Today, to celebrate Lucille Ball’s 100th birthday, Google has cooked up an interactive home-page logo: a vintage TV set that plays seven classic clips from “I Love Lucy.”

In other words: For one of our greatest TV stars ever, Google presents one of its greatest “Doodles” ever.

Where the words “I Love Lucy” typically appear, the heart-enclosed script lettering spells out “Google,” Click “play” and the TV set offers a time-travel tribute.

No one has more than one birthday, let alone 100.

She was a committed communist, yes? I wonder where she is at this moment?

Very clever how you can click the tv dial numbers and get different clips of episodes.

What a great show and cast

I’m listening to Sirius radio classics weekend celebration of Lucy — they’re playing a Suspense episode where Lucy has $21,000 stolen money and Desi is holding her hostage on a road trip. All works out at the end. Very different than their usual personas!
