I Love Lucy:
1. 2nd Season

5. 1st Season
6. 6th Season
All of the seasons were good. It took the writers and the cast a little bit of time to develop themselves into the show. By the end of the 1st season things really started going great. The 2nd season was the best. It was very funny and heartwarming with the birth of Little Ricky. The 3rd season was good but not quite as good as the second. The 4th season's Hollywood theme was good and added a nice new twist to the show but with all the guest stars it took some of the "Lucy" out of it. Same way with the 5th season, with all the different locations. The 6th season just didn't have the spark or the really great episodes of the first 5 season in my opinion.

The 1st season was clearly superior. It was Lucy as she was on I Love Lucy. Season 2 was really good but not as good as Season 2. The departure of Desi as Producer hurt as he was the driving force. Season 3 was also good but not as good as Season 2. The loss of writers Bob and Madelyn hurt the script quality. The biggest blow for the series occured at the beginning of Season 4 when Viv left. Season 4-6 were fair with a few episodes that were really good but for the most it wasn't close to the previous seasons. Most of the episodes had ridiculous situations, even for Lucy. The storylines didn't start with a strong plot.

Here's Lucy
1. Season 3
2. Season 2
3. Season 1
4. Season 4
5. Season 5
6. Season 6
Season 1 began the series in a pretty good way. Lucie and Desi Jr. added alot to the show that had been missing the final 3 years of The Lucy Show. The scripts were better as well Season 2 saw improvement as the cast and crew really jelled together more. Lucy Carter was looking like Lucy Ricardo. Season 3 was the best. Writers Bob and Madelyn returned at the beginning of the Season to write "Lucy and the Burtons", Lucy's 2nd highest rating for a single episode in her entire career. They continued to write many of the scripts in the following years. Season 4 started with a blow when Desi Jr. left. The series remained pretty good though. Season 5 things began to go downhill. Lucy started the season with a broke leg and the writers struggled to find a way to incorporate it into the script. Season 6 was a real struggle as Lucy still hadn't fully recovered and her acting thus declined. The scripts also continued to decline as well.

I agree for the most part, but I think season 6 was better than seasons for and 5. Season 5 was the worst, I think. The last season had plenty of lame episodes, but there were memorable ones like the last episode, Lucy Fights the System (a classic), Lucy is N.G. as an R.N., Mary Jane's Boyfriend and Where is My Wandering Mother Tonight? The fifth season really didn't have any standouts except maybe Lucy and the Not-So-Popular Mechanics. And the forth season MAYBE Lucy and Bob Cummings and Lucy and Flip Go Legit and the one with Kaye Ballard.

I'm not spelling too well tonight. That should be "seasons four and 5" (not "for") and "fourth season (not "forth).

You know, I'd almost put them in order, 1-6. One the best, six the worst.

I don't care much for the first season. I don't think the characters were well defined them and the plots were often silly. I'd rank them this way:

1. 4th season
2. 2nd season
3. 5th season
4. 3rd season
5. 6th season
6. 1st season

See, you should have come over sooner. :)

Don't remind me! I tried over and over, and that thread about logging on difficulties makes me feel better! I like that you can say anything here without fear of banishment!

Here's Lucy
1. 4th Season (For one reason, "Lucy and The Astronaunts", one my favorite "Lucy" episodes.)
2. 6th Season (The 6th season had some GREAT episodes)
3. 3rd Season
4. 1st Season
5. 2nd Season
6. 5th Season

Yes, season 6 had some very memorable episodes...the ones written by Bob and Madalyn. The only problem was, the ones that weren't written by Bob Madalyn were for the most part not too good.

I could go on all day about those great writers, but the proof is that the show is lasting so long, and doesn't seem all that dated, considering it's 50 years! Citizen Kane for the movies and ILL for TV, they are timeless!

I Love Lucy
1) 3rd season
2) 4th season
3) 5th season
4) 2nd season
5) 1st season
6) 6th season

Figured that I'd finally get my lazy butt to do this. :lol:

That's very true, some of the best episodes of that season were written by Bob and Madelyn. Like "Where is My Wandering Mother Tonight" (The "yoga" scene is one of Lucy's best, and I hope I'm that agile when I'm that age, lol). "Lucy and Joan Rivers Do Jury Duty, and everyone's fav "Lucy Is N.G As An R.N."

But there were some other great episodes that weren't written by Bob and Madelyn that season like, "Mary Jane's Boyfriend", and the final episode "Lucy Fights The System".

The one with Joan Rivers is the only other one i have besides the Liz and Richard episode and i think it's a riot! Real Vintage Lucy!
