It's an old, black and white (and then some color later on) American TV show following the lives of a cooky young couple. Super funny. Lucy is the wife, and the person who plays her husband was her real husband too. 🖤
Not only is I Love Lucy so lovably and funny, it stars real life couple Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz. No studio would film the show (no one wanted to see L. Ball with on the air with her husband, D. Arnaz), so they pooled resources together and created their own company, Desilu Studios. So I Love Lucy saw many firsts for tv (filming techniques, tv shows, and L. Ball bought out D. Arnaz after their divorce and became the first woman to ever head a major company). Aside from I Love Lucy, Desilu Productions backed Mission: Impossible, Star Trek, and many other fan favorites.
...can you tell I really, really, geek out over this? Back in highschool, I did a National History Day project based on Desilu and the impact the studio had on television. I also did one on Gene Roddenberry and the impact Star Trek has had on science, medicine and our technology. And this year for my college survey of world musics class, I'm using Desi Arnaz again as an example for Latin music in mainstream media (within I Love Lucy!), in my research paper.
Fun fact: Lucille Ball, the actress who plays Lucy, produced the first ever Star Trek series.
Yes!! Another reason I adore her!! Not only did she star in one of my favorite shows (I Love Lucy), but she helped to produce one of my all-time favorite series (Star Trek)!

Ooopie, and I just quoted instead of editing my post
Thanks for the advice, lol! I forgot what the point of this thread even was. Yes, I've seen Bewitched. One of my ultimate favorites! I'm so glad I've found someone who shares my taste in television! The only people I can get to watch this stuff with me are my parents. Not even my pet chickens will sit down w me 😪
And have you seen that I Love Lucy episode where Lucy and her friend Ethel struggle to properly work in the assembly line packaging chocolate?
Who's your favorite Star Trek: Original character? Mine's Spock. My favorite in the Next Generation is Data, though, since he is so darn cute with his whole "I wanna be human" goal.
Also, have you seen the original Batman series? It aired around the same time as the rest of these shows. Some don't like how it takes the more playful approach, but I personally love the color, comedy, and good old-fashioned Batman-theme music 🤗

OMG Job Switching is the best
Iconic
I love Spock and Uhura my babes.
For TNG, I love Deanna Tori, Data, and Worf. I was so happy to see Worf on DS9, and then with Jadzia, I adore her so much.
Be'lanna, Harry, Seven, and the Doctor have to be my favorite Voyager characters. So much to love there
Edit: OMG how could I forget about Beverly!! Our dancing doctor I hated when Pulaski showed up...because Dr. Crusher was gone
I haven't really watched much Batman, but I'm not a huge fan of superhero shows...
I do really enjoy watching The Twilight Zone and scaring my grandmother tho
What about the Beverly Hillbillies? That one is so funny and true

Been playing too much mafia? XD
Probably 😂
It's really hard juggling these two threads (especially for me cuz I'm active on both).
Cuz for this thread, I would edit my post to add more stuff to it when no one else comes on. And for mafia, I would have to make a new post to fix my grammar. 😂
Think that the smoke detector needs a new battery. It won't stop chirping! 😖
Best to take care of it so it doesn't chirp all night and keep yer pets up (assuming you have one).
Oh hey, you're back. I was hoping you would say something about it cuz you thought he wasn't interesting the other time. XD Yeah, I kidnapped him. Shhhh... 🤫

Hard for him to sing with that duct tape on his mouth, don't ya think? Anyway, I have returned but for how long is anyone's guess.
I am a perfectly decrepit withered old hag who enjoys self-mockery.

I feel like this is only proving your point, but....What's I love Lucy? XD
See?
A very old, very classic tv show from the 1950s. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_Love_Lucy
