This review is from: Best of I Love Lucy Collection 3 (2 VHS Volumes) (VHS Tape)

This video comes with 2 tapes. Each tape has 5 memorable episodes from I Love Lucy. The episodes on this collection are:
Bon Yoyage:Lucy, Ricky, Fred, and Ethel are leaving to board a ship when Lucy misses Little Ricky and wants to say one more goodbye to him. So she gets off the ship leaving the others behind and gives Little Ricky one more hug goodbye. Then after that she walks to the ship because its leaving soon but then she gets her skirt caught in a bicycle. So she takes her skirt off and starts for the ship but she cant make it. So she ends up flying on a helicotper to get on the ship to Europe.
Lucy and Ethel Buy The Same Dress:The girls are having their own show on TV for one half hour. So Lucy and Ethel do a sisters duet act and end up buying the same dress for the act. When they said they would take their dresses back; both of them end up not taking them back and end up wearing the same dress at the performance.
Neve Do Business With Friends:When Ricky buys Lucy a new washing machine and dryer the Mertzes buy the Ricardos old washer. But when the washer is brought down to the Mertzes apartment and Ethel starts washing clothes in it the washer starts shooting out wet clothes out of it; now its an arguement between the Mertzes and Ricardos. Neither couple wants the washing machine untill one guy fixes it and is willing to pay $50 for it.
Lucy's Last Birthday:Lucy thinks everybody has forgotten her birthday except Mrs. Trumball. So Lucy is depressed and ends up going for a walk. In the park a group called the "Friends of the Friendless" come walking by her and ask if she would like to join their group. So she does and brings the group to the Tropicana where Ricky is doing his show. And thats where the surprise party was. So Lucy was deeply shocked and Ricky sings her a song for her birthday present.
The Star Upstairs:Lucy finds out that there is a star living right above from her apartment in Hollywood. She sneaks up there to see the star. She doesn't want Cornel Wilde(the star) to see her so she goes on his balcony so he wont see her. He ends up falling asleep but he has locked the door to get inside the room so she has Ethel help her get down; when getting down from his balcony to hers which is right underneith it she ruins his plant that is there. So at the end he finds out that someone has bean there and spying on him so he leaves because he doesn't want anyone to know where he is.
Paris At Last:Lucy ends up in jail because she paid fake money to the waiter at a French restaurant. But she didn't know it was fake money when she traded money with this one guy she didn't know. So now she is in the police department and can't understand anyone because they are all foreigners; although she is the foreigner because she is in France.
The Great Train Robbery:Lucy thinks the guy next to her room is a jewel theif. So when she tells Ethel this guy is over hearing on her conversation. So when Ethel leaves and Lucy is still sitting there the guy that was eavesdropping asks her to take him up to the guys bedroom so that they could catch him. But as it turns out the guy that was eavesdropping on Lucy and Ethel, was the jewel theif. The guy next to Lucys room was just a jewelery seller. But then the guy ends up getting caught.
The Million Dollar Idea:Lucy and Ethel have a good idea to make some money by selling Lucys aunts home made recipe for salad dressing. But when Ricky finds out that they would only be getting 3% of the money it turns out that they wouldn't be getting much money and that 3% goes to Caroline because her husband works at a TV station and he is the one that let Lucy and Ethel sell their product on. So when they found out that they were good sellers they figured they could go back on TV and show that the product they sold was a bad product but instead they got more orders. So they end up buying salad dressing and putting their labels on them and deliver them by bicycle so they don't have to pay for shipment.
Return Home From Europe:Lucy has a piece of cheese to bring to her mother that you can't find in America. So she brings it on the plane pretending it is a baby. But as it turns out babys cost $30 on plane rides so she eats part of the cheese with Ethel and puts the rest in instruments.
Lucy Visits Grauman's:Lucy wants John Waynes Footprint because it is loose. When some police men come and scope the area out Lucy gets her foot stuck in a bucket full of cement that Ethel put in the bushes where they had to hide so the police men wouldn't see them.

This is a must for anyone who's purchased the "I Love Lucy"
collection. These episodes can be seen over and over, time and time again. They are healing and warm and will keep you laughing. As a child, I loved "I Love Lucy" and now my children can have the pleasure of knowing what true comedy is all about.
Laughter is still the best medicine!
