It’s time to stop associating the Golden Age of Television with only men
https://newrepublic.com/article/1459...-golden-age-tv
There are plenty of females who have created groundbreaking TV shows, including Transparent's Jill Soloway and Jenji Kohan’s Orange Is the New Black. |

Of course. You had Lucille Ball and Eve Arden and Joan Davis. These current sitcoms are pure crap.

Among the first names I thought of was Lucille Ball. Desilu was a big player in Hollywood. I guess the "golden age" is different times to different folks.

Count me among those who immediately thought of Lucy.
I also thought of Carol Burnett. |
