I can't believe what I have just read over at the Sitcoms Discussion Board today. Click here (http://www.sitcomsonline.com/boards/showthread.php?threadid=110079). I'm completely disgusted and shocked.
The posters over on the Sitcoms Discussion board (mostly fans of 80's sitcoms, mind you) have made a point of saying the Dr. Crane Frasier is the longest sitcom character in television. As fans of Lucille Ball, we all know that is just a bunch of bull because our dearly beloved Lucy played the "Lucy" character for nearly 22 years. 6 years in "I Love Lucy", 3 years years in "The Lucy-Desi Comedy Hour", 6 years for each "The Lucy Show" and "Here's Lucy" and 1 year for "Life With Lucy" which adds up to be 22 years. Dr. Frasier Crane was around for only 20 years. With that said, the "Lucy" character is clearly the longest sitcom character so far.
Another thing that bugs me is ... it has been said many times that Lucille Ball played the same character on each one of her shows, but yet she doesn't get the credit of having the title of "the longest sitcom character". It really pisses me off. Some people can just be hypocrites and down right close-minded.
I don't know what the world has been coming to these days.
Fellow Here's Lucy fans, I'm sorry if I sound a bit too harsh, but I'm tired of these same people who loves 80's sitcoms
not give the credit that our beloved redhead deserves. Wouldn't you be a bit mad too?
