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

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 just got twelve of the Here's Lucy shows and was pleasantly surprised at how good they were, the kids being on the show seemed to energize Lucy and it showed she was really enjoying herself. Maybe the twelve i got were some of the best. They included many with Viv as guest star, and featured many big names like Jack Benny, and many others, it had been decades since i had seen these shows and it was well worth the wait!

I agree, though I don't like much at all for the fourth season of HL. The episodes with Kaye Ballard, Vivian Vance, Flip Wilson and Bob Cummings were pretty good, and a couple others were okay. But most of the ones from that season sucked.

I like the seasons of the lucy show with Vivian Vance. Lucy with Vivian were funny

I LIKE TLS AND HERE'S LUCY MOSTLY BECAUSE CAROL BURNETT WAS ON THEM BOTH. IF I HAD TO CHOOSE I WOULD PICK THE LUCY SHOW. WITHOUT VIVIAN VANCE! WITH GALE GORDON!
