Which of these two Lucille Ball sitcoms do you think is the best one and why?

The Lucy Show. I remember a funny episode, although not all the details, where Lucy and Vivian had to sleep in bunk beds. Something funny happened, I just don't remember. I've only seen "Here's Lucy" once.

It's not really fair for me to vote since I never really got a chance to see HL. I had seen a few episodes so long ago that I don't even remember them. I'm much more familiar with TLS, and I favor the episodes with Vivian Vance. I'd give anything to be able to see both these shows again, though. I hope they appear on some network soon.

I don't really like either, but IMO, HL was better. Having her kids there was a nice touch.

It just depends really. I think Season 1 of TLS is the best of Lucille's post-ILL work. And I also like seasons 2 and 3 of TLS. However, seasons 4-6 of TLS were probably my least of Lucille's work. I liked HL about the same threw out with some seasons being better than others. So I would say Seasons 1-3 of TLS, followed by HL, and then seasons 4-6 of TLS.

I saw more of The Lucy Show and it was hilarious. Here's Lucy was okay I only saw like 5 episodes and it was just okay. So I say The Lucy Show is the best, especially the first seasons with Vivian.

What about "Life with Lucy"?

I haven't seen either of these shows in years. Why is it so rare for a channel to show them? I love lucy is on all the time, you would think people would want to see these as well.
But in respone to the question I think The Lucy Show was a little better. Here's Lucy seemed a little tired.
The last time I saw Here's Lucy was about 20 years ago, local channel 5 (here in Boston) use to show it at like 3 or 4 am.
As for Life with Lucy, that show was sad, very unfunny. I wish she had never tried it.

Thanks!
