I Love Lucy is the #1 show eva!!!!
(i believ it is)
Do you agree???:crazy:

Lucy- I didn't tell a soul, and they all promised to tell!

No, it's not the best show ever. It's certainly one of the best sit coms though.

:wave:

I agree with Mickey. It's not the best show ever (that would be a rather hard conclusion to make and would rely too much on opinion), but it is a top ranker.

Gotta disagree there, dawsongirl. It's not a hard conclusion, and it doesn't rely on personal opinion - naming the best TV show ever is easy. It's The A-Team. No contest.

:wave:

Gonna have to go and watch it now. :)

:lol: That's not a bad show either. :D

I think its one of the best sitcoms ever made (and certainly one of the most originals, if not THE most......)

A TEAM?! OH MY GOSH! It's definitely "I Love Lucy"...hands down. The ratings and the fact that it has been on the air for over 50 years proves that!

SURE IT IS.

I LOVE LUCY IS THE BEST EVER!!!!!!!!!!! :mad:

Every time Mickey mentions the A team as if it were a good program, i'm reminded of Mrs Mcgillicuddy's reaction to Lucy telling her Ricky was being groomed to be the next Valentino! LOL! The TV Hall of Fame has only inducted ONE television show into it's TV HALL of FAME, and that show is I Love Lucy, and yes someone else was right, 50 years of being shown all over the world proves that it wasthe BEST ever, besides Mickey dear, remember who produced it and the First Lady of Television starred in it also!

Nah It's Not The BEST Show Ever... MacGyver Holds That Slot...:lol: But It Is A Good Show! :)

We hold secret vigils and don't invite you. :D

Splain dear, the reason the A-Team isn't still being shown fifty years after it was made is that it hasn't been around for fifty years yet! Give it time, give it time. Fun cast, terrific chemistry, daft plots - I can't understand why you don't like it more - those are half the reasons everybody claims to be an ILL fan!

And there are plenty of A-Team tributes, and conventions, and get togethers and the like. And, sadly, attempts at remakes. Still, all you Philistines who don't like the show - it's probably too late to convert you now!

I love Lucy I think in my personal opinion is the best show ever... ;D 2nd runner up is Bewitched for me! ;).

Hmmm...I dunno if I can make a definitive top 10. I just like a lot of shows and the top spot changes more frequently than Christina Aguliera's hair color. ;)

Hogan's Heroes
Powerpuff Girls
Futurama
Simpsons
Adam-12
Route 66
Emergency!
Quincy M.E.
McMillan and Wife
The Odd Couple

yadda yadda yadda

LOL I almost spit my coke out on my computer at that remark.. haha you are funny!! :D

I think it's a matter of personal opinion, if it has what you're looking for in a quality sitcom and you enjoy watching it, than it's for you decide if it is one of the best sitcoms.

IMO, I Love Lucy is one of the best sitcoms that I've seen. One of the highlights of this show is it's physical comedy, if you think about it some of the best episodes deal with physical comedy, and that's how this show attracts and captivates it's audiences.

Considering some of her choices, i thought she loved the OTHER kind of COKE! LOL! Hey, is it true MacGuyver could stop a nuclear device from going off with just a rubber band? If so, you're right, that does sound a lot like a LUCY plot! I actually watched the show a few times, but the A Team, i thought you had to be a wrestling fan to watch that. Just joking now!

To be fair to MacGyver, the science stuff he did was checked out by experts, so that everything he did/built/mixed up/made flashy things out of, was entirely possible. At least that was the way it was in the first few seasons! Don't know about later. But yeah, he could probably have stopped a nuclear bomb with an elastic band. Sounds like the kind of guy Kiefer Sutherland could do with over on 24...

And in order to enjoy The A-Team, you just have to have taste!

:wave:

lol!! coke as in coca cola not the drug!! I havent done any type of drug in my life so shame on you claude! LOL. A-Team is ok.. not the best though ;).

Hey Ash, i don't do drugs either, it was an obvious joke to do though, so i went for it! I liked George Peppard though, i remember him from movies. Did Mr T ever do water scenes because he could have drowned with all that jewellery on him.

No, it was poor old Face that kept getting chucked in swimming pools. And they threw Murdock in the sea at least once. I think there was a scene where Hulk Hogan and BA were seeing who was the best wrestler, and the loser of that was going to go in the drink, but I don't remember what happened then! Strangely enough, though, most TV shows do try rather hard not to drown their lead actors...

Splain now wishes he'd never asked the question... :)

Well, it's not the best according to the world these days, but it is the best to me.

In regards to personal preference, I Love Lucy IS the best show I have come acrossed on. Ever since I discovered the show I fell immediately "in love" with it. I Love Lucy IS my all-time favorite.

For me, it all depends. Sometimes it's my favorite show, and sometimes its not!

IT IS THE BEST! To last 50 years and still be going strong. To be the ONLY TV show inducted into the TV Hall of Fame. To still be playing around the world, and entertaining generation after generation, it looks it's going to be around forever, we'll be gone, but the show will still be going strong!

LOL I knew you were teasin' i just wanted to make sure you knew i didnt do them anyways :D LOL.

Well, i got hooked on Valium for decades, so i was so happy to get off them that i haven't taken anything since, with Valium you don't feel any pain, but then you don't get to feel anything.

Yes, Yes, MacGyver Could Do That... ;)

What has that actor been up to since the show stopped airing?

MacGyver?! You don't watch much TV, do ya Splain. :)

Richard Dean Anderson is the star of Stargate, a rather good sci-fi show slightly reminiscent of Voyagers! or Time Tunnel. He and a gang of not half so cool as he is associates jump into a big whirly hole every week and get transported to an alien planet somewhere, where they have adventures. RDA invariably then gets captured/shot/tortured or combinations of all three, there's lots of shiny crackly laser gun FX, and then they all go home again triumphant. Given the format it could run and run, but I doubt they'll go on once he's got really old. Mind you, since he's the producer it could go on forever. There are occasional recurring bad guys whose name everybody pronounces differently, (though sadly Peter Wingfield seems to have stopped guesting as one of them), and a million planets still to be visited, and all looking suspiciously like parts of Canada.

Kinda daft, but fun, like most of the best TV.

Sorry, i watch very little regular tv these days, so little is WORTH watching, but you're right, i've seen ads for that show and forgot about it because Star anything never interests me. I remember enjoying Time Tunnel though.

I dont watch Star Gate But I Love MacGyver! :lol:

The short answer to the question "Is I Love Lucy the best show ever?" is yes....

The long answer to the question "Is I Love Lucy the best show ever?" is ALSO yes....but it would take too long to 'splain..

Lucy, Ricky, Ethel and Fred were the John, Paul, George and Ringo of television casts...

I think that there are probably 50 episodes of Seinfeld that were as good as anything I Love Lucy ever did, however, Seinfeld did have a number of below average episodes...and even though Seinfeld was on for 9 years and I.L.Lucy for basically 5 years, they both made about the same # of episodes (about 180)...
heck, I'll do a little research...

I.L.L. made 179 episodes, Seinfeld made 170...

The Dick Van Dyke show was the other show that I would say came closest to being "perfect", with no really bad episodes...

Of course, these are just my opinions, but y'all are more than welcome to accept them as immutable facts! :wave:

Plus, comparing sitcoms to drama shows is an apples and oranges thing...

But I Love Lucy has certainly stood the test of time.

John, Paul and George, maybe. Don't compare any of the poor sods to Ringo! :)

the Beatles? Paul McCartney Is The Best! ;)

Paul McCartney? Nooooooo... :) He hasn't done a decent song in twenty years... and besides, he's very annoying!

Oh, I'm anti-Beatles at the moment. Ever since they released that Anthology a few years back all we ever hear about is Beatles, Beatles, Beatles. It probably didn't help that I was living in Liverpool at the time... with a girl who thought Paul McCartney was the greatest living being. :lol:

Live and Let Die... :rock:

Wow how can ya not like the Beatles? "Yesterdayyyyy all my troubles seemed so far away!!". LOL sorry :D.

I love Lucy is a GREAT show..but its not the best.

WELL, PAULA'S A GREAT SINGER, BUT . . . NOT THE BEST EITHER!

Wow how can ya not like the Beatles? "Yesterdayyyyy all my troubles seemed so far away!!".

:) I'm not saying I don't like the Beatles' songs. (Although slow ones like that I don't tend to like much) - it's just that I'm sick of them. When I was at school (two hundred years ago) people used to laugh at me for saying that I was a Beatles fan. Now they've become fashionable - and they're everywhere. People rave about them 24/7. They were the first to do what they did, and that's impressive and worthy of respect - it doesn't make them next in line for deification! Their most famous songs aren't even all that good, musically speaking! I just get so bored with all the magazine articles, the people talking about them on every music show, their songs being played all the time!

Oh and dawsongirl, I said McCartney hadn't done a decent song in twenty years - Live And Let Die was thirty years ago. And the Guns 'n' Roses version was better anyway! :)

PS - Couldn't make out who that was in the picture you attached to your comment about the Dick van Dyke show. Who is it?

I happened to be listening to that song at the time. :)

And the guy in the suit is Richard Dawson. :D
