    Blu-ray Review I Love Lucy: Ultimate Season 1 Blu-ray Review

    I’ll probably go, but 5 uncut episodes is over 2 hours. That’s long for any comedy program. Plus the documentary. I’m sure I’ll buy the dvd but would prefer a blu-ray. They put out the first Dick Van Dyke Show colorized special on blu-ray, but none of the Lucy ones. And none of the subsequent...

    Blu-ray Review I Love Lucy: Ultimate Season 1 Blu-ray Review

    I completely agree. At first glance, the digital work they did on Lucy may not be as "sexy" as the effects work on the Star Trek series, but it's just as plentiful and involved. Beautifully done from start to finish. WELL worth the price I paid. I hope they keep it up.

    Blu-ray Review I Love Lucy: Ultimate Season 1 Blu-ray Review

    I am quite amazed at the quality of the restoration work they did on the 16mm elements. Yes, they're a little rougher than the 35mm (obviously), but it's like night and day compared to the 16mm elements on the dvds. I had no idea how much work had been put into that aspect of it. Also, I...

    Blu-ray Review I Love Lucy: Ultimate Season 1 Blu-ray Review

    It's a shame that all filmed TV series can't get that treatment. :( I would LOVE to see BEWITCHED on Blu-ray, but I'm sure it will never happen.Over the weekend I saw this great compilation video on youtube called "5 Reasons We Love Lucy" and it made me absolutely certain that I will be buying...

    Blu-ray Review I Love Lucy: Ultimate Season 1 Blu-ray Review

    No, the dvds were mastered (in some cases twice, as they were unhappy with the original results) from archived prints. After the success of the dvds, they went back and mastered the blu-rays from the original negatives, which also gave them high quality hd product that can take them into the...

    Blu-ray Review I Love Lucy: Ultimate Season 1 Blu-ray Review

    It totally should have been handled like The Dick Van Dyke Show: complete series first (which all really die hard fans would buy) and then individuals seasons afterward, for people who either can't afford all at once, or don't want all to begin with. That said, I'll still get this, I'm sure.

    Blu-ray Review I Love Lucy: Ultimate Season 1 Blu-ray Review

    I'll probably pick this up, but I paid practically this same price for the ENTIRE Dick Van Dyke Show series on Blu-ray. That makes it a bit hard to swallow.
