Who would you say was the funniest comedic actor/actress in TV history: Lucille Ball or John Ritter?

Which show do you think was the funniest: I Love Lucy, Three's Company, or The Lucy Show?

Lucille Ball is the funniest and I Love Lucy is the funniest out of the 3 choices.

Hottest Men alive:
Dale Midkiff
Anthony Starke
Tim McGraw
Jonathan Crombie

Lumpy: Did you go out for anything, Dud?

Dudley: Well, I went out for football, but I got my finger stepped on, so my mother made me quit.

Eddie: Well listen-- I went out for basketball and I got my hair pulled, and my mother made ME quit.

Dudley: It's not that I was afraid of getting hurt or anything; it's just that-- well, it's kind o' hard to play the flute with a busted finger.

[Eddie and Lumpy suppress laughter]

Dale Midkiff is my man!

Three's Company on the same level as I Love Lucy? I don't think so!

Lucy and I Love Lucy GMV!

Lucy: "Ever since we said 'I do' there are so many things we don't."

Lucy : "That must be my dear friend Ethel. I'll open the door, Fred."
Fred : "Open it?! I was going to lock it!"

Lucy : "Gee, did you hear that, honey? It's going to be called "Bitter Grapes." I wonder what part they want me for."
Fred : "Oh, you're probably going to be one of the bunch."

Absolutely I Love Lucy and Lucille Ball!

i LOVE both shows.. u got to look at it in different ways.... ones male and ones female, 25 years apart.. i think Lucile Ball could stand on her own 2 feet, but without all the other characters on 3s company, the show was nothing. (just look at the screen name)

I <3 LUCY!
Lucy" I saw a sign that said take one so i took one.After that i took anything even if it didnt say take on. I took a bright new bicycle, a shiny new penny. I even took a little boy... yeah but my mommy made me take him back."

The first question is easy. I've never found John Ritter funny. So in my opinion, it's Lucille Ball hands down. As for the second question, I can easily eliminate "Three's Company" because I don't find it very funny. Between "I Love Lucy" and "The Lucy Show," I'll qualify my answer by saying, had "The Lucy Show" maintained the same level of quality of its first season throughout its run, it would have been as good or better than "I Love Lucy." But unfortunately, that didn't happen. The quality dropped greatly over the years. So "I Love Lucy" wins.
