Recommended: TV show I Love Lucy

I Love Lucy takes place in an apartment building in New Your City. The show centers around Lucy, Roger, Ricky, Lucy’s friends, and landlords. Lucy wants to make it into the show business, but doesn’t have what it takes to make it there. The I Love Lucy show was a big hit being the first television show to be inducted into the Television Hall of Fame. In 2013, TV Guide ranked I Love Lucy as the third greatest show of all time. I Love Lucy, starring our favorite redhead, Lucille Ball, was rated in 2012 by People Magazine and ABC News as the Best TV Comedy and the greatest TV show of all time. I Love Lucy was the most watched show in the US for 4 out of the 6 seasons it aired, and won 5 Emmy awards. I Love Lucy was a sitcom filmed in front of …show more content…

Lucy’s TV husband, Ricky, was played by her real-life husband, Desi Arnaz. The Mertzes were played by Vivian Vance and William Frawley. The couples lived next door to each other in Manhattan at the fictional address of 623 East 68th St., which would put their building in the East River. In the last season of the show, the two couples moved to Westport, CT. The Andy Griffin Show in my opinion was a bigger hit than I Love Lucy. The Andy Griffin Show received Emmys in 1961 for Outstanding Performance in a Supporting Role by an Actor or Actress in a Series and Outstanding Program Achievement in the Field of Humor. In 1962, the show won an Emmy for Outstanding Performance in a Supporting Role by an Actor and Outstanding Program Achievement in the Field of Humor. In 1963, the show won for Outstanding Performance in a Supporting Role by an Actor. In 1966, the show received the Outstanding Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role in a Comedy award. In 1967, The Andy Griffin Show won for Outstanding Comedy Series, Outstanding Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role in a Comedy, and Outstanding Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role in a

  • Ethel Merman: Broadway´s Voice

    1266 Words  | 3 Pages

    Ethel’s life before Broadway speaks a lot to her career on Broadway. Ethel Agnes Zimmerman was born in the neighborhood of Astoria in New York. Merman showed her love for singing as a child, singing in the church that she went to with her parents. Also, she went to Vaudeville shows to watch stars like Fanny Brice perform (Kenrick). Ethel’s parents believed that she should gain an education because show business was not a viable career choice, especially for women in this period. She became a stenographer but continued to sing as nightclubs in New York for extra money (Kenrick). When her performances began getting recognition and her name more acclaimed, she shortened it to Merman and began performing in the Vaudeville Circuit at the Palace Theater (PBS).

    She said, “It was not love at first sight… it took five minutes” (Ball 118). A little while after they met, Desi Arnaz and Lucille Ball enjoyed a meal at the restaurant El Morocco. The night before, Desi had gotten a negative comment in the newspaper, distressing him and Lucille. They were talking about this problem when a photographer came by and took a picture of them. That night they talked about their differences and decided that they never were going to marry. Once the dinner was over and they had both gone back to their apartments, Lucille got a telegram from Desi. It said “just wanted to say I love you, goodnight and be good. I think that I’ll say I love you again, in fact I will say it. I love you love you love you love you” (Ball 106-108). So they eloped just a week later, on November 30, 1940. They stayed married for four years before getting a divorce because of a rocky marriage. But they got back together again, re-married and created Desilu Productions to launch their vaudeville act. Later they produce their very own show I Love Lucy (Biography.com). Producing this television show made Lucille even more famous than she already was.

  • The Brady Bunch

    712 Words  | 2 Pages

    The word sitcom is short for Situation Comedy. A good sitcom story idea places the star (or supporting character) into a situation in need of a resolution, which will cause the character to respond in unexpected, exaggerated, and hugely sidesplitting ways (Rannow, pg. 13). A comedy now days are different from how they were in the 1960's and 1970's though. Today directors use sexual content and foul language to make people laugh and do not usually have a purpose or point to get across to the audience with each show. In earlier comedy, such as The Brady Bunch, Director Jack Arnold tried have a lesson learned in each episode while still maintaining a sense of humor, minus the foul language and sexual content. Although the show is not extremely funny to most people it is still a classic show that deserves to be remembered.

  • TV Sitcom: That '70s Show

    1198 Words  | 3 Pages

    That 70’s show is about Eric Forman and his teenage friends and also is family members that live in Point Place Wisconsin through the time period of 1976-1979. The biggest surprise about the series is that despite it being only a three year time frame it managed to run for eight seasons that was seen on Fox from 1998 to 2006 which became the networks second longest running live action sitcom only trailing the show married with children. Despite the fact that the show wasn’t really based in the 70’s the production of the show did a good job to make it seem like they lived in the 70’s with cars, music etc… It’s kind of weird that the show was named “that 70’s show” when it didn’t officially take place during the 70’s.

  • Critique of The Dumb Waiter by Harold Pinter

    The play is set in the basement of an old broken down house. The basement seems dark and dank. This setting is not familiar to the characters for they are hit men and move around from job to job. Later in the play the dialogue indicates that it is set in the basement kitchen of a café, but I feel that this is just another story made up by Ben in order to explain the dumb waiter’s activity.
