If you are somebody that enjoys watching television, then you likely have a favorite show that you have followed, perhaps even for many years. Some of those shows are quite funny and they can keep you laughing if you allow them to do so. Perhaps we think about Seinfeld, Everybody Loves Raymond, or any number of different shows when it comes to comedy but sometimes, it also helps to look back at the classics as well. Although the show may have been off the air for decades, it still gives us the opportunity to laugh if we allow it to do so.
One of the shows that have been around in reruns for many years is I Love Lucy. It’s a classic television show that has a lot of humor behind it. Perhaps you may feel as if this show is a little outdated but when you see the humor within it, you realize that it is actually timeless. Lucille Ball was more than a comedian, she was an actress and a businesswoman who was really ahead of her time when it came to her Hollywood career. The television show was on during the 1950s and if you haven’t watched it recently, it’s worth giving it a try.
More than likely, you can remember a scene or two from I Love Lucy that makes you smile. Some of them have become classics and have even been imitated in online videos in recent years. Although there are many of those funny moments, one of the classic scenes is when Lucille Ball and her neighbor were working in a chocolate factory. Watching them try to keep up with the chocolates as they pass by on the conveyor belt is beyond funny.
Unfortunately, humor has taken quite a turn in recent years and these old classics just don’t seem to be as funny for many people. When you have a scene such as this one from I Love Lucy, however, it is worth sharing with your children so that they can appreciate that our grandparents and our grandparent’s parents understood humor very well.
