Summary: Why So Expensive?
Review: I Love Lucy is a very funny sitcom, and the best television show of the 1950's in my opinion! I would love to own the complete first season on DVD but they released the first season DVD's very strangely, they released them individually so this box set is very expensive and I think if they had released them in a compact boxset with fold out holders like most complete DVD sets that it would have been a lot less expensive so hopefully they will do that for the other I Love Lucy seasons. Outstanding show though that deserves more then 5 stars but the price for a boxset containing a show that is less then 30 minutes in length should have a better price!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Check it out -Season two coming in August at a better price!
Review: UPDATE!! tvshowsondvd.com has a new release date for season two of August 2004 and promises a more reasonable price and more episodes per disc making a more compact package. Hopefully Paramount will confirm this soon!!! If you're a fan of this series, the production of this dvd set is unbeatable. Each episode is uncut and there are 35 of them plus the series pilot in season one and 31 in season two. They are presented in broadcast order. The restoration is superb with picture and sound quality as good as I have ever seen in these episodes. True, season one could have been packaged better, with the price being a little high for your purchase. But I have watched the first season now and am glad I made the investment. And the best news of all is that according to tvshowsondvd.com, Season two will be released on August 31st with a more affordable format similar to the other series releases on dvd. So it might be worth it to save for this set if you want to own the series. Keep 'em coming Paramount!

Summary: Great Series, But Not First Season
Review: I am a huge "I Love Lucy" fan, but the entire first season of this classic series doesn't fairly explain why this is the greatest sitcom of all-time. The first season is plaqued with technical glitches, actors finding their characters and the feeling that the audience we hear laughing at America's favorite redhead is being generated from a laugh track rather than the live audience the show prided itself on. I can't wait for the second season of the show to come out on DVD, because then we see why this show was so beloved and by far, the greatest of all-time.

Summary: Pit-i-ful, Just Pit-i-ful!!!
Review: "Pit-i-ful, Just Pit-i-ful!!! That's what Jed Clampett would have said about the idiots in the Paramount Merchandising Department. I waited for years and years for the HANDS DOWN, BAR NONE, UNEQUIVOCAL queen of the sitcom, Lucy to come out on DVD. When I first saw the individual DVD's it took all the willpower I could muster not to buy them, but I knew that a first season box set would be forthcoming. What a DISAPPOINTMENT!!! Simply the nine shrink-wrapped single DVD's placed in a cardboard box that appeared to have at least 5 seconds of design thought. This is far below what I consider acceptable for a box set of the GREATEST TV SHOW OF ALL TIME! Paramount should have started from scratch with a fold-out multi-disc set with original art and graphics, with of course photos incorporated as well (see CHEERS, The X-FILES, and the SOPRANOS to see how it should be done). Also, the price is out of whack: too expensive, but I would have gladly paid for proper packaging, not this TRAVESTY! I have read all the reviews and certainly there is much discontent about both these issues: the packaging and the price, and rightly so. I only wish that I was CEO of Paramount for a day: The Merchandising Department would be marched over to the unemployment office en mass.

Summary: Australia Loves Lucy
Review: Australia doesn't have this released yet. I had to pay a higher exchange rate pricing + Delivery Fee's. It was money well spent, I have had hours watching and listening to these DVD's - I love how each DVD has bloopers, cast information and also Lucy's old radio radio show "My Favourite Husband".
I can't see why people are rating this poorly the quality is superior than most DVDs of movies in this era. Absolutley brilliant. I think we can tollerate a 9 box set on DVD, still better than a 15 set on VHS (don't you think?). If you want to watch "I Love Lucy" this is your set.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: I love my first season and I hope they come out w/ the rest
Review: The other reviews were a little harsh....Yeh there are only four show per DVD but they give a lot more info about the show and put the whole radio show "My favorite Husband" which the others like "Giligan's Island", "Lost in Space" and other series don't offer. I love to see the history about these wonderful shows and I hope that people will not be discouraged buying them. I can hardly wait for the next season!!!!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: COMPLETE RIP OFF
Review: I love I LOVE LUCY but this is first season set is a complete rip off. 9 Discs for 35 episodes ?! Just today, Gilligan's Island's first season was released as a 3 disc set with 36 episodes. Why nine !? Wait until the season is repackaged properly before buying. Hopefully Columbia won't make the same mistake with the future season sets.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: One star for this season set of the great "I Love Lucy"
Review: humm well let me say that MGM has released the complete 1st season of "Green Acres" for $20 bucks and it contains 32 unedited episodes on only 2 DVD discs!!!! 16 ep per disc.
Now here we have "I Love Lucy" season 1 in a bulky box set from Paramount containing 36 eps on 9 dvd's with only 4 episodes per disc at a price over $100!
now look at both sets.
See what i am talking about!
