- StarsLucille BallDesi ArnazVivian VanceThe wife of a band leader constantly tries to become a star - in spite of her having no talent, and gets herself (along with her best friend) into the funniest predicaments.Not the first sitcom, but definitely the earliest one to still be copied to this day, and for good reason.
- CreatorJackie GleasonStarsJackie GleasonArt CarneyAudrey MeadowsA bus driver and his sewer worker friend struggle to strike it rich while their wives look on with weary patience.I know I probably shouldn't laugh as hard as I do every time I hear "Hello, ball!" God help me, I do.
