In 1962's "Lucy Puts Up a TV Antenna" (S1;E9), Lucy Carmichael is on the roof adjusting the aerial having sent Viv into the house to check the TV reception. When Lucy asks what is keeping her, Viv yells up the chimney: "I got carried away watching Art Linkletter. Come on down Lucy. He's about to go through a lady's purse."
