I love Lucy for many reasons.
First of all Lucy was fucking brilliant, and laid the groundwork for what a sitcom is, and should be till this day.
Lucy was the first woman to own her own studio.
Lucy and Desi came up with the whole idea of syndication to begin with. Everybody after gets residuals because of her, and everyone before gets SQUAT.
As far as legend in the industry and ground breakers go it's Lucy all the way.
To this day it is still the number one syndicated show around the world.
Married with Children is one of my favorites, and there is something to be said for a show, (and the Simpsons) that were solely responsible for launching an entire network.
But even that kind of comedy, wouldn't have been possible without :
All in the Family.
