I suspect that you and Not_Discerning are mistaking "overrated" for "I have no idea where it stood when it was current, but we don't like it now". You both probably dislike the Red Skelton Show, too.
As E/O said earlier, Feh.
I have no idea what "feh" means, but the pure sound of it adequately captures my feelings for such a dismissal of Lucy or Ralph. I suppose the Wright Brothers' plane was pretty much a piece of crap by today's standards, too, but, when we rate its importance and meaning and significance, we don't expect it to race the Concord to Paris. We look to it in context, in its own context. Lucy and Ralph both brought an entirely new and untested mode of comedy to the masses, and they did it well.
Again, Feh.
