If they would include some of the original comercials inserted at the approriate breaks now *that* would be cool!
You can purchase these discs FOR A THIRD of what Columbia House is selling them and they're the same damn thing. CH is over $30 per disc and Paramount is under $10.
Internet retailers are going to be charging tax and shipping, too -- that is also assumed. You're not going to be able to get them for $10 shipped.

That's not necessarily true. For titles with a $14.99 MSRP, DeepDiscountDVD almost always (maybe even always) charges < $10, and they offer free Media Mail shipping and no tax (except in IL), so you should be able to get it there for < $10 shipped.

Perhaps...but only because Paramount doesn't have to spend any money mastering the discs.
but it's the same as the list price for the Twilight Zone DVDs, which also had only 4 episodes per disc.
I will simply remind you that (A) those are discs that were originally releases starting 12/29/98 for Volume 1 (or 11/24/97 if you want to include the "Treasures Of...") whereas I Love Lucy is being released in Summer 2002, and (B) the TZ discs are now MSRPing at $14.99, having been reduced a while back now (close to a year, IIRC).

The Criterion Laserdisc did just that. The LD included the Phillip Morris cigarette commercials. However, I doubt we'll ever see these again.

Ever is a long time -- I think we will see them someday, but not with this release. I have seen the video master they are using for the DVDs, and they have not restored either the original openings or the commercials. The "Original Openings" listed in the press release will be a supplement. I know that for a fact.
