    Life With Elizabeth:

    This delightful comedy features Betty White and Del Moore as Elizabeth and Alvin, newlyweds who are just starting their lives together.

This early situation style comedy showcased White and gave its audience a glimpse of the talent she would reveal on "The Mary Tyler Moore Show" and "The Golden Girls".

    I'm a huge I Love Lucy fan and after watching a few Lucille ball movies I realized, I'm a huge Lucy fan altogether. I'm 26 so I did not grow up with Lucy at all (minus the re-runs on Nick at Night). All of these shows are really funny and the bonus disk of Life with Elizabeth were all really funny too. I never heard of that show until now. I will actually look forward to ordering some of those shows as well. It is quite disappointing that they don't sell the entir Lucy Show seasons... I wonder why. This is the only set I could find with the most shows on it. I'd love to order the entire seasons. It's not restored. It's not HD TV but who cares. It doesn't matter, HD TV is just something the world doesn't need. It still plays wonderfully. I recommend this to ANY Lucy fan!!! Amazing price and as always Excellent service from Amazon!!!

    Luckily I picked up the Best of Lucy and Friends for $5 at Walmart in a discount bin. It was the only copy so I grabbed it. The first disc doesn't even play. It got through most of the first episode then it refused to play. I put it in another new DVD player and it did the same thing, which is a shame because I do enjoy this show. Luckily, the other discs play fine, so far. The picture isn't too great but I didn't expect it to be pristine, with the DVD being so cheap. What I really enjoyed was the bonus feature 6 episodes of "Life With Elizabeth" with Betty White on Disc 4. I had never seen this show before & enjoyed it very much. This disc played perfectly and I had no problems with it at all. Hopefully, you'll have better luck with your discs than I had.

    My 9 and 16 year old sons (and me and my wife) enjoyed watching these with my mother-in-law. I got it for her for Christmas because she's a true Lucy fan. The boys were laughing out loud at some of the scenes. A good value, though it's a very bare-bones set of DVDs. January 1, 2008

    rating: 5 QuoteThe Lucy ShowQuote
    This is the best collection of all 30 public domain episodes out there.
    The quality and sound are also the best that I've seen with these episodes on dvd. I would suggest any Lucy Fan purchase this!! Maybe it will suggest to the Powers that Be, that fans want complete season releases of The Lucy Show. July 28, 2007
