I Love Lucy

Contribution by Kennith Griffin

When you think of the original sitcom what television comes to mind? You probably puzzle it out for a moment and then immediately I Love Lucy comes to mind. By any standard this show is considered legendary and a classic among many other shows that could never live up to the long lasting love of Lucille Ball’s character in I Love Lucy. She is one of the most lovable and laughable characters in television history. She is also known as one of the first comediennes to really make it in Hollywood. At the height of her popularity she was one of the only women in comedy, which was quite a feat back then. There are also the stories of Lucy off screen with regards to her on again off again relationship with her on screen husband Ricky Ricardo. Even though they had a rocky relationship at home, on screen they were brilliant together, each playing off of the other with great comedic timing.
