5.0 out of 5 stars A terrific bit of education in a time capsule., December 20, 2002

This review is from: I Love Lucy - Season One (Vol. 3) (DVD)

I never thought I'd do it, but here I am purchasing (and rating) a DVD of probably the most rerun series in TV history. Makes one wonder why buy it in the first place. In my case I was fascinated (and educated) by the DVD's revelation that the show's presentation was altered after its network broadcasts. Most of us grew up with LUCY, but only in syndication, and many things about the show were changed for syndication, from the opening credits (the Philip Morris sponsor was more predominant, and the "heart-on-satin" logo came much later) to background music, sponsor placement, and even one moment of censorship which involved a passionate kiss by Lucy and actual husband Desi Arnaz (drastically pared down by rerun time). The genius of the DVD is that it restores all these elements back to their original 1951 content, and even includes two radio broadcasts of LUCY's prototype, "My Favorite Husband." As far as the episodes themselves are concerned: 'Drafted' is the least entertaining and most contrived (the misunderstanding reaches outrageous proportions); 'Men Are Messy' and 'The Fur Coat' are standard Lucy shenanigans; and the 'Girl Singer' episode is the best- although the girl (Helen Silver) is actually a gorgeous dancer, and smolders in the 'Jezebel' number. Lucy goes brunette in the chorus line, and wreaks classic havoc.

5.0 out of 5 stars I'M IMPRESSED....ANOTHER VOLUME NOT TO BE MISSED!!, August 23, 2002

Wow...Paramount is already releasing the next two volumes in the 'I Love Lucy' Season 1 Collection!! So much for the accusations of the company 'milking it' ...eh! Volume 3 looks to be a good one, promising lots of laughs and good clean humor that people of all ages can share and enjoy!! Volume 3 picks up where Volume 2 left off, with Paramount releasing the episodes in the order of their original broadcast dates!!

Volume 3 kicks off with....
'Men Are Messy'- Lucy divides the apartment in half giving Ricky a half to be a slob.

Next episode...
'The Fur Coat'- Ricky brings home a mink coat that he borrowed for a club act and Lucy thinks it is hers! (CLASSIC EPISODE)

Next...
'Lucy Is Jealous Of Girl Dancer'- Lucy reads a gossip article that links Ricky to a girl at the club and she gets upset.

And last but not least...
'Drafted'- Lucy and Ethel think that Fred and Ricky have been drafted.

'The Fur Coat' is the only episode in this volume that has been previously released on the home entertainment market (unless you paid the big bucks from a ***certain video club***....you know what I mean). This volume contains bonus material as the previous two volumes did. These episodes are sure to bring a smile to your face and brighten up a rainy day. Order Volume 3 today!!
