I Love Lucy, the theme song for the hit comedy TV series was first written as an instrumental by Harold Adamson. He later added the lyrics sung by Desi Arnaz in the episode "Lucy's Last Birthday". There are many TV shows featuring a female lead, such as Gidget, Hazel, Jeannie, and Maude. But the most well known is Lucy! Staring in her own show, Lucile Ball became the iconic female lead for TV sit-com comedy. The original show ran from 1951 to 1957 and continued in various forms until 1960 and it can probably be seen today as it lives on in reruns.
