I Married Joan
I Married Joan
Was a 50's sitcom starring Joan Davis with Jim Backus as her husband. Sorta of a poor's woman's version of I LOVE LUCY. Any comments on Joan, or Lucy ?

Hi,
"I Married Joan" is very special to me because my grandmother was a good friend of Joan Davis and helped produce this show.
She helped produce "The Loretta Young Show" and "The Martha Raye Show" too but around 1956 had a falling out with LY and MR, but remained on very good terms with Joan Davis, until Joan died in '61.....
I always thought this show was better than Lucy, but upon seeing some reruns a decade ago, it wasn't that great. Lucy's show isn't that great anymore either. They're bother rather juvenile and pedestrian.
A friend of mine saw a few episodes of "I Love Lucy" on TV about a month ago and said, "She needed to be slapped" and "That Latin idiot can't sing worth s--t!!"......
So much for nostalgia...
