I knew that my wife was a fan when I married her. We all have to make compromises for the ones that we love. Now our two children are watching DVD's of "I Love Lucy". Specifically, my daughter with the broken leg is watching the show now while I do schoolwork.
Why do I loathe the show? I don't enjoy being around folk who act silly I guess. I do enjoy to talk silly, and a lot of my entertainment is silly, e.g. Monty Python. But Python's silliness always was subversive. The characters in "I Love Lucy" are acting out the stereotypes of the women with their roles and men with their roles. It is repetitive. It is boring in a loud way.
