For a child the best from that era was The Rocky and Bulwinkle Show with the Wayback Machine and Fractured Fairy Tales.
I thought the Danny Thomas Show, Dobie Gillis, and Beverly Hillbillies were better than Griffith and Lucy. However, Griffith and Lucy did have some great episodes thanks to Fred, Barney, and Gomer.

I always preferred the Honeymooners when it comes to that era.

Can't speak to I Love Lucy specially, but it does come from an age of TV that was far better than most folks know. Better writing, for sure, than what you'll see on The CW.

That’s because him and the lady who played his wife absolutely hated each other IRL so they loved to put the other one down on the show.

The challenge for it and any other 50's - 80's sitcoms are young people haven't watched them and won't acknowledge them.

If you grew up in the 80s and played hooky from school, then you grew up on I Love Lucy.
Morning weekday TV was I Love Lucy, Bewitched, Flying Nun, some Andy Griffith and the Six Million Dollar Man.
I Love Lucy was morning rerun TV, so a lot of people never saw it if they weren't a product of its original run and 50 years old.
But they would show it back to back to back to back episodes in the morning during the 80s if you were home sick. That's the only way you really saw it back then.

That's the same era to me, maybe I'm young. I only watched black and white Andy Griffith
Not everything that’s black and white is from the same era :)

Always liked Get Smart the most out of those old shows.

No. It's Fawlty Towers, and it's not even close.

I love the Honeymooners a helluva lot more than Lucy.

I can’t say that I’ve so much as cracked a smile at any episode of this series.
Maybe everything they did that was unique has become a trope. In today’s era, the punchlines are brutally predictable.
