Something I must find a different release of: Arthur Godfrey’s Christmas album from 1953. Nothing against a stack of 10″ 33.3rpm records in a box, but surely there must be newer formats.
And “Slap ‘Er Down Agin, Pa” is NOT on this Christmas collection, thankfully.

Podcast Arthur Godfrey Golden Age of Radio Tribute

Radio-TV Mirror, October 1952. Arthur Godfrey really was a king in radio and TV then. He was a parasocial guy before parasocial was a thing! People saw him as a friend and bought whatever he promoted like he was Oprah. It may have taken "a heap of living" to become a king, but it took surprisingly little time to dethrone him when the public got glimpses of his real life assholery.

THE BOUNDING MAIN!
Nautical Lucy ~ Part 2
A salute to seafaring Lucy! Grab your life preserver, shiver your timbers, and set sail with part two of this all-new martime blog! All ashore that's going ashore!
“Lucy and the Scout Trip” (1964) ~ When one of the dads can’t go on the Cub Scout camping trip, Lucy and Viv step in.
Unfortunately, they sink the canoe, topple the tee-pee, and get lost in the wilderness as well!
“Lucy is a Process Server” (1964) ~ When Lucy needs money for a summer vacation, she takes a job as a process server. Her first summons must be delivered to none other than Mr. Mooney. She follows him onto a freighter bound for the Caribbean for six weeks. Befre she realizes it, the ship has left the port. So much for “all ashore that’s going ashore”!
“Lucy and Arthur Godfrey” (1965) ~ Lucy recruits Godfrey to star in a play about the founding of Danfield, which is set entirely aboard a riverboat in the South. The setting was undoubtedly influenced by the popular stage and screen musical Show Boat.
“Lucy at Marineland” (1965) ~ To open season four and mark Lucy’s relocation to the West Coast, “The Lucy Show” goes on location to Marineland. Somehow Lucy finds herself in a water tank in a tiny raft being pulled by a trained seal.
“Lucy and the Return of Iron Man” (1965) ~ To pay a debt to Mr. Mooney, Lucy must go back to work doing stunts as Iron Man Carmichael.
This time, the film is set aboard a pirate ship.
“Lucy and Bob Crane” (1966) ~ Bob takes Lucy on a date to a nautically-themed restaurant with a plethora of paintings and models of ships for decor.
“Lucy and the Submarine” (1966) ~ Mr. Mooney goes on training maneuvers and forgets to sign some important papers. To get his signature, Lucy disguises herself as a sailor and follows him aboard a submarine. She gets trapped inside when the sub takes a dive.
Although the interior scenes of the sub were done in studio, there were a few establishing shots of an actual submarine in port.
On “The Lucy Show” Jerry and Sherman (Jimmy Garrett and Ralph Hart) were submarine fans, having a sub lunch box and a toy submarine.
“Lucy in London” (1966) ~ Lucy and Anthony Newley go boating on the Thames, but end up sinking when the raft springs a leak. [Note: Despite the above photo, the special was shot and aired in color.]
“Lucy and Eva Gabor” (1968) ~ To finish her latest novel, Eva Von Graunitz (Gabor) hides out at the Carter home. A member of Lucy’s Bridge Club (Gail Bonney) asks her for an autograph – on a copy of The Caine Mutiny, the 1951 Pulitzer Prize–winning novel by Herman Wouk. It was turned into a stage play in 1953 and a film in 1954. It is set aboard a naval shit named the U.S.S. Caine.
“Lucy and the Ex-Con” (1969) ~ Disguised as old ladies, Lucy and former safe cracker Rocky (Wally Cox) go undercover to catch a crook.
They stake out the Seadrifter Café, a dockside establishment decorated in nautical memorobilia like paintings of ships and boats in bottles.
“Lucy Runs the Rapids” (1969) ~ On location at the Colorado River, Lucy navigates the rapids in a sleeping bag!
There are scenes on rafts both large...
... and small.
Will the Real Mr. Sellers... (1969) ~ is a 50-minute documentary by British actor Peter Sellers made to promote his film The Magic Christian. Some of the footage was shot on the Cunard ship Queen Elizabeth II.
Peter Sellers invites the viewers into a VIP lounge “to experience a VIP.” Once inside, the VIP is Lucille Ball, who is seen in silent close-ups putting on make-up and having unheard conversations. There is no dialogue and the entire sequence lasts just 15 seconds.
“Lucy Goes Hawaiian: Parts 1 & 2″ (1970) ~ Harry takes a job as a cruise director and recruits Lucy to be his unpaid assistant.
Originally, the two episodes were to be filmed aboard the actual S.S. Lurline. When costs proved prohibitive, Lucille Ball Productions had a three-quarter scale model of the ship built on the Paramount lot. At the time, it was the second largest ship ever built at the studio.
There were, however, establishing shots of the Lurline leaving port in San Francisco that featured cast members.
The S.S. Lurline was a real ship sailing from California to Hawaii for the Matson Steamship Line from 1932 to 1963, when it was sold to the Chandris Lines and re-christened the RHMS Ellinis. The Matson Line then brought the Matsonia (first known as the Monterey) out of retirement and re-christened it the Lurline, keeping the historic name alive in their fleet. The Lurline sailed her last voyage under this name in June 1970, before being sold to Chandris and re-christened Britanis. During the 1980s it was briefly the oldest cruise ship in service. The vessel underwent one more name and ownership change before being deliberately sunk in 2000 after nearly 68 years at sea.
Naturally, Lucy boards the ship in a highly unusual way. Just as she had in 1957′s “Lucy Takes a Cruise To Havana”, she boards via a cargo net after missing the last call at the gangway.
“Lucy and the Astronauts” (1971) ~ Harry takes Lucy along to a NASA splash-down aboard a navy ship, but before the astronauts can be medically cleared, Lucy has kissed them, forcing Lucy and Harry to join the space travelers in isolation.
Establishing shots of an actual NASA spash-down from the deck of a ship were used.
“Lucy’s Houseguest Harry” (1971) ~ Harry is having his house redecorated and needs a place to stay. Naturally, he imposes on Lucy. Harry falls asleep reading Boating, a magazine for boat enthusiasts.
Harry is a boat enthusiast who decorates his home and office with model ships and paintings of vessels.
“Kim Finally Cuts You-Know-Who’s Apron Strings” (1973) ~ When Kim moves out, she relocates to an apartment building in Marina Del Rey, an unincorporated seaside community in Los Angeles County, California. Fisherman's Village offers a view of Marina del Rey's dominant feature, the Marina, the world's largest man-made small craft harbor with eight basins having a capacity for 5,300 boats. The backdrop outside Kim’s window is of the harbor and prominently features the masts of many vessels.
“Lucy and Danny Thomas” (1973) ~ Lucy befriends a gruff painter (Danny Thomas) who says that most artists only sell their work after they die. Harry calls the subject of Danny’s painting a ‘boat’ and Danny corrects him that it is a ‘ship.’
Mame (1974) ~ The movie musical filmed scenes for the “Loving You” song on the Queen Mary. The Queen Mary was actually sailing at the time the film is set, but was in dry dock in Long Beach, California when the filming took place.
“The Love Boat” (1978) ~ Desi Arnaz Jr. appeared in a two-part episode in a segment titled “The Eyes of Love.” He played a blind man who has regained his sight. The series is one of only four one-hour television shows that had a laugh track. “The Lucy-Desi Comedy Hour” (1957) was another.

Start reading Episode 1
Dialogue transcripts:
Panel 1
Dorian: You caught me by surprise, Godalming. I was starting to think that you would never host an event. What’s the occasion?
Panel 2
Arthur: Just a send off for a good friend leaving for his homeland. Now…
Panel 3
Arthur: …To what do I owe the pleasure of a visit from Mr. Hallward and yourself?
Panel 4
Dorian: I wasn’t about to miss a Godalming party, of course! But I also wanted to say you’re welcome for my help in apprehending the Invisible Man. ♡
Panel 5
Dorian (offscreen): Don’t try to deny it, that puppy face of yours can’t hide a thing. Interesting friends you’ve got, Godalming. I didn’t know you had it in you; it’s most fascinating.
Panel 6
Dorian: As interesting as certain happenings at a secluded park up north.
Panel 7
Arthur: What are you getting at, Gray?
Dorian: You see, I, too, am rather interested in such strange cases…for personal reasons.
Panel 8
Dorian: And you lot seem to be most adept at attracting them…but you need my help for that, don’t you?
Arthur: If you wish to be part of this, Mr. Gray, you should be asking Mrs. Harker and Mrs. Norton, not myself.
Panel 9
Dorian: What do you mean—they are in charge of this?!
Panel 10
Arthur: Not as all-knowing as you boast, are you?
