So true. As soon as Season 6 is out, we can all throw those PD releases away.

That sounds good, but I'm by nature cynical. How would he know for sure? And as a company rep., wouldn't he say they were even if they weren't? He might have meant that his company doesn't cut the material they have; but how can he be sure they didn't acquire cut episodes to begin with?

Thanks, Ron. I've been hesitating to pick up that set at Sam Goody's, but from what you've told us, I'm going to give it a try!

To Ron Lee Green: Without timing the episodes, do they seem complete? On some of the cut prints, the show starts with a very obvious cut -- it'll start right in the middle of Mr. Mooney yelling at Lucy about something. Or that kind of thing will happen after a fade-to-black where a commercial...

As for "Lucy Show" PD prints being complete or not: My experience is that some of the PD DVDs do have complete prints, some don't. But there's no way to tell in advance! I'd be most interested to know if the set that has all 30 PD episodes contains complete episodes. An official release of...

I'm in a nitpicky and technical mood, so I'll add this to the discussion: I have read (and I'm hoping it's true) that after the 6th and final season of "I Love Lucy" comes out on DVD later this year, the next set will be the 13 hour specials they did from 1957-1960. The nitpick is that...

Is "The Lucy Show" a Paramount property? As another thread discusses, Paramount said they're going full-steam ahead with their huge backlog of TV series. If "The Lucy Show" is Paramount, I wonder what the odds are of it finally getting an official, non-public-domain release.

I'm tempted to get sarcastic here and say "learn how to read," but I won't. What you quoted to me states that Vivian Vance, the real life actress, lived in Connecticut and commuted to California, which is correct. It goes on to state that the fictional characters lived in Danfield, NEW...

I'm afraid Jeff# has several errors in his message. But the show was a huge success, always placing in the Top Ten. I was 12 when "The Lucy Show" started, and I remember "viv"idly (no pun intended) watching the first episode on the night of October 1, 1962. It was odd for a few minutes...

It started to deteriorate during the third season, but it was at least still watchable. It jumped way over the shark starting with Season Four when Lucy moved to California. By the end of the fourth season, we were subjected to one of the worst half hours in TV history -- when Lucy acquired...

You are so right, Jason! The original Lucy and Viv characters seemed like real human beings. The "new" Lucy Carmichael was impossible to relate to. She wasn't real, just a cartoon. How about the way she never cared about her kids any more? She mentioned her son in a later episode, and...

If I may chime in here: Many shows "jumped the shark" at one time or another, but did any show do such severe shark jumping as "The Lucy Show?" And I'm afraid the whole thing was the fault of Lucille Ball herself. The story goes that her longtime writers, "Madelyn and Bob," quit her in...
