I think Mrs. Ball was an ENTP female.
I think so too. But Lucy on the show was an ENFP.
Really . In real life, she's an estp.
How do you know?
Seriously?
well... if you met me in real life you'd have very few arguments as to her type
I'm watching this for no real reason right now.
The 4 main actors (as I don't find any characters/scripts all that convincing):
Lucy - entp
Ricky - esfj
Lucy's friend - entp
friend's husband - estj
Which makes sense.
Lucy was an N? Wouldn't you expect to see more...mmm...intuition? I mean ya, she came up with schemes, but scheming is also the trademark of the ESTP. Also, there was no word play and she didn't seem as lonely as all the ENTPs ever.
Lucy - ESTP
Ricky - ESFJ seems right
Ethel Mertz - ESTJ
Fred Mertz - ISTJ
But Vivian Vance =/= Ethel Mertz. There should be character type and actor type.
I don't find this show's characters very convincing.
The characters' types?
What does that have to do with anything? It was a 1950s sitcom. They're still working with a script and playing characters on a show. In real life Ethel and Fred didn't like each other and Desi and Lucy had a far from perfect marriage.
Lucy Ricardo and Lucy Ball-Arnaz are different people. I'm just asking you to clarify when you talk about the relationships they had in character on screen vs speculation about what happened off screen.
Lucy, in her career, wasn't always doing the same kind of comedy she was doing by the 50s (there was a cultural shift; Americans preferred slapstick almost exclusively to the witty repetitions of the previous era). Word play was a much bigger part of the roles she got during the madlibs early 40s, late 30s. And she could do it just as well.
Yes, the characters....I got the impression we were typing the show. I really don't know about the actors themselves. Vance is likely not ESTJ, but I think Ethel is.
