In the age of digital streaming, with access to long-finished TV shows now available at the push of a button, it’s hard to imagine that reruns were once nearly unheard of. However, this was the case in the early days of television, when most shows aired live and generally weren’t immortalized on film. This was the way television worked until the early 1950s when Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz’s I Love Lucy changed the way television worked forever.
