Great Choice!

This was a great selection to purchase. I am a die hard Lucy Fan and I have enjoyed this DVD since I received it. A lot of reviews say the sound and quality is bad, but my dvd's are excellent. No complaints. October 31, 2008

Nice Introduction to the Classic 1960s Comedy Series

This boxed set from St. Clair Vision includes 30 episodes from the long-running comedy series Ms. Ball made after marriage to Desi Arnaz dissolved. The series' premise evolved over at the years. At first, Lucy Carmichael (Ball) was a widowed mother of two sharing a house in Connecticut with her divorced friend Viv Bagley (Vivian Vance) and her children. In the second season, Lucy took a job as the secretary for stuffed shirt bank manager Theodore Mooney (Gale Gordon) and, two years later, she moved to California with Mr. Mooney, shucking her kids and the rest of the cast in the process. The emphasis was on Lucy's own brand of slapstick humor and frequently featured bizarre situations or first-rate co-stars - and frequently both. These shows include two black-and-white episodes from the first season, but most of the episodes come from Season Five and Six when the show was produced in color.

Episodes included in this three-disk boxed set are:

Lucy the Starmaker (Season 6, Episode 4)
Lucy Meets Robert Goulet (6.8)
Lucy Gets a Roommate (5.7)
Lucy and Carol Burnett in Palm Springs (5.8)
Main Street U.S.A. (5.17)
Lucy Gets Jack Benny's Account (6.6)
Lucy's Barbershop Quartet (1.19)
Lucy and Viv Put in a Shower (1.18)
Lucy and the Substitute Secretary (5.14)
Lucy and the French Movie Star (6.3)
Lucy Meets John Wayne (5.10)
Lucy and the Fight Manager (5.20)
Lucy and Paul Winchell (5.4)
Lucy Flies to London (5.6)
Lucy Meets Sheldon Leonard (5.22)
Lucy and the Efficiency Expert (5.13)
Lucy and the Monkey (aka Mooney the Monkey) (5.12)
Lucy and the Ring-a-Ding Ring (5.5)
Lucy Meets Tennessee Ernie Ford (5.21)
Lucy Gets Caught in the Draft (5.9)
Lucy and George Burns (5.1)
Lucy Meets the Berles (6.2)
Lucy the Bean Queen (5.3)
Lucy Meets the Law (5.19)
Lucy Gets Trapped (6.2)
Lucy, the Babysitter (5.16)
Lucy Meets Pat Collins (5.11)
Little Old Lucy (6.7)
Viv Visits Lucy (5.15)
Lucy and the Submarine (5.2)

Most of the episodes can be found in other budget offerings, but St. Claire Vision offers the most programs from this series in one spot that I've ever seen - and for a very reasonable price. The audio and video ranges in quality from very good to excellent.

As a bonus, clips of three radio programs starring Lucille Ball are included: episodes from "My Favorite Husband (6/4/1950 and 6/11/1950) and Lux Radio Theater (9/10/1951) October 7, 2008

Not Enough "Viv"

Lucy is excellent,as always, but somehow, the episodes excluding her longtime "co-hort" Vivan Vance (unfortunately, with this set, this constitutes the majority), appear somewhat flat and lifeless....let's face it, "Lucy" without "Ethel/Viv" is like a peanut butter and jelly sandwich....without the jelly.

Good Lucy

My only complaint is that there are only a couple episodes with Vivian Vance in them. I love Lucy and Vivian together, so that was a little disappointing. March 24, 2008

If you can't afford Complete Seasons of Lucy, get this...

My wife and I are huge fans of Lucy, but the "I Love Lucy" DVD sets were too expensive and the show is frequently shown on TVLand anyway. So, to see more of Lucy, at a reasonable price, I bought this DVD set of "The Lucy Show." You get 30 episodes of hilarity, with Gale Gordan playing Mr. Mooney, Lucy's boss, and her old pal Vivian Vance returning as Lucy's friend. Many 60's T.V. and Movie stars make appearances. The episodes on DVD haven't been enhanced, but they are quite watchable. February 17, 2008
