11. I Love Lucy was always in the top three rankings
To say that Lucy’s first sitcom was a success is an understatement. In four out of the six seasons it aired, it was the most-watched show in the country. This show also managed to stay at the top of the Neilsen ratings the majority of the show’s run and remained there when it went off the air. I Love Lucy pulled in millions of viewers and maintained that stability through the show’s entire run. This is a pretty stellar accomplishment when you think about this time in American TV history as television was just starting to enter more households.
