The game's question
Take turns reading the story, sentence by sentence, and pause whenever a picture comes back.
Picture the whole family on the couch, laughing so hard that someone had to turn the volume up. On the screen: “I Love Lucy,” on CBS. Week after week, households tuned in. Here is what people say: in the 1950s, “I Love Lucy” was the most-watched show in the country for four seasons, between 1952 and 1957. Decide together: is that true?
- True
- Not true
- Just one season at the top
Need a hint?
Picture the living room on Lucy’s night: who sat where, who laughed the loudest. Then think of how many years that show kept your family laughing.
See the answer
Answer: True—No. 1 for four seasons on CBS: 1952–53, 1953–54, 1954–55, and 1956–57.
Why this game : A show the whole country laughed at brings back evenings at home: the couch, the TV set, and who laughed the loudest.
