HOME VIDEO REVIEW: "I LOVE LUCY" - BLU-RAY
The complete series finally gets some HD love but it's a mixed bag.
"Ricky" is a 1983 song by American parody artist "Weird Al" Yankovic, duetting with voice actress #TressMacNeille. It is a parody of the 1982 song "#Mickey" by #ToniBasil, which itself, is a cover of #MikeChapman and #NickyChinn's "Kitty" recorded by #Racey. The song focuses on #LucyAndRickyRicardo in 1950's #sitcom #ILoveLucy, and their general discussions and hobbies within the show. "Ricky" was one of the last two tracks added to ""Weird Al" Yankovic".

A bit of TV history: #OnThisDay in 1953, 73.9% of TV viewers in the US watched the "Lucy Goes to the Hospital" episode of the I Love Lucy TV show.
"When the episode premiered [...], 73.9% of all American homes with television sets tuned in, amounting to 44 million viewers watching the episode, a record until September 9, 1956, when Elvis Presley appeared for the first time on The Ed Sullivan Show, at CBS, which drew a share of 82.6%, a figure unrivaled since. It received higher ratings than the inauguration of President Dwight D. Eisenhower, which received 29 million viewers, the day afterward."
