Badass Birthday
On this date, 75 years ago, in 1951, the greatest sitcom of all time was "born": I Love Lucy!
That night, 75 years ago, was the first look the world got Lucy, Fred, Ethel, and Ricky. And from that beginning, we got the chocolate conveyer belt, Vitameatavegimin, grape crushing in a vat, the loaf of bread the length of the kitchen, getting locked in a freezer, the tango dance with several dozen eggs in a shirt, stealing John Wayne's footprints, stopping the train three times, missing the boat to Europe and having to be helicoptered onto it, and of course, the birth of Little Ricky.
The 7 seasons of this shows made the foundation, set the ground rules, and still stands head and shoulders above all the sitcoms that have come since.
I Love Lucy...badass after all these years!
