"I Love Lucy" turns 60!
Yep, on October 15, 1951, the first episode of "I Love Lucy" aired. So, barring the end of the world, the show will be 60 years old in a dozen days. To celebrate, I vow to watch the entire first season this month, going through every episode of it. Why? I like '50s TV. Why not the whole run? I only have the complete 1st season. Some day, Alice, (Honeymooners reference) I am going to have one of the most complete DVD sets of '50s TV ever. But probably by that time, there will be something to replace DVD (cough Blu-Ray cough). Here's some stuff I want to get for it. The first season of "Leave It To Beaver" would be nice (I think it was 1957-8.) I wonder if it's even a box set. Anything that aired on the DuMont network would be really cool. In an episode of the Honeymooners, Ed watches Captain Video, which was on the DuMont network on that time, which is weird because the Honeymooners was on CBS. Too bad we don't see any Capt. Video footage.
