Ok...hopefully this one isn't a Fata as well....
Team TV Guide calls to the podium a true classic of the small screen - a show that is still watched all over the world in syndication today - from the
pre-1980's category,
I Love Lucy.
From Wikipedia:
I Love Lucy is an
American situation comedy, starring
Lucille Ball,
Desi Arnaz,
Vivian Vance and
William Frawley. The black-and-white series originally ran from
October 15,
1951 to
May 6,
1957 on
CBS. The show continued on for three more seasons with 13 one-hour specials, running from 1957 to 1960, known first as
The Lucille Ball-Desi Arnaz Show and later in reruns as
The Lucy-Desi Comedy Hour.
I Love Lucy was the most-watched show in the United States in four of its six seasons, and was the first to end its run at the top of the ratings (to be matched only by
The Andy Griffith Show and
Seinfeld), although it did not have a formal series finale episode.
I Love Lucy is still
syndicated in dozens of languages across the world.
The show won five
Emmy Awards and received numerous nominations. In 2002, it was ranked second on
TV Guide's top-50 greatest shows, behind
Seinfeld and ahead of
The Honeymooners[1]. In 2007, it was placed on
Time magazine's unranked list of the 100 best TV shows.
[2] The same year, the
Washington Post named it the second best TV rerun, attesting to its longevity and sustained popularity.
