Sitting through the biopic, though, I thought back to the “Scary Lucy” situation with new sympathy. What possessed writer-director Aaron Sorkin-a man who’s openly stated that “I Love Lucy” is “not a show … we’d think was funny” today-to make a film that dramatizes a week of the sitcom’s production is a mystery. I’d forgotten about it completely until I turned on Being the Ricardos, which heads to the Oscars next week with nominations for Best Actress and Best Actor. “Scary Lucy,” the much-maligned statue of comedy legend Lucille Ball in her hometown of Celoron, New York, was just a brief blip on the cultural radar when a fan campaign demanding its removal went viral several years back.
