I love lucy

The modern argument regarding this beloved show is expressed in our class materials through the works of Doyle Greene and Lori Landay. As discussed in class, each theorist agrees that the show had a tremendous following in the 1950s, but they sharply disagree upon the ideological representations of gender to be found in this sitcom. The difference here is stark, with Greene referring to the show’s famous comedienne as “pathetic,” while Landay refers to Lucy as “proto-feminist.” Both theorists make points that are grounded in the writing and presentation of the sitcom itself. And, both points of view are considered relevant today. For this essay, you will evaluate the episode we screened for class titled “The Schedule.” You’ll need to cite both Greene and Landay for your argument. Choose TWO scenes (from the same episode) for your analysis, one for each theorist. After reviewing your materials, please answer the following prompt in a minimum 750-word essay: How would Doyle Green interpret your chosen scene in I Love Lucy’s episode of “The Schedule?” Conversely, how would Lori Landay interpret your second scene? Which theorist do you think is more correct in their analysis of the show, and why? Be sure to include timestamps for your scenes, so I can watch them alongside your analysis
