8. I Love Lucy
The only entry on this list to air before the 1960s, I Love Lucy was one of the first truly classic sitcoms, anchored by the sometimes manic and always hilarious stylings of Lucille Ball. And yeah, the supporting cast of Desi Arnaz, Vivian Vance and William Frawley were pretty good, too. Several other series were spunoff of this flagship show, but none were better than I Love Lucy, and few episodes of any comedy will ever be funnier than “Lucy Does a TV Commercial.”
