but I’m actually not that old, just had a deprived childhood. I mean, why complain about how wonderful something would look in color? Just get a color TV for crying out loud! Sorry, PTTVQD (Post Traumatic TV Quality Disorder), but I’m taking meds for it now.
So today’s choice is between
I Love Lucy
Or the Honeymooners
And yes, I have looked at the most likely WW entries and let me say that it is, well, disturbing. So please, someone save us!

Honeymooners - quickly!
@stolicat
@ybmuG cool. I’m out.
I Love Lucy and apparently so does WW, since imitation is the highest form of flattery
I also thought this was cute or maybe a little creepy?!?!?
@tinamarie1974 Ooohhh - much better than the one I found. I’ll take that one!
@ybmuG well now I am curious…
@tinamarie1974 search “Lucille Ball wonder woman”. The picture is actually labeled “Lucille Ball Super Woman”
@tinamarie1974 @ybmuG
This?
@RiotDemon @tinamarie1974
@RiotDemon @ybmuG oh the horror
@tinamarie But, it’s a good caricature, no?

Gotta say, I LOVE me some LUCY.
Is this it?
Lucille Ball playing WW in a Supergirl outfit
@Mehrocco_Mole Nice one, but not even close. It was the only actual Lucy/WW pic I found, even if it was mislabeled. BTW, I used Google.
@ybmuG You aren’t referring to those badly Photoshopped nude pics are you?
@Mehrocco_Mole hahahaha, no.
@Mehrocco_Mole Come on, we ALL know she’s dressed up as Superman after promising Little Ricky that Superman would come to his birthday party, and currently trapped on a window ledge after someone closed a window from which she was planning on “flying” into the room,as one does. No Wonder Woman, no Supergirl. Just a middle-aged woman in a football helmet on a window ledge.
LUCY, Lucy, Lucy!
So, anyway, yeah, Lucy all the way! I am constantly mildly surprised and disappointed that the internet is not wall-to-wall I Love Lucy gifs.
They were both before my time for when they aired originally, but I actually remember watching I Love Lucy reruns when I was a kid/young teen. It was good.
@thismyusername of course, Scully is a role model for us all!
@thismyusername Hey - we had that vacuum when I was a kid! (It was old then, really). We also had a desk like that… a couch like…hey, where is this?
@thismyusername @ybmuG So is it really ybmuG or ykciR?
@ybmuG it is from a magazine spread from US Magazine in 1997… it is not her portraying media
I think we ALL Love Lucy!
Frankly, both shows made me cringe…
Lucy for sure!

Well, to defend my lone vote, Audrey Meadows
As a kid watching “I Love Lucy” reruns, I remember being creeped out that Ethyl was (seemingly) married to her grandpa. If for no other reason, my vote goes to “The Honeymooners”.
Even at a young age, I noticed the diametrically opposite composition of Ralph and Ricky.
Ralph is short-tempered, slovenly buffoon that has a smart, level-headed wife that is out of his league in term of attractiveness. He has every reason in the world to worship the ground she walks on, yet he constantly threatens to “send her to the moon” at the slightest provocation. (and yes, I know that deep down he loves her) Ricky is a handsome, successful man that could have his pick of hundreds of women, yet he loves this bat-guano crazy lady for no apparent reason.
