‘I Love Lucy’ Turns 60: Five Classic Lucy Moments

60 years ago today, the classic sitcom "I Love Lucy" premiered on CBS. The show made stars out of Lucille Ball and her real life husband, Desi Arnaz, and to this day it's one of the most beloved shows in television history-and it's still on the air!

So what made "Lucy" stand out? The story of a wacky housewife and her dashing Cuban husband wasn't a typical sitcom premise back in the 1950s, but audiences loved it and Lucy has managed to stand the test time.

Earlier this year, the 100^th anniversary of Lucille Ball's birth was remembered, meaning she was 40 years old when her sitcom premiered on October 15, 1951.

As we remember the debut of "I Love Lucy," here are five of the show's most memorable moments:

"Job Switching"

Lucy and Ethel switched jobs with their hubbies in the show's second season-and found that working outside the home wasn't all it was cracked up to be. While Lucy and her BFF Ethel were wreaking havoc at a candy factory, Ricky and Fred were destroying Lucy's kitchen-with an exploding pot of rice and a flying chicken.

"Lucy Is Enceinte"

What a difference six decades makes! Back in 1952, the word "pregnant" wasn't allowed on TV. But, somehow, Lucy had to tell her TV husband that she was "expecting." Enter a nightclub note and a serenade before Ricky figured out the proud papa was…him! The birth of the Arnaz' real life son, Desi Jr., was immortalized in 1953 when Lucy's TV character also gave birth to a baby boy.

"Lucy Does a TV Commercial'

Who can forget a drunken Lucy as she peddled "Vitameatavegamin," a vitamin drink that, unbeknownst to her, was 23 percent alcohol? This episode was Lucille Ball at her comic genius finest and is still one of the most remembered episodes of all time.

"Lucy's Italian Movie"

Ah, the Europe episodes! Lucy landed a role in the Italian movie, "Bitter Grapes, " but she had a little prep work to do. She took on a grape-stomping job to prepare for the role, but instead turned it into sour grapes when she got into a messy, purple fight with the head grape stomper.

"Lucy Meets Harpo Marx"

In this episode, Lucy came face to face with the legendary Harpo Marx-- while she was inadvertently dressed up like him (long story, but she was really trying to trick that meddling Carolyn Appleby). Lucy and Harpo proceeded to engage in a hilarious mirror routine, which has become one of the most classic "I Love Lucy" scenes of all time.
