Despite the general disdain on this board for "mainstream" TV clips, the 3 or 4 of you who think of WAM as something more than just meat-beating inspiration might actually be interested in this. Or not. I don't really give a fuck, but I wanted this to be out there...;.
In 1978, CBS ran a weeks' worth of self-congratulatory nightly specials under the overall celebratory banner of "CBS: On The Air A Celebration of 50 Years." The goal was to bring together more than 100 network stars, past and present, in a massive orgy of patting one's own back.
One of these specials, "Have a Laugh on Us," featured a vaudeville-style song "What's So Funny About Monday?" performed by Lucille Ball and Bea Arthur.
(Yeah...just waiting for the Bea Arthur obsessionists to jump into this....I never got that whole running gag/meme on here...)
Anyway, both ladies get a pie in the face, as seen in the accompanying still.
How is it that a Lucy pieing languished in obscurity for so long? Well, like many "retrospective" and anniversary specials, the shows that aired under the "CBS: On the Air" banner that week have never been rerun or released. Apparently, the Paley Center has some clips in its collection, from which the stills used in the Tumbler posting assumedly came.
So, that's it. Just a bit of info for the mainstream clip crowd. The rest of you may now return to spanking the monkey to WAM porn.
Not "unknown." There was a thread about it in 2012.... Can't find it now, as posts that old aren't archived. But it was reposted again here: https://umd.net/forums/old-women-pied

I think the original post was tongue in cheek,,,,because I often chat with both kinds of wam fans....i.e. the hardcore fetishists and the folks that prefer G rated wam, movies and tv clips that prefer slapstick humor.
I see both sides of of the wam culture.....there is porn-wam and tv-wam but essentially we all indulge in the same hobby. Fetishism is like the old saying about scuba divers.....i.e. there are only 2 kinds of scuba divers -- those who pee in their wetsuits -- and those who lie about it.
BTW....don't say anything unkind about Bea Arthur -- she is a goddess on this forum.

I saw this special each night, or at least parts, but I don't remember these pies. It's probably the last pie in the face Lucy ever took. The hit on her was better than the hit on Bea. Bea was caked & pied on MAUDE, and Walter was pied nicely in the last season in "Businessperson of the Year". Most of the cast (not Adrienne Barbeau, though she was in the scene) were pied in a final season episode, "Musical '78".
Love you, too
