The show aired for 6 seasons. “So the Arnazes not only invented reruns, but the whole second-run syndication market as well. It 's one reason why "I Love Lucy" has never gone off the air in 60 years, enabling several generations to fall in love with Lucy.” [1]

People were more friendly, caring, giving, and honestly wanted to do what was right. Barney, Opie and Lucy sometimes let their minds get ahead of them but they honestly always had the best intentions in mind. Just like Lucy, Opie had his friends who thought his ideas weren’t necessarily wrong and that good intentions would take care of the ending result. Their wrongs were always made right and their problems were always fixed. For the most part both shows did not have a running storyline, except when Lucy was pregnant, and there was a conclusion at the end of each episode. Opie had a good relationship with his father ‘Pa’, and when he got in over his head he always could talk to him. Lucy had a good relationship with Ricky and even though she usually didn’t tell him her troubles, he was always there to bail her out of her many complications. Both shows have a comedic nature, and are never filled with dirty humor or anything questionable. They are both shows your children could watch without having to worry about what they might hear or learn in the show. Both Ricky and Andy had to overcome obstacles that were uncommon for their day. Ricky was in an interracial marriage, and wasn’t really used to the culture of New York. Andy was a single parent, even though he was a widower, it wasn’t common to see single parents during that time. Both shows have made their way on the top 10 list of shows for their

    One of the most common setbacks for the show was showing common sins such as lying and stealing occasionally. In the words of John Melhorn, the pastor of Faith Brethren in Christ Church, “The heroes often resort to lying or deceit or some other "sin," yet we are to admire them. After all, they are the hero.” Throughout the years it is a truly fabulous show that is still “craved” and “needed”, with it’s marvelous perseverance that has had viewers hooked on trying to figure out “What will happen to ‘Andy’ next?”. Nowadays as generations are growing up, less and less of the population know about the show and the context at which it is talking in.

I love Lucy takes place in New York, which is much faster paced and has a totally different style of living. I love Lucy is highlighted by Lucy’s attempts to intervene in the show business where Ricky has become successful. I believe the timeframe in which these shows were shot also plays a big role in differences.

    With time, the scenes became brighter, slowly and gradually throughout Andy’s stay at Shawshank. Andy brought hope to the prison and we began seeing and feeling this throughout the film with the use of lighting. This can be best exemplified by the well-known rooftop scene, where Andy “buys” some of his fellow inmates a moment of freedom. As they sipped a cold beer on a hot spring day in 1949, they tasted the freedom and hope that they craved ever so much, and this was all thanks to Andy. We could see the mood change through the lighting, as it was a spring day.
