Analysis Of I Love Lucy

	Lucille Ball has made significant and positive contributions to the country with her comedy. Many consider her America's best female actress. Kathleen Brady, in fact, says, "Lucille Ball is one of the greatest performing artists America has produced" (ix). Throughout her career, Ball has not only been a comedienne, but also a superb businesswoman, an excellent role model, and has won numerous awards.

The 1960’s was a decade filled with revolution across America, in the forms of both counterculture and pop culture. The second wave of feminism ran rampant, powered by Betty Friedan’s The Feminine Mystique. The role of the housewife began to be placed under the microscope and women started to wonder aloud whether they were truly happen being second-rate to their husbands. The television sitcoms of the 1960’s displayed this change in thinking, one sitcom specifically being I Dream of Jeannie. The plot of I Dream of Jeannie centered on an astronaut named Major Tony Nelson and his incidental discovery of a genie in a bottle. This genie, named Jeannie, saves Nelson from the island he is stranded on and she stows away in his luggage to follow

Throughout If Beale Street Could Talk by James Baldwin the main characters have to overcome the challenges of racism, and the traits that go hand and hand with it, justice and prejudice, to realize what they actually needed was the family love they already had. Even though there are many romantic and even some graphic passages in the book, Baldwin mainly focuses on how they had to come together as a family when Alonzo (Fonny) was in jail and awaiting trial. If Beale Street Could Talk is essentially a story about the human capacity to love.

There comes a time in the second act of Dear Evan Hansen when the sound of the audience's sniffles seem to overpower the sound radiating off stage. The Broadway Musical, Dear Evan Hansen, follows the anxiety driven title character as his lie about a close friendship with a classmate who killed himself spirals out of control. Under the advice of his doctor, he often writes letters to himself, hence, the title of the musical. What had initiated as an innocent misunderstanding soon becomes darker once he is pushed closer with the dead boy's parents and sister (whom he falls in love with). As a member of the show's audience last week, I can most definitely say that this show has changed my life; it has left of positive influence on the way I view the world, especially as a young adult.

The characters on The Andy Griffith Show had a small comedic side, but the show was about doing the right thing and good moral values. Andy was constantly thinking of the other person(s) and there was always a good lesson learned every episode. In one episode, Andy and Otis decided to switch Aunt Bea’s pickles with store bought pickles, as the ones she made were terrible and they did not want to hurt her feelings or their stomachs. I Love Lucy on the other hand was all about the comedy. Lucy was frequently trying to find a way to get stuff done in an odd matter. In one of the episodes we watched Lucy tried to get the answers to a radio show she signed them up for as she found out Desi was not as smart as he made himself seem.

The show that I decided to watch and analyze about the elderly was Everybody Loves Raymond. I choose Everybody Loves Raymond because it is very relatable and understanding. The show is based on an Italian family living in Long Island New York dealing with everyday life situations. the main character Raymond must deal with his everyday life while dealing with his elderly parents who live right across the street as well. today we see that there are many stereotypes when it comes to the elderly, stereotypes such as the elderly can’t remember things, they’re nosey, or that they know it all. In the show, we see that Raymond’s parents do fall into some of these stereotypes, but also, they do things that make us think that not all elderly people fall into these known stereotypes. We are so accustomed to leaving the elderly in places such as nursing homes whenever we feel like we have no need to take care of them anymore, or if they can’t seem to do things on their own. Raymond’s parents Marie and Frank are still able to do things on their own they still joke around and make fun of their kids. Even after retirement, and helping Raymond raise his kids, they still have Rob who lives with them. Even though their kids essentially make fun of their age, Marie and Frank somehow make the best out of situations.

After the alarm had been raised the girls returned to camp with no sign of Lucy. No one can find her. Lois was called into the camp counselor’s office, who then began to insinuate that Lois was involved in Lucy's disappearance. She asked Lois leading questions, seemingly in an underhanded attempt to get Lois to confess to either killing Lucy directly, or simply allowing her to die. Lois was not quite sure how to answer, and in her mind, the implied accusations follower her for the rest of her life. Soon after the meeting, Lois returned to the cabin she shared with Lucy, and saw that everything was just as she and Lucy had left it, merely waiting there until they both returned. She felt that people were constantly looking at her sideways, making silent accusations with their eyes, condemning

As most people know, the greatest, most heartfelt and thought-provoking sitcom of our generation is FOX's smash-hit comedy, Futurama. This is not a subjective opinion, but rather an objective fact. From the show's diverse and beloved cast of colorful characters to its zany sci-fi antics, Matt Groening's seven time Emmy-award winning cartoon has it all.

“The Fresh Prince of Bel Air” was a television show set in the early 1990s. It was written by Mattie Caruther and directed by Jeff Pollack. Pollack was also a producer for the show. It tells the story of Will Smith, who is sent to live with his wealthy family aunt, uncle and other relatives. Specifically sent to live in Bel-Air, California, Will’s mother sends him there because of the trouble he experienced living back home in Philadelphia.

For instance, a part of her even believes that the house is even haunted by it. Thus, she’s been in various relationships and questions the one she is in now. Nor does she know if she’s equip enough to be a mom to her boyfriend’s daughter. Especially since her mom did not lead a good example for her to follow. For this reason, Lucy represses her feelings about her mom and says how she “can’t recall ever being alone with my own mother in a car… she never left the house until she left for good” (252).

1. I Love Lucy, the show, is about the life of Lucy and Ricky Ricardo. Lucy is like a housewife in the 1950s in New York City. It is a comedy where it is about the daily life of a marriage. Where the couple are of different origins since her husband Ricky is Cuban and Lucy from US. The show inspires in a comic and different way since the difference between cultures is mixed as well as the role of man and woman. Lucy plays the role of a housewife where he longs to have a business or a race his ambitious was a life beyond domesticity where I create schemes and inventions to leave the kitchen. Although her husband Ricky was the one who was entertained in Tropicana Club where he play instrument. Ricky has the roll the man of the house.

The analysis of the first episode of Family Guy is important in that, as Winckler puts it, the pilot of any series is representative of the whole program (44). The general atmosphere, the characters introduced, and a few catchphrases set the tone of the sitcom. Some cutaway gags appear, cultural references are made and a few borderline jokes are told, thus categorizing the show as an adult series. The pilot truly embodies these characteristics that will remain the hallmarks of the show. In the case of Family Guy, the airing time also played a key role in the success of the sitcom, as the pilot was first broadcast right after Super Bowl XXXIII.

“Lucy, you've got some 'splaining to do!” If you are anything like me, you can hear Ricky Ricardo's iconic voice and as you express this most quotable line, you are impersonating Mr. Ricky Ricardo. I Love Lucy is one of the most legendary and most famous situation comedies of all time, maintaining its ability to appeal audience even half a century later. The television show follows the life of Lucy Ricardo (Lucille Ball), a goofy woman of the house in the 1950s as she attempts to break into show business. In attempts to do so, Lucy gets herself into crazy situations that she often tries to resolve before her husband, Ricky Ricardo (Desi Arnaz), comes home. This television show has transformed society as a whole. This television show pushed boundaries by having a bi-racial romantic relationship on television. In the 1950s, individuals would not have thought that a white woman and a Cuban man would be in a romantic relationship, especially on a television show. When Lucy gets pregnant, this situation is the first depiction of pregnancy on a television show. Pregnancy and sex are topics not often brought up in television shows back in the 1950s. Lucille Ball was not your average American homemaker. She set the platform for the proto-feminist lifestyle that us American women live in today.

BoJack Horseman is the main character in the animated sitcom BoJack Horseman. The show follows BoJack, an anthropomorphic horse, through his life as a washed-up actor living in Hollywood, or as the show calls it, Hollywoo.

BoJack’s depression, likely caused by his abusive childhood, manifests itself in his alcoholism, self-centeredness, and self-destructive behavior.
