My Favorite Husband - February 11, 1949 - Valentine's Day

In this installment, Liz does a favor for her maid, Katie, by trying to get her a date for Valentine's Day with the butcher. The butcher thinks that Liz is the one who wants a date, and the complications grow from there.

This episode is fairly early in the show's run. Lucille Ball has already perfected her ditzy redhead character that she'll use for the rest of her career. Liz and George's names have been changed to Cooper (from Cugat, their name in the original novels), but Gale Gordon hasn't yet joined the cast as George's boss. In fact, here he plays the judge overseeing the case when the mix-ups send Liz to court.
