Before there was Beyoncé, Madonna or Marilyn Monroe, there was only one woman who was more popular than all the men combined.
Lucille Ball wasn't just a phenomenal comedian, she was a true icon…and a pioneer for every great comedic actress to follow.
For four out of its six season span from 1951 to 1960, I Love Lucy was the most popular show on television, but it didn't end there. I wasn't born for another few decades, but when I was growing up I Love Lucy was my favorite show on television. It didn't just define one generation, the iconic show has serious staying power. As you can see in this article about Lucy's hometown fans, the world still really loves Lucy.
In the following clip from YouTube page "TheFineBros," we see some "elders" reacting to clips from the classic TV show. I don't know about you, but each and every one of these clips brings me back to my childhood. You just can't forget some of these episodes like the "Vitameatavegamin" commercial – and I have to say, I completely agree with what the one woman says at 1:50.
Did you watch Lucy back in the day – or still? Let us know in the comments and don't forget to SHARE this post with your friends.
