Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Encyclopedic but tangential at times
Review: This encyclopedic chronology of Miss Ball's TV appearances will interest history and trivia buffs. Of special interest are some unexpected, first-hand commentaries by Hollywood's leading actors and producers of years gone by.

One unfortunate annoyance: The book's inclusion of numerous unrelated TV appearances by Lucie Arnaz and Desi Arnaz Jr., who approved the book for publication. The book even acknowledges that these appearances have nothing to do with Ball, even as it lavishes over-the-top and uncritical praise for the Arnazes. Sure, they both seem like attractive and friendly people, but to repeatedly call Lucie Arnaz an acting "tour de force" is a bit much.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: An Encyclopedia For Lucy Fans
Review: This episode guide is a must have for all Lucy fans. The episode descriptions are very informative filled with details the average viewer might miss. It also includes biographies of several of Ms. Ball's longtime co-stars. I loved it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A must have for any "Lucy" Fan
Review: This is a wonderful and informative book on the television career of Lucille Ball. It is a show by show episode guide that offers trivia and highlights on every show. The comments of the actors and other professionals who worked with Lucille Ball are a great addition to the book and make it very unique. The input of Lucie Arnaz and Desi Arnaz Jr. makes this a great book and an very interesting read. They offer their comments and views on many of the shows they were involved in. A must have for any Lucy fan!!!!!!!

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: An engaging, entertaining essentail resource
Review: what can i ad to the glowing comments above except to say that i've read everything on lucy since bart andrew's original, but this book is just amazing for the depth of information, the scope of the interviews and fact that its all presented so entertainingly. this is not a book you'll put on your shelf and just pick up to find out info on a specific episode of I LOVE LUCY. you'll want to read in from page one because its a fascinating biography without rose-colored glasses. this is the perfect gift for lucy fans! and it is sure to be the most sited reference tool for any lucyphile.
