On October/15th/1951, fifty years
ago next Monda, the first TV episode
of "I Love Lucy" went on the air.
Happy 50th Anniversary!

It was the first real TV "Sitcom" to achieve not only mass
popularity, but to influence other budding TV comedians [Like Carol Burnett, Mary Tyler Moore, etc...]
as well as up-and-coming "TV Sitcom" writers and producers.

Incidently, since this is a site for
Space topics, it is interesting to note
that the TV signals carrying that original "I Love Lucy" episode
will not only reach a milestone
distance of fifty light-years
from Earth, this coming Monday, but will have passed some 800 stars in the
process...Makes you think, huh?
