Probably I Love Lucy since it changed the format for all sitcoms and was so mega-popular.
From Facebook commenter Larry Carstens:
Allyson Lolly Blackburn Good point, and we might add that if not for Desilu, there wouldnโt have been Star Trek.

From Facebook commenter Nathaniel Sharir:
In my opinion, Saturday Night Live! Many established performers and comedy writers got their start there. The long-running show has provided an outlet for well-known and underground musicians to get exposure and promote their releases. Saturday Night Live has also impacted YouTube as an outlet for people to see sketches, performances, and short films that aired during the live broadcasts. The Lonely Island, in particular, grew more fans through YouTube. Saturday Night Live impacted politics, sports awareness, music, and more over the years and still continues to!
