I
Love Lucy was an immediate smash hit and during
its six years in originals, never ranked lower
than third in popularity among all television
programs. The plots, by series creator and producer
Jess Oppenheimer and writers Madelyn Pugh and
Bob Carroll, Jr., were superb, the gags were
inventive, and Lucy's clowning the piece de
resistance that took I Love Lucy beyond the
realm of other contemporary comedies. As wacky
as she was, audiences could emphathize with
and adore her.
