Lucy is like no other show, simply amazing. A classic comedy that transcends it's decade as the themes it conqueres applies to so many people. The stories are of the many relationships that we all interact with daily, from friends to family to growing the next generation. It's truly a show that retains its relevance through its era and brimgs a smile to everyone's face. Love Lucy, Love Always, and more importantly I Love Lucy.

I have loved Lucy for as long as I can remember. I have seen almost every episode of "I Love Lucy" and all of the Lucy Desi Comedy Hour's. I have seen some of "The Lucy Show" episodes all of the "Here's Lucy" episodes and her final TV series "Life With Lucy". She was, is and always will be the Queen of Television Comedy and the second most famous television comedian in the world. Her and the late British TV Comedian Benny Hill's face's have been seen by more people in the world more than anyone else.
