The Lucy Show - The Lost Episodes Marathon [DVD]

It arrived a lot earlier than I thought it would, which is great because we need it for christmas! It sounds like there may be a disc loose, but it's ok.

Lucille Ball's second TV Show "The Lucy Show" doesn't seem to come close to her first, the extremely popular "I Love Lucy", in amount of reruns syndicated on television. This is a shame since the quality of the two shows are very similar. In the series, Lucy stars as Lucy Carmichael, a zany secretary working in a Hollywood bank for her stodgy boss, Mr. Mooney. Lucy's less-than-efficient secretarial skills and wacky hijacks frequently infuriate her boss, but somehow she is loyal to him not matter what. The five episodes included in this DVD feature some famous guest stars including Carol Burnette (playing Lucy's librarian roommate Carol), and John Wayne, Milton Berle, Ruta Lee, and George Burns. Like in "I Love Lucy", Lucille's character fawning over the movie stars is very amusing and even though the series was made a decade after "I Love Lucy", she still does much of her physical comedy pretty well. The picture quality of the episodes is not the best and the menu navigation for the DVD is somewhat confusing, but those problems are not bad enough to distract from the shows. While its not quite as good as Lucy's first show, it's still a great show and worth a look if you enjoy "I Love Lucy" or Lucille Ball.

A gift for our daughter who is beginning to love the "old" shows that were not on in her lifetime!

This DVD from Delta is by far the worst video and audio quality i have ever seen on any DVD. Please do not waste your time and money. I do not understand how the other reviewer could have given this 4 stars. I wish i could give it 0 stars!

Hi Folks! I am a big fan of Lucille Ball, so when I saw this listing for "Lost Episodes" of the Lucy Show (and on DVD too), I was quick to order. As a fan of Lucille Ball, I was looking forward to receiving this new release of "Lost Episodes" on DVD. Unfortunately, what I received was a DVD with 5 regular season episodes from the "Lucy Show". These are not lost by any means, in fact I own the VHS versions of them all already. If you don't already own these previously released favorites on VHS, or have not seen them on repeat after repeat on TV, then you will certainly enjoy this collection which contains the following 5 "NOT lost" episodes: Lucy Gets A Roommate (Episode 114 with Carol Burnett), Lucy & Carol in Palm Springs (#115), Lucy Meets John Wayne (#119), Lucy w/ George Burns (#111) and Lucy Meets The Berles (#137). All of these are very funny episodes, but alas I say again - not lost!

lucy fan but have not watch it yet.

Love Lucy

Being only 22 and from the UK I don't remember this show from the first time around, just from the repeats played on cable during school breaks. Lucy's humor is much tamer than anything else that was on TV 10 years ago (even the cartoons) but you can't help but roll around laughing with every episode. The first episode starts off slow and the menu is trial and error to find, but you will get hooked. I've come back for more, but the reviews of the other DVD's has put me off so I'll be waiting till June for the "I Love Lucy" DVD's. I'd say the quality of this one is v.good though for something filmed in the 60's, I strongley recommend it. Especially the one with George Burns.

Todo bien no hay nada que decir malo sobre el producto

Lucy Ball eine der besten Komikerinnen der 50er und 60er. Einfach Spitze, zwar in Englisch aber Super. RTL hat diese mal gebracht leider wird diese Serie nicht im Programm aufgenommen.
