HAPPY NATIONAL I LOVE LUCY DAY, Lucy fans! 69 years ago today I love Lucy premiered and changed the face of TV. What episodes will you guys be watching today to celebrate? I'm in the mood for some season 1 episodes!
shareGreat idea for a Holiday.
shareRight on! And next year marks the big SEVENTHIETH! (What can I say, I've always been good at math).
I have loved this show since I was a kid (50 years plus). I discovered it in nightly reruns when I was in second grade. It ran at 7:00 every night. My parents said IF I finished my homework and dinner, I could watch.
Neither of my parents (or brother) liked the show, so I laughed alone.
In the decades following, I have enjoyed the reruns (then the DVDs), through great years and bad years.
The show has been especially comforting during this past horrible year.
I don't like every episode, nor am I particularly fond of Ball's later TV work. But the series is STILL top of the line.
Every successful sitcom that's followed owes I Love Lucy a bouquet of thanks.
And tonight, I will celebrate this legendary show with a screening of "The Girls Want to Go to a Nightclub."
Very nice! I watched “Ricky asks for a raise”. I grew up watching Lucy on nick at nite. I would watch every night before bed. My mom introduced me to the show. She was a big fan and still is. My mom and dad both love the show the only one that doesn’t like it is my sister! I remember every Friday night nick at nite would have I Love Lucy, the Lucy desi comedy hour and the Lucy show. I always loved Friday’s to get extra Lucy!
