5.0 out of 5 stars A screw-ball comedy about Lucy's trip to California., August 2, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: I Love Lucy's Zany Road Trip - California Here We Come! (Part 1 of 2: 3 Tapes)[VHS] (VHS Tape)

These three tapes are filled with excitement and laughs. In these videos you get to watch Lucy and Ricky Ricardo take a road trip to California. Before the Ricardos leave they have many things to consider, like whether they should take the bus, train, or plane and other major details. While they are thinking about these issues Ethel and Fred get invinted to join them on this trip. While they are on the road they have many adventures going through Tennessee and New Mexico. Then, the group finally reaches Los Angeles. When they reach L.A. the funny experiences keep on coming. I have watched these tapes a million times over and I know any fan of the I Love Lucy show will enjoy watching these fourteen episodes.

This review is from: I Love Lucy's Zany Road Trip - California Here We Come! (Part 1 of 2: 3 Tapes)[VHS] (VHS Tape)

These three videos are filled with lots of laughs, seeing Lucy and Ricky Ricardo travel with their good friends Ethel and Fred to California. There are many funny stops along the way. They even get arrested on the way there. When the group finally reaches California the trip of laughs does not stop until the video tape stops rolling.

This review is from: I Love Lucy's Zany Road Trip - California Here We Come! (Part 1 of 2: 3 Tapes)[VHS] (VHS Tape)

Being 42 years old I have had my dose of I Love Lucy on tv while growing up. This set is about the Ricardos' and Mertzs' complete trip together to Hollywood where Ricky is on contract to do a film. There are special appearances of John Wayne, William Holden, Harpo Marx, and others. A great episode where Lucy masterminds a bungled attempt to safely bring back to New York, John Waynes' shoe imprint slab from the walk of stars. This has John Wayne starring in this episode and Lucy caught red handed. The clarity of the episodes are excellent quality. Hats-off! to Twentieth Century Fox and CBS for their quality attention in producing such a clear set, and of course thanks to the late Lucille Ball, Desi Arnaz, Vivian Vance, and William Frawley. I noticed that this set is now discontinued from production. This set is part one of a two part set for the entire road trip. I encourage the set to be produced again on video to give others the opportunity to enjoy it. And of course buy Part 2 if these sets are available again. I highly recommend these two sets. Clean family comedy at its best. You will watch it time after time. It is like being with a second family.
