It May Look Like a Living Room?: The Musical Number and the Sitcom   (2003)   Robynn Stilwell     
I Love Lucy (1951-1957) and The Dick Van Dyke Show (1961-1966) present musical numbers in quite different ways, and although their "situations" were more amenable to the insertion of musical performance than other sitcoms, the musical number was and still is a common feature of the sitcom genre.
