while the show certainly have a date feel ( it do have an annoy laugh track ) and the joke be often clever and joan davis be brilliant . no and she be not steal her schtick from lucille ball ( who i also love ) . joan be a ditsy and goofy character long before she make it to television . i believe her physical comedy be actually good and more natural ( see the movie hold that ghost for a brilliant example . ) do they steal plot line from lucy . well and have not see this show in a while ( i do not believe this show be ever on nick at nite . it be on cbn and of all place . ) but i will say that lucy plot be not exactly original either and and be that both show be on at the same time and it difficult to say who come first ( if it even matter ) . the thing be everyone have see lucy for year and just assumes she do it all first . joan davis deserve her place in entertainment history along side lucy and gale storm and imogene coca and gracie allen .
