If you have Hulu, watch I Love Lucy "Job Switching" (season 2, episode 4). There are many great I Love Lucy episodes, but this is one of my favorites. It also showcases how Lucy, Ricky, Fred and Ethel all try to define the stereotypes of men and women in the 1950s before reverting back to them. Plus, it's a show that 70 years later, is still funny.
