What Parents Need to Know
About I Love Lucy
Parents need to know that this still-hilarious (and ubiquitous) 1950s comedy classic is entirely tame by contemporary standards, though some episodes do show the characters smoking or drinking. In one famous episode, Lucy gets more and more drunk as she films a commercial for Vegameatavitamin, showing alcohol consumption in a funny light. Also, old-fashioned family stereotypes (like the clueless housewife and the patronizing husband) form the basis of the show's narrative structure, and some racial stereotyping occurs, with Ricky's Cuban accent often becoming the butt of jokes.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the difference between families in the 1950s and today. What do kids notice was different in the '50s, as demonstrated by the show? How have things changed for the better (or the worse)? Specifically, how have the roles of women and minorities changed? What changes have parents been most affected by? Also, what makes Lucille Ball so funny?

The fuuniest show EVER!
Were to start? For one thing, it is extremely funny. Believe me, once your kids see this show, they will be able to distinguish true comedy from the crap that people call comedy today, especially on Disney Channel (e.g. Sonny With A Chance, Hannah Montana, The Suite Life On Deck, etc.). Another contributing factor is how well the acting is. All four actors are brilliant and the chemistry is definitely there. What I mean is that a lot of things that happen or have to do with the show also happen in real life. For example Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz are married in real life, so the love on the show is real. Also, in the show Ethel and Fred aren't exactly fans of each other, but that didn't take much acting because Vivian Vance and William Frawley hated each other in real life. Another plus is that in a lot of episodes there is singing, especially from Desi Arnaz (who is a very talented singer by the way). So all in all, this show is one of the greatest, if not the best, TV show of all time.

My FAVORITE Show Ever NO JOKE!!
I have seen every episode at least 5 times. I watch about 4 epeisodes a day. I cant get enough. I dont think that there is anything wrong with this show. I mean, younger kids might not understand some of the jokes because, mainly, they are out of 'style'. Also, some kids might not like the BandW...But I am 100% in
