A Good video for "I Love Lucy" collectors, October 6, 2003
A Kid's Review
This review is from: I Love Lucy: The Very First Show [VHS] (VHS Tape)
"I Love Lucy: The Very First Show" is actually the film's pilot episode (a pilot is a test film used in those days for TV shows). Hosted by Lucie Arnaz, daughter of Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz, it includes the pilot along with other commentary.
The plot along the line is a common, recurring theme: A crazy redhead wants to get into her hasband's act. TV networks are going to catch Ricky's act, Lucy unsuccessfully tries to convice him to let her be in it. She later comes unsuspectedly into the act after a clown is injured, and the neworks apparently offer her a contract!
The pilot is very similar to the "I Love Lucy" episode entitled "The Audition," but don't let that throw you off. It is a wonderful, heartwarming video!

A Great Beginning, August 2, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: I Love Lucy: The Very First Show [VHS] (VHS Tape)
This shows how it all started... This pilot episode of I Love Lucy is very funny. But, the interviews with the creators and stars of I Love Lucy make it even better. It also is hosted by Lucie Arnaz, who does a wonderful job.

It was a great show to start the success of I Love Lucy, February 2, 1999

This review is from: I Love Lucy: The Very First Show [VHS] (VHS Tape)
It was an awesome start to the show that introduced the great love between lucy and desi. It is about Ricky trying to murder lucy, and in the end, lucy knows that Ricky loves her as much as she loves him.
