I LOVE LUCY (1951-57)
''I know I'll be burned at the stake for this, but I Love Lucy was never something I enjoyed watching on TV whenever it was on. And I mean, I watch a ton, ton, ton of TV, including sitcoms.'' — jackJack

''I think it's a generational thing. Sitcoms in the '50s were not as ''sophisticated'' (meaning subtle) as some of today's. You have to get into the right mindset in order to enjoy the ''in your face'' antics. And you have to overlook the chauvinism (Ricky actually spanks Lucy for being disobedient in one episode, won't let her pursue a career, etc.).'' — R3

''I so agree. When I first heard Lucy do that 'whaaaa' sound and the TV audience laughed and laughed, I cringed. I remember my Mom looking at the TV and saying it must have been funnier when there were only three or four channels in the world.'' — Mikka
