Not only is I Love Lucy considered to be one of the best sitcoms in history, the forward-thinking of Ball and Arnaz revolutionized how television is made on multiple levels. The story of an inter-cultural married couple, not to mention the world’s first pregnancy announcement (and birth) on television is just part of why this sitcom, that premiered 70 years ago, is still relevant today.
Among the most enduring TV sitcoms of all time, “Bewitched” remains beloved nearly sixty years after its debut. The series lead, Elizabeth Montgomery, was a complex, strong-willed woman whose life and career became an ongoing quest for love and recognition she never received from her movie star father. Bewitched became one of television’s biggest hits during the turbulent 1960s, a time that was symbolic of the series’ behind-the-scenes turmoil. Bewitched’s magic became an escape from the era’s political assassinations, race riots, and counterculture. In the midst of it all, Elizabeth received death threats for protesting the Vietnam War, having “two Darrins” became controversial and threw the show into turmoil, and rumored on-set affairs threatened to derail ABC’s cash cow. Following Bewitched, Elizabeth unexpectedly received another wave of fame, becoming the small screen’s first “Queen of the TV-Movies” with groundbreaking films like A Case of Rape and The Legend of Lizzie Borden. She eventually marries a fourth and final time, to actor Robert Foxworth, and dies too soon at only 62, from colon cancer. But like Lucille Ball before her, Elizabeth becomes an influential Hollywood female powerhouse, a trailblazer who continues to bewitch millions of TV viewers around the world.
Lucille Ball didn’t just make millions of people laugh uproariously. She blazed a whole new path for women in the entertainment industry that still resonates today. Her bravery and willingness to try absolutely anything to elicit a chuckle changed the rules of television. Comediennes Carol Burnett, Lily Tomlin, Debra Messing and Suzanne Somers reveal to us how they were uniquely inspired by Lucy’s comic genius. But simply being funny was never enough for her. The shrewd, enterprising redhead—whose drama-filled personal life was constantly at odds with her public persona—struggled against a system created by men, all the while cementing her legacy by building an entertainment empire that would transform Hollywood as we know it.
During seven years of cheesecake, slut-shaming and massive laughs, The Golden Girls was TV’s unlikeliest smash hit. Pairing three beyond-seasoned TV pros and one small-screen newbie with impeccable writing resulted in a sitcom that was as progressive as it was hilarious. Still, the very real drama behind the camera was worthy of its very own studio audience, and only now—with the show enjoying a major pop-culture revival—are we learning just how daunting the ride really was.
Forty-five years after it first sailed into living rooms and made Saturday night TV synonymous with romance, camp and high-seas hijinks, The Love Boat still inspires a surprisingly fierce nostalgia that just won’t quit.
One of the most beloved sitcoms of the 80s and 90s didn’t start off that way – after its 1982 premiere, Cheers was on the chopping block for NBC, as it ranked nearly last in the ratings. Due to a loyal – and growing - fan base, who was eager to see the ups and downs of the first “will they or won’t they” couple, Sam and Diane, the series eventually grew to a top-ten certified hit for eight of its 11 seasons. Cheers spent one season at number one and became one of the most popular series in history; its series finale was watched by an estimated 93 million viewers. We take a close and intimate look at the early days of Cheers, the shock and awe of Shelly Long’s decision to leave the series during its heyday, the casting of unique and memorable characters, and how Cheers became a true destination for anyone who wanted to go “where everybody knows your name.”
