Default the show that broke the mold...

... Don't even BEGIN to compare I Love Lucy to ANY other television show.

No television series will ever come close to the stature I Love Lucy made. And FYI, If it wasn't for Lucille Ball, NONE of your faves and mine would've ever made it to the air waves. "I Love Lucy" brought something to the screen that was amazing, something we had never really seen before it.... the first TRUE, I repeat, TRUE! sitcom of all time. It was daring. It was courageous. It was the first show ever to mention pregnancy, and brought the first "mixed" couple to the air waves. This show broke the mold in so many different ways. It has another great sign of a TRUE classic... its entertaining us since 1951... 54 years on the air, NONSTOP. It will continue in syndication for a LONG time, and when it ends after its long reign in syndication, that still won't be the end for the series that started a million more. Lucille Ball will always hold a place in our hearts, and we will always hold a place in her heart, up in heaven. Thank you Lucille Ball, Desi Arnaz, Vivian Vance, William Frawley, Jess Oppenheimer, Madeline Pugh and Bob Carroll, Jr.

Leave it to Beaver....I was never a big fan of I Love Lucy, honestly. Lucille Ball was a good actress, but I never really liked the show. I always thought LITB was funnier and written better.

Hey listen, it's not a "fact" that I Love Lucy is better than Leave it to Beaver. You're behaving very immaturely. And it just makes you look like a moron typing in all caps like that... *chuckles*

I happen to like Leave it to Beaver better, so SHUT UP.
