Summary: Should Be In Compact Box Set Like Star Trek Next Gen.
Review: It's totally unreasonable that the studio is only putting 4 episodes per DVD. One of the things great about DVD is that it took less shelf space than bulky VHS tapes. I bought the box set of the first season of Star Trek The Next Generation. It contains 7 DVD's and takes up LESS than 2 inches wide of shelf space, plus it's nice and organized. All the Lucy fans I know would have paid a premium price for it released in the same format as I just described. Now most of them will be thinking why bother to replace my Columbia House VHS collection when this is going to take up almost as much room. Like an earlier reviewer wrote, if they could do it with The Simpsons First Season, why couldn't they do it with I Love Lucy first season!!!

Summary: I Love I Love Lucy, but why not the whole season at once????
Review: Im only giving this 5 stars because I love I Love Lucy to death (and have since around the age of 7). My guess is that they are releasing this like England releases Friends. In England they release Friends with 4 episodes per DVD/tape but usually release 3 DVDs/tapes at a time. I live in the U.S. but know this from browsing www.amazon.co.uk. But to me it is stupid to do this to I Love Lucy. The only reason Friends is released that way is so that Friends fans can own and enjoy earlier episodes from the current season whenever they want(I personally find this sorta stupid to). I Love Lucy is 50 years old, and I can guarantee the company that makes these that the first season has already aired and more that once. This way is soooo incredibly stupid. We Americans got Friends, MASH, All in the Family, ect. in a first season box set, and we should get I Love Lucy that way. I personally will wait until they release the whole first season in this completely ignorent way then look for a release date for a box set. I luv ya Lucy, but not the people distributing these.

Summary: I Love Lucy is classic television at it's best!!
Review: Wow, what's with the whiney hissy fits because some I Love Lucy fans said they would like season box sets, what exactly is so bad about that? Hey at least they weren't saying anything bad about the show or the actors, but anyway I'm sure that I Love Lucy will eventually get the whole nine yard treatment in box sets because it's the most loved and the most famous classic TV sitcom and if my mother would let me you can bet your boots that I would purchase a whole nine yards season box set for this classic gem of a sitcom! Lucille Ball was a comedic genius and Desi Arnaz, Vivian Vance and William Frawley were wonderful too! Oh by the way just because the mail order club that guy mentioned where you have to buy one dvd or video a month featured I Love Lucy doesn't mean that I Love Lucy box sets will never be a reality, They featured Star Trek: The Next Generation and now Paramount has put out their own Star Trek: The Next Generation dvd box sets and though they are extremely expensive not all TV series box sets are that expensive. Well that's all.

Summary: Whoever truly loves Lucy will love these DVDs!
Review: I LOVE LUCY is a truly classic TV show, and I've fallen in love with it since summer 2000 when I started watching syndicated reruns. Needless to say I was thrilled when I heard these DVDs are being released. To all of those who are grumbling about it not being issued as deluexe complete season boxed sets, I'd like to offer some food for thought.* These classic shows have already been issued on DVD as part of an exclusive Colombia House Collector's Edition series, but even there they are not issued as complete season sets. With this as the second DVD release of the series, expectations aren't very high for a third, so don't hold out for Complete Season sets. These are the best we're going to get until they finish all the volumes of Season 1 - they MIGHT just box all the volumes and make a complete season set available, but it would be no better in terms of content than this, and you'd have to wait longer for them to get done releasing them in volumes and box them. If you're a true Lucy lover and have to have the complete series on DVD, just get these and stop complaining. * Complete Season sets are VERY expensive, sometimes over [dollar amount] even on discount. At [dollar amount] apiece retail, these DVDs are a steal compared to season sets. It probably WOULD be cheaper in the long run as season sets, and they'll end up making more money off us loyal Lucy lovers this way, BUT in the short term it's a sweeter deal. Most two hour movies are [dollar amount], and you're telling me I can get two hours worth of I LOVE LUCY shows for [dollar amount] and four hours for [dollar amount] if I buy Volume 2 as well? YAY!! * On Complete Season sets, it only raises the price to produce bonus discs when the series takes up so many discs -- 5 or 6 for normal sets -- anyway. Here we get the episodes AND bonus features. Plus, since they're taking so many individual discs to do it, in the end we have MORE ROOM for bonuses then most Complete Season sets. I for one cannot wait to see the original animated openings and here episodes of Lucy and Dezi's radio show MY FAVORITE HUSBAND. Plus we get goofs, bluffs, cast/crew info, and occasionally LOST FOOTAGE restored into the episodes! Yay, no?! I hope this food for thought has helped some of you complainers get past the fact that Complete Season sets are not a reality for I LOVE LUCY, and I hope that you'll buy these DVDs anyway so that you too may enjoy this American TV classic at your pleasure instead of waiting for them to rerun your favorite episode. If you are a true Lucy lover, this is a dream come true!

Summary: Whoever puts these DVDs together, READ THIS!!
Review: We've all see I Love Lucy a million times, so let's make this DVD release something special! Include the orginal show openings on each episode, not just once as an extra. Include the complete episodes, with long deleted footage restored. And include the original sponsor commercials. In short, the episodes on these DVDs should be presented as they were originally broadcast in the 1950s!! Few fans have ever seen them this way. Now that would be something special.

Summary: Are these going to be fully loaded season boxsets?
Review: Well this is not really a grumble but more like a concern, I love I Love Lucy and I am just wondering if the I Love Lucy DVD series are going to be all of the episodes or just select ones, if it is just select episodes than some really good ones might get excluded like some of the lesser known ones that don't make the fan favorite lists like Lucy Goes to Scotland and Lucy in the Swiss Alps that are great and so under-rated and I would just love to have those episodes on DVD. Though I can't get those fully loaded boxsets that other reviewers are asking for because I just can't afford them and simply just don't have the room for big bulky boxsets, though not as bulky as video box sets I do know someone who has another TV shows first season DVD boxset and it's a little on the bulky side but even though I have no plans to get any complete season boxsets I can understand people wondering why it can be done for the Simpsons and not I Love Lucy.

Summary: Better than VHS
Review: "I Love Lucy," is the most watchable comedy series ever to be produced and it's release on DVD should ensure it's title as the best of the best. I originally purchased the three episode video cassettes from Columbia House at a much, much larger price tag, so this four episode disc at a much lower one, and with DVD being the superior medium in features, sound and picture, makes me quite happy and particularly amused by grumblings of others wanting more per disc. Lucy is certainly worth the wait! Just ask the people who waited patiently every Monday night just for one episode back in the 50's.
