5.0 out of 5 stars Here's Lucy Season Two- Another Fantastic Season Is Here!, August 25, 2009

Season One of Here's Lucy is not even out yet, and Season Two is all ready to order for it's November 3, 2009 release! This is great news for Lucy fans that these shows will be out quickly, and I hope the film quality is just as good as the quick releases of this great series! Season Two starts out with a family trip out west, and after that, the great guest stars just keep on coming show after show! The first of these guest stars is Patty Andrews, who re-enacts the famous WWII Andrews Sisters singing act with Lucy and daughter Lucie Arnaz- they are just great! There are so many great performances by Milton Berle, Paul Winchell, Gary Morton, Johnny Carson, Ed McMahon, Jack LaLanne, Liberace, Lawrence Welk, Ann-Margret, Wally Cox, Alan Hale, Wayne Newton, Carol Burnett and many others. Even the wonderful Vivian Vance returns to guest star as Lucy's friend Vivian Jones. Lucy's real life 77 year old mother DeDe Ball (she passed away in 1977 at age 84) is seen as the woman in the audience on the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson. DeDe was in the viewing audience of every single show of I Love Lucy, The Lucy Show and Here's Lucy. They say you can hear her distinctive laugh and even hear her talking (DeDe always said UH-OH when her daughter Lucy was in trouble) on the background tracks in Lucy's shows, but this is the rarest time that you actually get to see Lucy's mom on a show! This second season is just wonderful with so many great stars and performances, one of the best being Desi Arnaz Jr. and Ann-Margret singing together and if Season Three comes out just as quickly, it won't be long before we get to see the highest rated show of Here's Lucy, which is the first show of Season Three-Lucy Meets The Burton's!

Featuring on Here's Lucy are:
Lucille Ball as Lucille Carter
Gale Gordon as Harrison Otis (Uncle Harry) Carter
Lucie Arnaz as Kim Carter
Desi Arnaz Jr. as Craig Carter

5.0 out of 5 stars "The "Here's Lucy" DVD's Continue!", August 25, 2009

By	Terry Richard "Terry Richard" (Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

When MPI Home Video announced early in 2009 that they would release all the seasons of "Here's Lucy" they were not kidding. Even before "Here's Lucy-Season 1" has been released MPI has announced that the second season's worth of episodes will be coming out in November. If these boxsets continue to be released in this manner (2 sets per year), it means that we fans will have the entire "Here's Lucy" library of shows by the end of 2011!
The second year of "Here's Lucy" continued Lucille Ball's dominance in the national Nielsens. Finishing the year at #6 proved to the audience and critics that "Here's Lucy's" success was no fluke: audiences watched the series in droves and the show became a Monday night staple like its predecessors "I Love Lucy" and "The Lucy Show". Some wonderful guest stars popped up in the second year including Johnny Carson, Lawrence Welk, Carol Burnett, Ann-Margret, Milton Berle, and even Liberace. Vivian Vance came back for two episodes and her chemistry with Lucy is evident.
This set features 24 excellent shows that are remastered from their original prints, is 610 minutes long, and the sound is English audio with English subtitles. Among the many bonus features in this set are the following: new video introductions by Lucie Arnaz and Desi Arnaz Jr., a featurette called "Here's Lucy On Vacation", "Let's Talk To Lucy- a loss interview with Lucy friend Carol Burnett, Special Footage, Treasures from Lucy's Vault: a "Here's Lucy" slideshow, Production Files, and Original CBS and syndication promos.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wow Season Two Sooo Soon!, November 5, 2009

By	Jackie L. Holstein "[e-mail]" (MPLS, MN) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Love how Season Two has been released so fast from Season One. I only hope MPI keeps up these great releases. Image quality and sound quality are as good as it could get in my eyes.

Great classic releases in great season sets. Very nostalgic and I actually really like the show, yeah it can be corny etc, but Lucy was a class act. You can't name too many women in tv history who trailblazed comedy for as many decades.

Go MPI GO!
