4.0 out of 5 stars more classic "Lucy" favourites, August 30, 2010

This review is from: Lucy Show - Volume 3 (DVD)

Alpha, the most venerable of all the budget-priced DVD companies, recycles the same old episodes of THE LUCY SHOW that have fallen into public domain limbo. Serious "Lucy" fans have probably purchased these eps over and over again, but the price is right for the casual viewers too.

Five years after the last episode of "I Love Lucy" aired, Lucille Ball was back at CBS, sans Desi Arnaz (whom she had divorced by this point) for another shot at sitcom success. THE LUCY SHOW cast Ball as Lucille Carmichael, a widow who lived with her best friend Vivian Bagley (Vivian Vance) and their respective children in a large house in upstate New York. The show was later re-tooled, with Lucy moving to California to work as a secretary for bank manager Mr. Mooney (Gale Gordon).

Episodes:

"Lucy Gets Trapped" - Skipping work to attend a big department store sale, Lucy's perfect plan goes up in smoke when she's pictured in the following morning's paper...

"Lucy and the Substitute Secretary" - Lucy's vacation to Lake Arrowhead will just have to wait, when her temporary office replacement (Ruta Lee) plans to stick around longer...

"Lucy, the Babysitter" - Mooney clamps down on giving Lucy a raise, so she decides to bring in some extra money by babysitting. But her first clients turned out to be a real handful.

"Lucy and the French Movie Star" - Sent to the apartment of a handsome French actor (guest star Jacques Bergerac) on bank business, Lucy drinks too much champagne.

"Lucy Meets Sheldon Leonard" - When Sheldon Leonard uses the bank as a location to shoot a TV pilot, Lucy mistakes him for a real gangster.

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't Bother With Poor Quality Public Domain Episodes/Wait for Official Season Releases by CBS/Paramount Home Entertainment, December 4, 2010

This review is from: Lucy Show - Volume 3 (DVD)

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.
