I love Lucy!! I can watch all the episodes over and over and over again. Never get sick of watching them.
Some favorite episodes:

But when the Ricardos continue singing after Fred and Ethel go back downstairs to their apartment, the Mertzes, as landlords, decide that the Ricardos' merrymaking has gone too far. This leads to a battle between the couples: the Ricardos try to break their lease, while the Mertzes resist.

Fred and Ethel then point out that they need to make it clear that it is Ricky the customers want to see.
