Ricky started to cry in thus scene so did Lucy and Ethel sniffled. They wanted retakes but the audience stood up and shouted "no! no!" even Lucy and Ricky didn't want retakes.
+Jennifer Lorenzo I read in Lucy's autobiography that they did reshoot it, but used the original take instead. I don't think we'll ever see the retake. Unless somebody happened to have a movie camera in the audience. Lol. There is actually behind the scenes color home movie footage of a season 1 episode from an audience member's perspective.
She said it made her think of when she had her first baby, Lucie and all the complications she had, so she became very emotional with her being pregnant again.
It’s obvious the love they had for each other. But Desi had that ‘roaming eye’ that Lucy could not, and did not, ignore. Sad. This scene is heart wrenching.
I don't care how scripted, or prepared this scene was, that was genuine emotion coming from Lucy. The love a man and a women express for one another when a baby is on the way is extraordinary and beautiful. Here, it's forever captured between Desi and Lucy.
I totally agree Matt. No matter how many times I watch this, the tears flow like rain. Lucy was always so transparent, that's what made her so endearing. She wasn't afraid to take people to their most vulnerable places.
Their reaction at the very end was really spontaneous. This is one of those rare moments. The take called for them to do the song and kiss at the end happily but according to Lucy herself as well as Desi Arnaz the whole scene made Lucy tear up, thinking about their troubles having their first birth with baby Lucie. She began to cry and so did Desi prompting that very tender ending. They wanted to re-shoot it but the audience shouted them down and saying it was perfect and so they kept it! et voila-TV History
Tawnya Arns no, she was pregnant during the filming of this episode, but he knew already (her belly was still very prominent, even with their attempts not to film it).
I'm crying my eyes out lol I sang this to my boyfriend after telling him we're having a baby. We swayed in the kitchen and cried. It was beautiful just like this moment captured.
This is my favorite scene in the entire series! They were so in love, the way they looked at each other and how Lucille shyly cried was so beautiful. Can you imagine watching your parents so in love and holding each other so tight, what a privilege to have that on film.
I have been binge watching I love Lucy for like a week now . Last night my 20 year old sat and watched a couple of episodes with me and now he is addicted to it. He says it was funnier that the mess that comes on tv now a days. And he always comments how BEAUTIFUL Lucy is
The most touching scene ever! Especially, when we know the story of the struggles of Lucy & Desi ! Lucy was not acting here, She was shedding genuine, joyful tears! Ricky's reaction is so priceless! This is how ALL pregnancies should be regarded respected & loved ,especially today. ,& regardless of the prevailing circumstances of life! This scene is even more stunning , watching it & looking back, today! We are reminded of the 2 marvelous children that Desi.& Lucy had & how they went on to do marvelous things in the world,in spite of the adversity of life! "I LOVE LUCY" was & is an outstanding example of real life! May it go on forever! Thanks so much for sharing it with us!
I love this episode too. I still cry when they rerun it. I cried watching it again today, I played this for my granddaughter. turns out I am going to be a GREAT Grandmother!
@@priscillajimenez27 their daughter said when he bought RK studios he was under stress and didn't have time to come home to family , then she found out to take out stress he used to get drunk and other women around his arms, so I guess that was a wrong decision on his part, he should have just got rid studios if he couldn't manage it, making more money was making them emotionally miserable.
I remember reading somewhere that this episode was controversial even mentioning that she was going to become a mother because no one had done that on television before. Lucy was the first woman on television to do a lot of groundbreaking things. She was definitely a treasure.
@@r.godfrey5231actually it wasn't her idea it was the producers, Lucy and Desi had thought , that was it and both of them were quite happy to finish ,ILL as children were important to both of them .Jess Oppenheimer, was determined not to lose this huge show watched by 50 million people every week, so he thought what the heck, they would try. tbh, the biggest reason the sensors let it happen was the fact that Lucy and Desi were married in real life, other wise the Story line would maybe never have happened. its come to light recently, that Desi, wanted to finish ,and for them to have a family life, life, but lucy wanted to go on, that maybe didn't help her marriage did it, not that im excusing Desi's behaviour however.
I'm so glad that I grew up watching this show because of my mom. Literally love this show and this scene is probably my favorite scene in all the seasons. Besides them having their anniversary in Hollywood. ❤ Lucille and Desi, you guys are incredible and I love you
Such an incredible moment in TV and on this show. Never fails to make me smile. Though this show was scripted, no ad libbing whatsoever, they truly had the emotions of an expecting couple. Though this was their second child, Luci was first, it was a crazy coincidence when this episode aired Lucille gave birth to their son Desi Jr. on the same day. They were glad they decided that Lucy and Ricky would have a son. Though their marriage didn't last it was said that after the divorce they did their best at co-parenting despite Lucille's hectic schedule and Desi's drinking and philandering. She said that they made better friends than they did being a couple. Though this show was only on for 5 years, it's still going almost 60 years later. It's funny no matter how many times you've seen it. Pure genius to everyone affiliated with this show.
Lucy and Desi suffered six miscarriages before they had this baby. If you know this fact, you immediately understand why they were so emotional and can't help but tear up yourself.
Watching all of these clips after watching "Being the Ricardos" (which was very good) gives me a new perspective on them and their skits, but still Timeless Comedy Gold.
I've been rewatching a lot of Lucy during the pandemic, the original, her later series and documentaries. I used to be obsessed with Lucy in highschool and I remember crying when I first saw this episode and it looka like it still had the same effect!
She was really hoping this baby would keep his roving eye at home. He was an old school Cuban who thought it was ok to have a side chick. It was said that the producers wanted a retake but they agreed to air that version
I love very much when Ricky Ricardo goes from table to table in which Lucy Ricardo gives to him the good news herself. Please post only positive comments over here. ™ October 02, 2023 @ 9:15 am ™
When my husband and I were expecting our older daughter, we waited until Christmas to surprise my parents with the news, and made the announcement in the form of a Christmas present. We bought a small jar of baby food and a bib (we couldn’t find one that read “I love my grandma,” but found one with Winnie-the-Pooh and Tigger), wrapped them up, and made that the last present under the tree. What made it funny was that everybody else got the message right away, but it took Mom about five minutes to clue in that the present meant I was pregnant! With our second, there was no hiding anything-I had Kate Middleton-type “morning” sickness all day and could barely keep anything down! That pretty much _screams_ “We’re having another baby!” right there. And since they’re almost five years apart in age, the news was received as the terrific surprise that it was!
Growing up, I watched reruns of I Love Lucy all the time on Nick at Nite. I was maybe 9 or 10 when I first saw this episode, and it hit me right in the feels! ^__^
You really feel like Desi as Ricky was hearing that Lucy/Lucille told him she was pregnant. There is even today real emotional energy that comes from them. Hands down one of the best acted and most touching moment in all tv history. Seriously even in movie history
Thank you very much, 606dv, for uploading this cute video so that we can see it again in the near future soon very soon. Please have a nice day today. ™ October 02, 2023 @ 9:25 am ™
One of the sweetest moments in all of television. I can't help but tear up every time.
Jeff Hocker I'm crying now!!!😂
And it was all authentic.
Yesss!!
EVERY TIME!!! 😭
I did cry
Easily one of the most genuinely tender moments in all of TV history. Love it.
Ricky started to cry in thus scene so did Lucy and Ethel sniffled. They wanted retakes but the audience stood up and shouted "no! no!" even Lucy and Ricky didn't want retakes.
No re-takes
It’s perfect❤️👩❤️👨
I love that her tears were real.
They wanted to record the end scene again but decided to keep it because of their genuine emotions.
+Jennifer Lorenzo I read in Lucy's autobiography that they did reshoot it, but used the original take instead. I don't think we'll ever see the retake. Unless somebody happened to have a movie camera in the audience. Lol. There is actually behind the scenes color home movie footage of a season 1 episode from an audience member's perspective.
Why did she have real tears??
Because she was really pregnant and Desi, the actor that's singing the song is her husband.
She said it made her think of when she had her first baby, Lucie and all the complications she had, so she became very emotional with her being pregnant again.
The way he kissed her at the end was. So genuine
THis one of the greatest episodes TV ever had
Steve Dwyer Great episode. My other favorite is The Indian Show, Desi sings ByThe Waters of Minnetonka
Yes I fully agree with you!!
My favorite is Indian Show but with the other lady Carol? Can’t find it on you tube anymore. Had it on my favs but it was taken down.
It’s obvious the love they had for each other. But Desi had that ‘roaming eye’ that Lucy could not, and did not, ignore. Sad. This scene is heart wrenching.
I don't care how scripted, or prepared this scene was, that was genuine emotion coming from Lucy. The love a man and a women express for one another when a baby is on the way is extraordinary and beautiful. Here, it's forever captured between Desi and Lucy.
Your right. It was emotional for both of them due to Lucy have multiple miscarriages.
And than the big miscarriage. Divorced!
She was pregnant in real life at the time so I’m sure it was.
I am crying looking at this. And I'm sure everyone else was/is too.
I totally agree Matt. No matter how many times I watch this, the tears flow like rain. Lucy was always so transparent, that's what made her so endearing. She wasn't afraid to take people to their most vulnerable places.
I know it's a show and they rehearsed this down to each letter but it feels very spontaneous and real. Kudos to Desi Arnaz's underrated acting.
dtv2031 .....and Lucy's perfectionism
Their reaction at the very end was really spontaneous. This is one of those rare moments. The take called for them to do the song and kiss at the end happily but according to Lucy herself as well as Desi Arnaz the whole scene made Lucy tear up, thinking about their troubles having their first birth with baby Lucie. She began to cry and so did Desi prompting that very tender ending. They wanted to re-shoot it but the audience shouted them down and saying it was perfect and so they kept it! et voila-TV History
dtv2031 this was actually Desi learning about Lucy being pregnant with their second child. His reaction and surprise was not scripted.
Tawnya Arns no, she was pregnant during the filming of this episode, but he knew already (her belly was still very prominent, even with their attempts not to film it).
It was. This was how she told Ricky she was pregnant. He had no idea
CBS censors prohibited the word "pregnant" at the time. I always cry when I see this.
So grossly stupid, sexist, and infuriating that the word "pregnant" was censored.
My favorite part is when he rests his head on her shoulders at the end, so genuine :'-)
Thea I know when he sings we’re having a baby my baby and me i tear up every time
You can absolutely feel the emotions that they are feeling ❤️ One of the most touching scenes of the series.
I'm crying my eyes out lol I sang this to my boyfriend after telling him we're having a baby. We swayed in the kitchen and cried. It was beautiful just like this moment captured.
How sweet!
You do realize that a husband comes before the baby does.
@@texasgirl6000You do realize that we no longer bastardize children. Right?!
@@texasgirl6000better to be a bastard than a bitch.
She actually got to be in Ricky’s Show.
They couldn’t say “pregnant”..But Desi said it worked out better because it was funnier for him to say “Spectin’.”
This is my favorite scene in the entire series! They were so in love, the way they looked at each other and how Lucille shyly cried was so beautiful. Can you imagine watching your parents so in love and holding each other so tight, what a privilege to have that on film.
I'm sitting here with tears in my eyes. This was always my favorite episode of I Love Lucy. So sweet!
I have been binge watching I love Lucy for like a week now . Last night my 20 year old sat and watched a couple of episodes with me and now he is addicted to it. He says it was funnier that the mess that comes on tv now a days. And he always comments how BEAUTIFUL Lucy is
My 22 year old son loves watching I Love Lucy too! I love that the younger generation is discovering this great show!
David O. Selznick auditioned her for the part of Scarlett O'Hara in Gone with the Wind.
The most touching scene ever! Especially, when we know the story of the struggles of Lucy & Desi !
Lucy was not acting here, She was shedding genuine, joyful tears! Ricky's reaction is so priceless! This is how ALL pregnancies should be
regarded respected & loved ,especially today. ,& regardless of the prevailing circumstances of life!
This scene is even more stunning , watching it &
looking back, today! We are reminded of the 2 marvelous children that Desi.& Lucy had & how they went on to do marvelous things in the world,in spite of the adversity of
life! "I LOVE LUCY" was & is an outstanding example of real life! May it go on forever! Thanks so much for sharing it with us!
My favorite episode ever. I still cry every time I watch it. Looking forward to meeting them both in Paradise❤
I love this clip....her emotions were so genuine. I love Lucy :)
I love this episode too. I still cry when they rerun it. I cried watching it again today, I played this for my granddaughter. turns out I am going to be a GREAT Grandmother!
wow, congrats. how old are you, your kids, and grandkids any way
the has heart hasheart That's a rude question to ask.
They were soulmates...wish they never got divorced.
I guess he was an alcoholic and it turned abusive. Sad 😔
@@priscillajimenez27 their daughter said when he bought RK studios he was under stress and didn't have time to come home to family , then she found out to take out stress he used to get drunk and other women around his arms, so I guess that was a wrong decision on his part, he should have just got rid studios if he couldn't manage it, making more money was making them emotionally miserable.
Probably the most beautiful scene in a sitcom ever
This is one of my most favorite episode of I Love Lucy ever!! loved Rickys expression the best
"I want you to meet my mother......I mean my wife, my wife" I don't think that line was scripted, but it couldn't have been scripted better!
After 2 years of trying with my wife we are finally having a child together. I am so excited and glad
How's it going Bub?
How's the family? ❤
I never knew Lucy was six years older than Ricky. So here she is 40 and he is 34. Wow..... ❤️
She was nearly 42 here. So he would've been 36
Such a sweet scene between the two of them. You can see how genuinely happy they were those tears were real! I love I love Lucy❤❤❤❤!
omg! i remember watching this episode the week after i found out and i CRIED!
im at 36 weeks now....SO EXCITED !!!!
congratulations!!!
thanks (:
Mademoiselle Emma aw that's great I love you
Alexis Grammer
i love you too lol
Mademoiselle Emma Wishing you and your family the best.
this is my favorite episode. I've watched this thousands of times n ball everytime...
watizzright me too sister.
watizzright .... Me three.
watizzright what episode is this one
I love when Desi says, "I bet he look like you, and Lucy responds, "I bet he'll speak with an accent like you! LOL
I just saw the Lucy and Desi documentary on amazon. I didn't think I could love these two more...
Oh my gosh I cry everytime I see this , she really loved him so much
Welllll..........she didn't. Their marriage was a disaster.
She absolutely adored and loved him...just because it did not work out does not negate that fact !!!
Tess Gregory Desi was the love of her life.
@@tessgregory987 they did love each other. Very much. The marriage just didn't work.
this is my favorite scene from what is THE greatest comedy show of all time
All the vague terms used just to say Lucy was pregnant. Expecting, expectant mother, blessed event. Times were uptight then.
I remember reading somewhere that this episode was controversial even mentioning that she was going to become a mother because no one had done that on television before. Lucy was the first woman on television to do a lot of groundbreaking things. She was definitely a treasure.
@@r.godfrey5231 Not to mention that her and Desi were an inter-ethnic marriage!
@@r.godfrey5231actually it wasn't her idea it was the producers, Lucy and Desi had thought , that was it and both of them were quite happy to finish ,ILL as children were important to both of them .Jess Oppenheimer, was determined not to lose this huge show watched by 50 million people every week, so he thought what the heck, they would try. tbh, the biggest reason the sensors let it happen was the fact that Lucy and Desi were married in real life, other wise the Story line would maybe never have happened. its come to light recently, that Desi, wanted to finish ,and for them to have a family life, life, but lucy wanted to go on, that maybe didn't help her marriage did it, not that im excusing Desi's behaviour however.
No. They were more sensitive and caring. A shame we left decency.
I like the delicate terns back then. Sweet everyone knew what they meant. Also some stuff could go back to bedroom. Would it kill the world?
I never get tired of watching this. ❤
The song was played by Ned on General Hospital 1996 Nurses' ball towards Lois when she was pregnant with Brooklyn.
...there’s no acting here...just absolutely incredible
Whenever I'm down, I just watch this video and it cheers me right up. :"))
+Gloria Tonks Whenever I'm down, I watch anything with Lucille Ball. :)
I cry EVERY TIME I see this scene. It's so intimate and special, bless them for allowing us to witness this heart warming moment in time.
I'm so glad that I grew up watching this show because of my mom. Literally love this show and this scene is probably my favorite scene in all the seasons. Besides them having their anniversary in Hollywood. ❤ Lucille and Desi, you guys are incredible and I love you
This is the cutest thing I've seen all week, oh my God.

This was Desi she had Lucy before the show
One of my favorite scenes in the entire series ♥
My all-time favorite Hollywood couple, along with Rita Hayworth & Gene Kelly.
tears me up everytime I see that!! So sweet
The excitement of a new father to be: "I'm going to be a father!" I can't, all these years later..
One of my favorite scene it made me cry 😊
Lol I love the look on his face when it finally dawns on him that their having the baby
I know
I remember watching this as a kid on Nick at Night. I cried my eyes out. One of the best scenes in the show. The look on his face is priceless.
As a 30 year old man who saw this as a 13 year old kid I’m so fucking happy to announce I’m gonna be a dad this year. I’m SO FUCKING HAPPY
This was one of the best episodes so far....I'm still at season 2, but I'm sure the series has much more great moments like this one.
ugh crying so much this is soo sweet! I love Lucy!!!
Watching all of these clips after watching "Being the Ricardos" (which was very good) gives me a new perspective on them and their skits, but still Timeless Comedy Gold.
What a beautiful couple. This show is timeless
im 7 months pregnant watching this and cant stop crying! 😍
Did you have your baby??? Boy or girl?
This is my favorite clip. Ty for posting.
One for the ages. Genuine love and emotion.
She looked so happy.
So sweet and moving. When he realizes he's going to be a father☺My niece is expecting my 3rd Great Nephew! Memphis was born 6-18-20💖
This part of the episode makes me cry every time. Its such a sweet announcement and when Ricky realized he going to be a father 💗
Desi Arnaz Jr. is now 65 years old--old enough to be collecting a pension. Time flies...
Wow.... like wow. You're right.
One of my favorite episodes ever from this show 🥰❤️ 💯💯💯💯💯
Precious moments, 🥺🥺💕💛🌸
I've been rewatching a lot of Lucy during the pandemic, the original, her later series and documentaries. I used to be obsessed with Lucy in highschool and I remember crying when I first saw this episode and it looka like it still had the same effect!
this is my favorite moment of this show!!!
Hearttouching!!
When I found out I was pregnant with my daughter I immediately played this song
this song makes me cry
omg this makes me cry its so sweet
The fantastic Desi Arnaz orchestra, conducted off camera by Wilbur Hatch. The unsung fifth man of ILL!
She's pregnant even though they don't share a bed.
Ricky: Lucy! You got some explaining to do.
I remember seeing this on TV and Lucy had such a beautiful glow. That was the most beautiful moment I ever saw
This episode took my breath away when I first saw it! Once of the best Episodes on a TV show I ve ever seen! ❤️❤️
I love this episode. It gets me every time 😥
I literally ball every single time!!! ugh!
They already were parents of Lucie. This was when she was pregnant with their son, Desi.
She was really hoping this baby would keep his roving eye at home. He was an old school Cuban who thought it was ok to have a side chick. It was said that the producers wanted a retake but they agreed to air that version
I love very much when Ricky Ricardo goes from table to table in which Lucy Ricardo gives to him the good news herself.

Why did I tear up? I love this show so much!! 😭
This is the greatest moment in sitcom history, and no one can tell me otherwise.
everyone loves that part when ricky freezes and that crazy look hes got
I love this song so much
I love how you can hear the director shout “DO THE BABY SONG!” Because Desi and Lucy are so distracted by the joy.
💔💔💔. Always makes me cry.
the queen of comedy!
This is one of the cutest things, ever!
This was one of my favorite moments
Love this moment forever. 😭
A beautiful moment! They were truly in love!
This is so sweet and touching.
One of the greatest moments in US TV history.
Probably the sweetest moment in television history. I dare anyone to name anything else....
