You’ve wandered into the topsy-turvy world of Tulgey Wood, the blog of writer and historian Jim Fanning. Tulgey Wood celebrates artistry and creativity (and sometimes just plain madness): movies, animation, TV, books, comics—and of course Disney, lots and lots of true-blue, through-and-through Disney, including D23 and Disney twenty-three Magazine, and Sketches Magazine and the Walt Disney Collectors Society. Tulgey Wood is so fun, fascinating and full of frolicsome photos and facts, it’s scary. So wander through the wonder of it all, and enjoy.

Happy 70th to I Love Lucy

On October 15, 1951, I Love Lucy made its debut on CBS. The show starring Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz (Desi being the still under-appreciated creative force behind the show) was an instant hit and its many innovations were adopted for many TV comedy series and are still in use today. To celebrate this gold standard of a show in way that fits in with our Countdown to Halloween 2021, here is a look at  Lucy as a wicked witch (and brilliant co-star Vivian Vance as a good fairy) from the Little Ricky's School Pageant episode that was originally broadcast on December 17, 1956.
