I'm thrilled by this news. I hope this pace continues for the rest of the series. This is great!

I wonder when the next "Lucille Ball Specials" dvd will be released. Either way, I'm so excited to have the first 2 seasons of "Here's Lucy" coming out on dvd. Soon, most of Lucille Ball's tv work will be available for us to own.

Great news!   I really like the 4-episode story that opens season 2. I hope they keep up this pace as well and we might have the whole series by the end of next year or shortly after.

Great pace for releases Best Buy seems to have the best price on this series so far usually $19.99 a season.

I just hope sales go well for the show, I want all the seasons badly.

I just feel like I am the only person purchasing the show haha.

Well, I don't even like the show and I'm purchasing it.  I buy it because it's Lucy and to suppoort classic series on dvd and to support MPI. 

I too hope they keep up the pace.

Funny, I didn't think there was much excitement for this release either. There wasn't much fanfare about it online, not many posts on message boards, etc. But it really is a wonderful set. Very nicely put together and exquisitely remastered. MPI has committed to releasing the entire series. They have promos on their dvds advertising for the complete series. It's just too bad these are not more available in stores. I think sales would be better for MPI if they were.

I think "Lucy Calls The President" is their next planned Lucy release, sometime early 2010. Maybe we will hear an official announcement for that one soon.

I love this series, too! I've had so many laugh out loud moments while watching the first set. I love the episode where Lucy wreaks havoc in the supermarket while showing Kim how to pick the right products, or when Lucy is looking for the stolen diamond bracelet in the cocktail sauce, or "helping" Harry fix the electricity in his house. Even some less memorable episodes, have some brilliant Lucy moments.
I went to Best Buy yesterday to get season 2, but they didn't have it in stock. I checked their kiosk and it said it was backordered, but the good news is that it will still be $19.99. However, they did have plenty of season one which is good. The last time I was there, I snatched up the last copy of season one, so they must have restocked.

I have few clear memories of this show, but I always liked it. When was that episode where Lucy & Viv were trying to build a boat? Is that out on dvd yet? I have  to go out and get both seasons now--

The episode where Lucy & Viv were trying to repair a boat is actually part of Lucy's earlier series, The Lucy Show, and yes, that episode is included on the season one set of that series.
Viv was not a regular on Here's Lucy, but she did make several guest spots.

What the--we're talking about "Here's Lucy??" I sure don't know how to read! I thought we were talking about "The Lucy Show." That's because I didn't even KNOW that "Here's Lucy" volume one had come out. I knew there was a sort of "best of" set a while back but for some reason never noticed that a first season box had come out. Sheesh--where the heck have I been--

Well if you want the show Best Buy has both Seasons for $19.99 each and they do look amazing. Worth every cent. It almost feels like robbery haha

I will definitly buy ever season as they release them. The fact they put so much care into these seasons sets stunned me.

Me, too! The first set has a ton of extras!  Last night, I discovered that there was a whole bunch of them that I never got around to watching, so I did so last night. I liked the home movies of Lucy golfing with her Jackie Gleason. Even though there was no sound, I could still hear Lucy's laughter in my head. I also liked the footage of Lucy and Gale filming around LAX (Los Angeles Airport), and I laughed at Gale's expressions take after take while Lucy was driving.

It's good to see some love for this show.  It was a childhood favorite of mine.  S2 is definitely on my list for the next DD sale.

I have finished watching the eps on the S2 set now.  Overall, I found this season much stronger than S1.  Some good solid belly laughs here and there this season.  Still no I Love Lucy, but then again, nothing is.

Will watch the extras this weekend.

I never thought MPI could do things better than big companies like Fox or Paramount, etc..  But they did!  I just reveived the first two seasons of Here's Lucy and I'm so impressed by the picture and sound quality of those DVD sets. Plus, all the extras are great!  Full of extras!  Sony with Bewitched should take notes.

Martin, I couldn't agree more.  MPI has done a spectacular job on this series.  I'm in for six seasons.

I bought those 2 seasons for the same reasons you gave, John.  In my case, I grew up with The Lucy Show.  Here's Lucy was never my favorite. The look of those episodes on my 46" Panasonic Plasma is stunning!  Awesome!

I find the intros with the various people involved to be very sweet.  And I also love that you can choose to skip them.  You didn't have that choice on the Shout package. Everything on these MPI releases is done superbly.

And you're right: imagine if Sony had done the same level of quality with Bewitched.  Ah well.

Make it three.  I grew up with The Lucy Show in prime time and I Love Lucy in daytime network reruns.  By the time Here's Lucy premiered I was twelve and knew that Lucy's glory days were behind her, but I watched out of loyalty.  And now, watching some of these episodes again, maybe it's a comment on how far comedy has devolved in the ensuring years, but some of these shows are actually quite funny.  I loved the one where Harry had to get his tonsils removed.  Gale Gordon was given something to do besides be bombastic, and Mary Wickes was her usual no-nonsense self as the head nurse.

I loved this episode too. The part in the waiting room was pretty funny. These sets have been very nice. I'm already looking forward to Season 3.

 

My favorite episodes on this set have to be:

Lucy and Viv in Tijuana

Lucy and Lawrence Welk

Lucy the Laundress

Lucy and the Andrews Sisters

Ah, "Lucy and Lawrence Welk"!  The day after that one aired, several of us were walking around the school yard going "Wunnerful!  Wunnerful!"

(Such was the impact of network televison in those days.  Everyone was pretty much watching the same thing.)

My experience was a little different.

I grew up watching Here's Lucy in primetime, then The Lucy Show in afternoon syndication, and only much later I Love Lucy, which had an odd effect.  Having watched Lucy as a single mother all those years, it was strange to see her as a married woman.

But I soon got over it. 

As a result, I watch Here's Lucy in a golden haze of childhood nostalgia.  It was the one show I looked forward to watching the most as a child.

I think Season Two has been stronger than Season One.  I liked the Welk episode (even though it was a direct remake of an I Love Lucy.)  I loved "Lucy at the Drive-In," "Lucy and the Andrews Sisters," "Lucy Protects her Job," "Lucy and the Used car Dealer" and "Lucy Meets Johnny Carson" (which, oddly enough, I didn't like when I saw it on the Shout set a few years ago.  I found Lucy irritating and annoying in the episode then; this time I found her hysterical.  Go figure.)

But even in episodes that I don't like there's usually at least one bit where Lucy shines on a line or bit of business.

I must say that I have gotten more laughs from HL this time around than from The Lucy Show, which I found very disappointing after all these years.  I'll still keep buying that series though as well.

I'm also enjoying this season, but there are a few clunkers. The Liberace episode is just plain bizarre. I like how Lucy and Harry break into his house, and he doesn't seem to have a problem with it. Then, the whole "plot" goes out the window when the gang breaks out into song and dance, and the actors break "the fourth wall" by waving to the studio audience, and looking in the camera.

I was only exposed to I Love Lucy growing up in reruns.  I am just now watching these for the first time and I'm loving them all.  Great show!!!

But then again, it could have been worst for Bewitched... I've seen some terrible transfers for "My Favorite Martian" from Umbrella.
I'm quite happy for the overall product throughout the 8 seasons.

Now, I'm waiting for the colour episodes on The Lucy Show. Sorry for interrupting this thread for some other cool TV releases...

I am anxiously waiting for more seasons of this classic to be released on dvd. I've finished watching the first two seasons awhile ago and I am craving for the next season. I wish an announcement of another release of this program would be made soon.

I know. Me too. I was waiting for an announcment of the next Lucille Ball Specials dvd ("Lucy Calls The President") but I've since been able to get a copy from a friend and have already watched it repeatedly. So I'm gonna pass on MPI's eventual release of that and wait for more seasons of "Here's Lucy". But I doubt we'll see more seasons of that before March or April 2010. They're already announcing their releases for February and not a Lucy-related dvd in site so far.

I'm anxiously awaiting the next Here's Lucy release as well. With The Lucy Show releases planned as July 2010 and November 2010 from a marketing point then March or April 2010 and September 2010 would make sense for the next two Here's Lucy's.
