Little Ricky Gets a Dog


Watched this highly mediocre ep this week. Haven't watched it in many years, and I had forgotten how run-of-the-mill this offering is. It's far from a clunker, but it is mundane and fairly short on laughs. Its obvious sole purpose is to introduce "Fred", an admittedly cute puppy.

This episode hails from an arguable lull in the series where one is just counting down the shows until the gang is living in the country - the last great time period of the series.

I thought it was one of the better ones.

I find it okay, nothing more, nothing less. I think both "The Loving Cup" and "Lucy Meets Superman" are incomparably better, but to each his own.

I only like this episode because I'm a dog lover!

The episodes you cited were a lot better. But I do like the scene when Little Ricky says that he names his pets after people he likes. And Fred caves in immediately!

I loved the way he won Fred over.
