I Love Lucy

I love Lucy, I really do! I Love Lucy is one of the oldest series which began in the 1950’s. They are mostly in black and white, but the story line is so skillfully developed, you won't miss it not being in color. You have probably watched the re-runs for years, a comedy story of the life of Lucy and Desi and their struggles and friendships, and the ways they fill their time, the jobs they have, the roles they play in a typical family household of that period. The episodes were geared for families to watch together, so we see a good balance of family-friendly themes which children or adults would find enjoyable. I think Christian families would especially enjoy the series, because of the values portrayed. One theme that occurs on occasion, however, is the husband/wife jealousy topic which is not really anything to laugh about. Lucy does occasionally lie in the show, and then tries to justify it, which to me shows another very human aspect of the movie, it shows our concupiscence, and need for approval. Lucy was the first television series to show a pregnant mother on television, as it was highly questionable at the time. I believe this was a very good thing to be shown on television, showing all aspects and members and the beauty of a family. This emphasizes human dignity, in that it shows each person’s role, the importance of it, and of family life, and of friendships that honor the dignity of the human person, unlike many shows today. It shows excellent values and the importance of family life , projecting a positive attitude with the virtues of traditional values such as being a stay at home mom, the value of all workers in the workforce, such as Desi, whose career as a singer and bandleader was worthy of respect. There was a brief moment in an episode where the parents are teaching their child to pray. I would have enjoyed the program more, had they made faith more of a priority in the family life. We see in one episode when Lucy was having a baby; the love and care between Lucy and her husband, their expressions revealed truth over the concern and nervousness in awaiting a new chapter in their life, and the minor struggles they faced personally and yet together. Showing the realism of average families with the touch of comedy inspires people to enjoy family life which God created as one of the most fulfilling of experiences. He is the author of love and life, and surely wants our families to be joyful and full of purpose! We can all relate to the Lucy series because the show is forever motivated by and relevant to our experiences. Families over time share many of the same experiences: birthday parties, meeting new friends, cooking at home, switching jobs, babysitting, vacations, buying a car, or pursuing talents and interests. When I am tired and don't want to concentrate, I enjoy this show so much because it is light-hearted, heart-warming, and is just plain fun to watch.

I am seen on I love Lucy

Classic, hilarious, amazing show. Never gets old. We watch the seasons on repeat and my kids know basically every episode at this point - just like I did when I was their age and watched the show on repeat with my mom :) there is something special about being able to share such a wholesome, American tradition with your kids. There is very little that is concerning in the show other than having some historical conversations with your kids about how people didn't know smoking bad for you back then, men and women weren't as equal as they are now, etc. I think learning about the historical cultural perspectives has been really interesting to my kids (as it is to me). But besides all that, we all still laugh out loud at this show even after seeing it a hundred times. It's just comedy gold.

Classic, funny, show. I loveeeeeee this show. Its really funny and I have seen the series many times over the years. We are watching it on Paramount+ right now. That's the only place it's on, to my knowledge as of the typing of this review. The actors are all amazing and Lucy is an absolute icon. She's hilarious. Episodes are in Black and White. Go watch this show!

I Love Lucy is one of the best shows ever made. Lucille Ball, Desi Arnaz, Vivian Vance, and William Frawley are an all-star cast that have great chemistry. And unlike so many shows, there is absolutely nothing crude or vulgar about this. There is smoking in a few episodes as a sign of the times and getting drunk in the famous Vitameatavegamin episode. Mild violence from Ricky's temper, but not much.

Sitcoms aren't this well made anymore. Even my six year old liked it, though I began to be uncomfortable with the male and female roles. At one point, Ricky spanks Lucy. All fun and games, I guess, but at what age would you like to explain that to your child? Decide for yourself and move forward at that age.

This show is great, some episodes are good, ok, not so good, and THE BEST!!! My favorites were the first i think one, Lucy goes in a tv commercial, Lucygoes on a camping trip, and Lucy goes on a biking trip? Sometimes Ricky is a jerk, theres some outdated marriage humor like only women do this or that, but it's still a good show. It's also a little educational because the actors for Lucy and Ricky were really married, the episode where Lucy had little Ricky actually happend with their reall baby, and other things so its educational in tv history.

There is a lot of smoking which isn't awful compared to things around now days. Keep in mind however of the episode called seance. Where there is use of a oqija board. This would be a big concern for Christian parents.
