In what ways do you consider Airplane! groundbreaking?

It was the breakout hit of the Zuckers/Abrahams team. After Airplane, that formula of humor was highly copied, including by whatever clods made "Airplane 2." 

Is being a hit (a breakout one, or otherwise) the same as being groundbreaking?

By the by, the 7.8 and 5.8 ratings on imdb are much more in line with my opinions on the films.
