Agreed... are they going to do older shows, like I Love Lucy, Burns and Allen, and Imogene Coca?

Can't wait to see Lucy, Julia Louis-Dreyfuss, Roseanne, The Golden Girls, and Megan Mulally.

Several years ago (I don't know which network) did a similar show called TVs Funniest Women. I have it on tape. It was very good and they really tried to get them all included! It was done before an audience of the funny women stars. It was hosted by Marlo Thomas, Candice Bergin, Mary Tyler Moore and a lot of others but right now I can't recall who they were. They showed clips from each woman's series and then showed the stars in the audience.
I hope this will be as well done as that one was!

I liked what I saw of it. They showed some pretty funny clips - although I wish they'd shown a few other people.
