The most fervent I Love Lucy fans may cite, as a favorite, the first episode on this tape, "Job Switching," in which Lucy and Ethel challenge Ricky and Fred to a domestic role reversal. As the men toil as homemakers, Lucy and Ethel find work at a candy factory. When the shop supervisor explains the process of making and packaging the candy, it seems simple enough, but the conveyor belt isn't working in the gals' favor. Hilarious hijinks ensue. Also on this tape is "Lucy Meets Bob Hope." By the time this episode (number 154) appeared, Lucy Ricardo's reputation as a star-seeker and inadvertent troublemaker had preceded her. So when Ricky hopes that Bob will appear at the opening of his new club, Lucy sets out to smooth things over with the celebrity. Knowing Lucy, misunderstandings abound, but this time they work in her favor. This second episode is also notable because it reunites Ball and Hope, who starred together in such movies as Sorrowful Jones and Fancy Pants. --N.F. Mendoza

Customer Reviews of I Love Lucy - Job Switching/Lucy Meets Bob Hope
Funny, Funny, Funny! "I Love Lucy" is one of the funniest shows ever made. This tape captures two great shows, "Job Swithching" & "Lucy Meets Bob Hope." In "Job Swithching," Lucy and Ethel switch places with their husbands and do their work. They work in a chocolate factory where one of the funniest moments took place. The second show, "Lucy Meets Bob Hope" is a funny show where Bob Hope is going to be part of Ricky's act. Lucy disguises herself as a hot dog vendor at Yankee Stadium trying to talk to Bob Hope. They get to do an act together in the end.
A Lucy extravaganza, with two only two episodes!
Bob Hope is killer funny throughout the one Lucy about Lucy wanting Bob to appear in Ricky's show trying to convince him that she's not a jynx. And in one of their most popular Lucys, Ethel and Lucy try to bring home the bacon while Ricky and Fred take over the housework. The switch creates a disaster! Two very funny and classic episdoes that you're sure to enjoy!
The funniest "I Love Lucy" episode is on THIS tape
"Job Switching" (Episode #36, September 15, 1952), is the classic episode of "I Love Lucy" that I always show to my television classes so they know what a classic sit com looks like. Ricky is tired of the way Lucy spends money without regard for where it comes from, so the boys and girls switch places: Lucy and Ethel will get jobs and Ricky and Fred will do the household chores. One of the greatest moments in television history comes when Lucy and Ethel have to work a conveyor belt in a candy factory. Elvia Allman is the supervisor ("Let 'er roll!") and Amanda Milligan, an actual candy dipper at the Farmer's Market in Hollywood is, uh, the candy dipper. Meanwhile, Ricky is ironing stockings and making rice while Fred bakes a cake. Note: The bit Lucy and Ethel do at the job placement service with Alvin Hurwitz is lifted from the two sisters in "Mr. Deeds Goes to Town."
"Lucy and Bob Hope" (#154, October 1, 1956), was the sixth season premier episode. Ricky has finally managed to buy a controlling interest in the Tropicana club, which he proudly re-names Club Babalu. Bob Hope has agreed to perform at the opening, but Ricky keeps this little tidbit from Lucy, afraid she will mess things up. Lucy, worried that Hope will not agree because of her fabled troubles with celebrities, tracks him down at Yankee Stadium to persuade him to do the show. Although a meeting between two of all-time great comedians, this ends up being a fairly average "I Love Lucy" episode. Certainly, it is not an absolute classic like "Job Switching."
