It was so poignant and heartfelt. I felt all of the emotions of deep sadness and despair and the powerful feelings of regret, abandonment, embarrassment, and momentary determination.

He is truly at his rock-bottom and is looking at an incredibly long-distance steep uphill climb back to sobriety.

Josh Morrow and Roger Howarth nailed this one. 🔨

Bell The writers have hits and misses, but this one was knocked out of the ballpark. 💥⚾️💥

With all of that said, to those who are struggling: my heart goes out to you. It's an uphill battle to get back to sobriety and healthy normalcy. Work hard and try with all of your might. Keep pushing! You've got to WANT IT.

You will get there! Lean on your loved ones, friends, and pets, let their love guide you. 💕❤️‍🩹💕

It's such a tiny little detail, but I just love the way she speaks and enunciates her words, specifically when she told a very hungry Lucy what the hollandaise sauce was on, "Asparagus tips. Fresh, tender asparagus tips."

I was hard of hearing all my life, and now I am deaf (going on three years), and I am a life-long lip-reader. The way Mrs. Littlefield talks is articulate and so clear that you could almost see the actual words come right out of her mouth. I love her acting. She seemed like a fun person to be around.

**Fun fact:**

Mrs. Littlefield (named Phoebe Littlefield) was famously played by actress Edith Meiser in the classic I Love Lucy season 1 episode "Lucy's Schedule" (and later appearing when Ricky asks for a raise).

She is best remembered for conspiring with Lucy and playfully tossing food at her on-screen husband, Mr. Littlefield (played by Gale Gordon).

**Key Highlights of Mrs. Littlefield The Character:**

Phoebe Littlefield is the sharp, refined, yet fun-loving wife of Ricky Ricardo's boss, Alvin Littlefield.

**Memorable Moments:** Fans on Reddit note a consensus that Edith Meiser was visibly having a blast during filming, especially during the chaotic dinner-rushing and food-tossing scenes where she adorably breaks character and laughs.

**The Episode:** In "Lucy's Schedule" (aired May 26, 1952), Ricky tries to force Lucy to live her entire life down to the minute, prompting Mrs. Littlefield to join Lucy in rebelling against their strict husbands.
