I don't think it's an exaggeration to say that "I Love Lucy" is the best and funniest television comedy ever made. Lucille Ball, Desi Arnaz, Vivian Vance and William Frawley were an ingenious quartet on screen, bringing out the best in each other's performance. The show combined all the elements that are missing from most of today's tv comedy without being vulgar or embarrassing. Lucy, and most of the time Ethel too were always getting into some kind of trouble or cooking up a scheme. Ricky and Fred were always one step ahead or one step behind their wives. The show was simple and that's what made it fun. Ricky and Lucy were a married couple renting an apartment in the building ran by Fred and his wife Ethel. Of course, Lucy and Ethel were the best of friends and were always getting themselves in trouble... this is where most of the show's appeal came from. Anyone who hasn't watched I Love Lucy is missing a true gem of a comedy. Black and white may be a turn off to a lot of today's young digital audience, but put aside modern technology, sit down and get ready to laugh yourself silly!
