Anyone watch this special tonight? I thought #1 would be I love Lucy.

I did watch and I was terribly disappointed. Most of the clips weren't funny at all.

The funniest and best ones were the classics.

I agree with both of you. The older shows were better, which is what I keep saying all along. To prove it, I've thought of 10 great examples of some funny scenes from 50s and 60s sitcoms. It's hard to put them in any kind of order because they're all great so let's enjoy them together:

I LOVE LUCY

Lucy Does A TV Commercial

Job Switching

Lucy's Italian Movie

Honeymooners - Better Living Through TV

Leave It To Beaver - In The Soup

Phil Silvers Show - The Court Martial

Beverly Hillbillies - The Giant Jackrabbit

DICK VAN DYKE SHOW

My Husband Is Not A Drunk

It May Look Like A Walnut

Coast To Coast Big Mouth (full episode)
