LOL! You ARE an old Scrooge! (but I'm older and scroogier) Actually, I
think you needed to be from at least 1-2 generations earlier to really like
"I Love Lucy". Once in a while I really enjoy seeing a few of the old
original shows. I thought "Friends" was kinda cute for a while, but it
wore very thin. "Seinfeld" I had to be in the mood for, but thought was
very funny. I think I'm just not that much into comedy.
