I Love Lucy:
1. 2nd Season
2. 3rd Season
3. 4th Season
4. 5th 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 Lucy Show
1. 1st Season
2. 2nd Season
3. 3rd Season
4. 4th Season
5. 5th Season
6. 6th Season
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.
