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.Originally Posted by Ethan Riley
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--

Viv was not a regular on Here's Lucy, but she did make several guest spots.
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.Originally Posted by Powell&Pressburger
I will definitly buy ever season as they release them. The fact they put so much care into these seasons sets stunned me.
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.Originally Posted by Robert13
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 too hope they keep up the pace. [/QUOTE]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!
