This week, Lucy dons her iconic Professor character, and we get another great example of the Arnaz family chemistry. This episode is as funny as it is non-sensical. Side thoughts include some dark ponderings on why this episode isn't as famous as the Classic Lucy Moments, and the origins of Babalu.
