Jenn McKinlay: There is no doubt in my mind that one of the reasons I write comedy is because as a kid I was one hundred percent smitten with Lucille Ball and the I Love Lucy show in particular.
So, it was amazing but not surprising to discover that today October 15th is National I Love Lucy Day! Woo hoo!!!
The writer in me learned so much about comic timing, slapstick humor, and quick wit by watching this show in reruns after school. But I also learned about the value of friendship, looking at life with an optimist's eye, and that humor really can get you through the darkest of days. Lucy was a role model for me then and now.
Naturally, I spent an afternoon revisiting this classic show and there were so many iconic moments to choose from, but here are three of my favorites:
The Chocolate Factory
Stomping Grapes
Harpo Comes to Visit
What about you, Reds and Readers? What is your favorite I Love Lucy moment?
