[QUOTE="Jimmy Todd, post: 273617, member: 3926"] We could add Hazel to the list, which if based on the few episodes I have seen, could be very amusing. I agree with [USER=5079]@Crimson[/USER] that none of these shows, imho, were laugh out loud funny. Amusing and comfortable at their best. I Love Lucy was very, very funny, but it had a more subversive edge than the others. It was a sitcom about a modern woman trapped in a 1950's scenario trying to break free of it. Even Ethel and Fred's relationship had an edge because of all the implications that they had an unfulfilling sex life. The romance was only rekindled when they were on that ship to Europe and it was heavily implied they were really getting it on. Keep in mind this was the '50's [/QUOTE]
