I Love Lucy is an American television sitcom that originally aired on CBS from October 15, , to May 6, , with a total of half-hour episodes spanning six seasons including the "lost" original pilot and Christmas episode. It followed the life of Lucy Ricardo Ball , a young middle-class housewife in New York City, who either concocted plans with her best friends Ethel and Fred Mertz Vance and Frawley to appear alongside her bandleader husband Ricky Ricardo Arnaz in his nightclub, or tried numerous schemes to mingle with, or be a part of show business. After the series ended in , a modified version continued for three more seasons with 13 one-hour specials; it ran from to I Love Lucy became the most-watched show in the United States in four of its six seasons, and it was the first to end its run at the top of the Nielsen ratings an accomplishment later matched only by The Andy Griffith Show in and Seinfeld in The show, which was the first scripted television program to be shot on 35mm film in front of a studio audience, by cinematographer Karl Freund , won five Emmy Awards and received numerous nominations and honors. It was the first show ever to feature an ensemble cast. The Ricardos' best friends, Fred and Ethel, are former vaudevillians and this only strengthens Lucy's resolve to prove herself as a performer. Unfortunately, she has few marketable performance skills. She does not seem to be able to carry a tune or play anything other than off-key renditions of songs such as " Glow Worm " on the saxophone , and many of her performances devolve into disaster. However, to say she is completely without talent would be untrue, as on occasion, she is shown to be a good dancer and a competent singer.
