Some of season three really does bring a smile to my face. The Burton episode, the musical extravaganzas (all seven of them!), the Harry-centric episodes (especially the one where Lucy and family convince him that he needs glasses) are prime examples. One of the things that really bother's me...
You've got to watch the documentary: Lucy Meets the Burtons: A Comedic Gem. It postulates that Lucy knew that she had been working with inferior scripts, and because of this she went to great lengths to secure the services of Madelyn Davis and Bob Carroll Jr. It really is a "warts and all"...
On a lighter note, Carole Cook's introductions are an absolute riot! You can't give these a miss. Funny, vain, over-the-top, Carole's a true star in these little vignettes.
Well, it's taken me until season three to realize that Here's Lucy is more variety/sitcom, than traditional laugh-fest! I'm up to episode 13 of the new set and it's almost a dance/sing-a-long sequence every other show. While this can be pleasing, the material wrapped around these musical...
Season Three is a huge turnaround for the program. The return of writer Madelyn Davis and Bob Carroll Jr. to the Lucy fold improves the series by leaps and bounds. The first two seasons have their chuckle moments, but for the most part it's been like watching paint dry. Lucy Meets the Burtons...
Judging by the new Death Race 2000 press release, it looks like Battle Beyond the Stars will indeed be getting a Blu Ray release!

I remember hearing that Disney was having trouble finding the original uncut elements, and thats what has delayed the title for so long. I don't know if they were able to restore it to it's original presentation.
I really wasn't surprised at how horrible this was. The producers went to great length's to distance their product from the movie and the source material, when they really should have embraced the campiness and comic fun inherent in the character.
International recording artist and industry legend Chaka Khan to release first new studio project in 10 years. FUNK THIS is a return to Chaka Khan's funky/R&B roots produced by hitmakers Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis. In stores on September 25 on Sony BMG/Burgundy Records. FUNK THIS contains...
I'm not sure about that, but the BBC has already produced a new version of Dracula in 2006 starring Marc Warren. It aired on PBS earlier this year and is already available on DVD.
It's a shame Warner didn't get the rights to the 1974 Here's Lucy episode, "Lucy Carter Meets Lucille Ball". In it, Kim enters a Lucille Ball look-alike contest, but does not make the finals. Lucy brings the matter to Lucille Ball herself, who insists that she and Kim be in the contest. Both...
This appears to be selling like hotcakes. It was sold out at 4 Best Buys I stopped at earlier this week. I finally ordered it from Amazon and it's been in their top 100 since release! Not bad for a 40 year old TV series. The marketing department a Paramount certainly thinks this is going to...
I believe AB were allowed to renew their rights to the William Lustig/Blue Underground package because Lustig felt they were of no futher commercial value. AB flooded the market with their cheap double features, and other countries started to exploit those same films. Lustig no longer had...
