I Love Lucy The Complete Series Blu Ray Review!


 In October 1951, Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz debuted the first episode of what was to become one of the best-loved and most watched TV shows of all time. Zany redhead Lucy and her Cuban bandleader husband Ricky Ricardo, along with their neighbors and comic foils Ethel and Fred Mertz (Vivian Vance and William Frawley), got into the most hilarious predicaments ever imaginable. Overflowing with notable guest stars and escapades that never lose their entertainment value, it's no wonder why everyone still loves Lucy. This must-own collection contains all the classic episodes from the six seasons of "I Love Lucy" (1951-1957) plus the iconic remastered "The Lucy-Desi Comedy Hour "(1957-1960), and a newly colorized and never-before-released "Lucy and the Loving Cup" episode.

Lucille Ball was ahead of her time. She was a comedy genius that again was ahead of her time. I think if she would have started in the later 70's it would have been been even bigger. This set is very well made. On to the blu ray set itself.

This set is 33 discs at almost 90 hours worth of footage. The packaging is a very solid hard case with a much better storage than most. I will say when I opened mine it had about 5 or 6 loose disc but once back in their spots they stayed on. 


Special Features include,

NEW Newly colorized (and never-before-released) "Lucy and the Loving Cup" episode
NEW "The Lucy-Desi Comedy Hour" has been remastered, with long-missing footage restored, and presented here as "The Lucille Ball-Desi Arnaz Show," as originally broadcast (1957-1960), including original cast commercials
NEW Original opening and closing credits — and many original cast commercials — have been remastered
NEW Three long-lost "flashback" scenes, originally used to introduce selected repeat episodes, have been remastered
NEW A portion of 1959 CBS fall preview special, "Eye on CBS," featuring Lucille Ball and Vivian Vance, is presented for the first time on home video
