"I love Lucy" aired on US TV on this day in 1951.    

It was the most popular situation comedy TV show of its day.    In fact, 72% of US household watched the episode when Lucy went to the hospital to give birth to Little Ricky.

The plot was different or a Cuban bandleader in New York married to one of the craziest housewives in the planet.    Add to that Fred & Ethel and you had all of the ingredients for a very funny episode.

"I love Lucy" lives on thanks to reruns and very funny episodes.   I think that I've seen all!
