#1 comedy TV show of all time:
I LOVE LUCY
My whole family can watch the show and we roll with laughter every time we watch it.
The funnest (and most memorable) classic TV episodes:
"Lucy Does a TV Commercial" (May 5, 1952) Episode 30
-Vitameatavegamin (and it's tasty too!)
The episode is in Volume 8 of Season One.
When you watch it you have to marvel at how Lucy was able to pull off the whole scene without messing up on live TV. I put that up against any sitcom of today.
During the first season of "I Love Lucy" in 1951-52 the show had a Nielsen rating of 50.9, which means on Monday nights literatlly half the television sets in the United States were on and tuned to CBS at 9:00 p.m. (and the show only finished THIRD in the ratings). However, the next year the show would make it to the top spot in the Nielsens with a rating of 67.3 as Lucy, both the actress and the character, gave birth. Today you can take the ratings from the four main networks and probably throw the two minor ones into the mix and still not come close to that number during any hour of the week. This is why there is "I Love Lucy" and then the rest.
Lucy rules and has past the of time!

No extras on the DVDs, but All in the Family is one of the great, all-time TV comedies.
