The perfect episode of I Love Lucy?
Subject is in the title. It may not necessarily be your favorite or the most popular, but which episode, to you, is perfect? I would love to hear your reasoning why.
For me, it's The Camping Trip. It has cozy domestic scenes that lightheartedly poke fun at marriage, doesn't involve any fights or high stakes, has a battle of the sexes theme (a personal favorite), and there are no boring songs or club routines to sit through. The gags are funny, the woods are a nice change of scenery, and apart from the first scene where the gals are playing cards, it features only the fab four, which is one of my criteria for a perfect episode (no Peggy and Arthur, please!). My only nitpick is that I wish there were more scenes with Fred.
The Golf Game comes pretty close too, and I consider it a spiritual cousin to this episode. Moreover, the scenes are divided more evenly between the four main characters, which is a plus.
