Whether it was Lucy and Ethel (Lucille Ball and Vivian Vance) or Eve Arden

as Miss Brooks, Gale Storm flaunting 1950s conventions as Margie, or Bea

Arthur as Maude, flaunting every convention about female behavior we could

think of, we all have our favorite funny ladies, who brought us laughter

every week, and, for a half-hour at least, took us away from our daily

problems. Classic TV expert Michael Karol, in a series of original essays,

examines the roles these Sitcom Queens played on TV, and how they became

the beloved TV icons of generation after generation of TV fans. Featuring

a sitcom timeline and a funny ladies Top Ten, plus a Foreword by Gale

Storm, an Introduction by Doris Singleton, and commentary by Larry Storch.
