I was completely disappointed with this box set. The video and audio were terrible, the worst I have seen on DVD. A complete waste of money. Do not buy this set! Beware of other Delta and Laserdisk productions! I hope this helps others not waste their money!

I bought this DVD collection and was very, very disappointed. Not only because of the high price, but because the transfers are poor and the episodes are NOT intact. There are several scenes missing in each episodes. Any true Lucy fan knows this. The choice of episodes here are also not the best. One of the worst episodes "Lucy the Fight Manager" with Don Rickles (an annoying presence), has NOT ONE funny moment in the entire episode. Save your money until the people in charge of putting out "The Lucy Show" decide to put it out season by season in a complete, remastered, decent quality product.

I bought these singly for $5.00 a piece from a bargain bin. They simply are unwatchable. Do not waste your money on these DVDs from Delta or Laserlight. They are complete garbage!

I am trying to find the series runs of the Danfield, CT days with Viv, Lucy, her kids, Cris and Jerry, and Viv's son. I would love to have the Christmas episodes. PPPPPPLLLLLLLLLEEEEEAAASSSSSSSSSSSSEEEEEEEEE quit boxing the same old ones and calling it The Lucy Show. I would love to have all of the seasons starting with the Danfield days to the California days, but in sequence!!!!!Also, I would love to have the whole Here's Lucy Seasons.

Not sure why everyone is k'vetching. I've got the set and the picture and audio are perfect. The shows are hilarious and if you're a Lucy fan you're going to love it.

Don't bother with the public domain episodes of "The Lucy Show." You're throwing away your money. The audio and video quality isn't very good. Buy the official season releases of "The Lucy Show." We already have seasons one through three out. Season four should be out sometime in March 2011. You won't believe the difference between the shabby quality of the public domain episodes and the unbelievable quality of the official releases. It's like they were filmed a month ago. In addition you get great bonus features. So stop buying the same 30 episodes. I was fooled twice and decided to wait for the real thing.

This is Carol Butler's son writing this review. My mom bought this "collection" for me at Best Buy when it first came out. I believe it's out of print now, and if in fact it is, I wouldn't be surprised. The quality is terrible. The picture is scratchy and full of splices. The audio is muffled, especially on the DVD's that have only three episodes each. Only a few episodes are complete. Those are the ones on the DVD's with five episodes. There is at least five minutes cut from most of the episodes, and most of them aren't really that funny. The best episode in the whole set is "Lucy and Viv Put in a Shower". That's a classic.


Don't waste your money on this set. Every other company that has released "The Lucy Show" has the same episodes and they are much better quality and cheaper. However, your best bet would be to wait for the official season sets. The Official First Season is out now and The Official Second Season is coming out in July. Those sets have the complete episodes in pristine quality and many bonus features. They're cheaper too.

This DVD is great! It isn't in perfect condition, but definitely viewable. Only don't pay what Amazon is asking for it! I got this set at Costco for only $19!

I am a big fan of Lucy. I loved this set. The lucy Show is not easy to find on DVD so this package is like gold. I enjoyed every single episodes.

This box set is awesome and I was planning on buying it, but apparently Amazon.ca has the right to change the price without notice. The price increased about 30 dollars and I am very upset about that. I wrote the Amazon.ca customer service department and they said it was because of the company, not them. It is very difficult for me to buy it elsewhere and I think it's outrageous for Amazon to claim that they have nothing to do with the price going up. I think that if every other company sells it alot cheaper, they should too. Don't you agree?
