The Simpsons were originally a set of cartoon shorts on the Tracy Ullman Show, with essentially a standard family sitcom scenario of a dense husband, the smarter wife, and two kids who are meant to be smarter than the adults, as has been repeated in other comedies over the decades. What does this have to do with I Love Lucy? Homer Simpson, the husband, would end up becoming TOO stupid and alienating the fans. Similarly, Lucy Ricardo would become too much herself.
The show had the original scenario of Lucy and Ricky Ricardo, the latter a Cuban immigrant who runs a musical band for a living, living in an apartment building next to their elderly neighbors the Mertzes. Lucy would get into a number of scrapes and would end up being bailed out by the others, often to their consternation. Later on in the series, Lucy and Ricky would end up having a baby son.
The show started well enough, but as time went on, Lucy would get into more and more ridiculous scrapes causing more and more headaches for everyone else, even making her husband think she was in mortal danger and causing him to panic, or trying to join his band as a singer when she couldn't sing. Lucy would evolve from being comical to becoming genuinely annoying. No shock that my elder sister did not love Lucy.
