In "Tape and Record Show" episode 141, Lucille Ball introduced the "sitcom" section of the special. If she'd have been given a clue of all the clips in the segment she hosted, would she have "approved" the clips from "The Andy Griffith Show" and "My Three Sons", since they didn't start until 1960? I've spoken to someone who actually had interaction with Lucy, so I'll be asking him what he thinks eventually.
