budget "Here's Lucy" disc a good sampler for new viewers, May 4 2011

This review is from: Here's Lucy: Best of Collection (DVD)
MPI jumps on the bandwagon with a series of "Best of..." compilation releases, drawn from some of their popular TV show titles. This HERE'S LUCY disc is nicely priced for people who'd like a small sampling of the show before they commit themselves to buying the full season sets...but seriously...who doesn't already love Lucy?!
To date, MPI has released seasons 1-4 of HERE'S LUCY. The episodes included here are:
* "Lucy and the Great Airport Chase"
* "Lucy Meets the Burtons"
* "Lucy and Mannix Are Held Hostage"
* "Lucy Goes on Her Last Blind Date"
* "Lucy and Joan Rivers Do Jury Duty"
* "Lucy is NG As An RN"
* "Lucy and Joe Namath"
Buyers who've already purchased the full seasons probably won't bother with this disc; though it'll do well for casual collectors, and as a cheap Christmas stocking-stuffer. MPI seems committed to eventually releasing the complete series of HERE'S LUCY, so let's support this label and their outstanding efforts in keeping these vintage shows alive.

Amazon is great, I have purchased a few dvd's online and have never had a problem. Amazon have a great selection of old tv shows on dvd, which can not be purchased in Australia. Thanks Amazon from the girl down under. Gidday Mate.

Lucy's best, May 13 2011

While some Here's Lucy eposides are not up to par the series overall is enjoyable. It is nice to see these seven shows released because these are fan favorites and reflect some of Lucy's last best work.
"Lucy & The Great Airport Chase" is a hilarious chase show with lots of side splitting comedy and marks the first time forever the show was filmed on location outside the studio.
"Lucy Meets The Burtons" shows how Richard and Liz could be hilarious and they work well off of Lucy. She is just hilarious with the stuck ring.
"Lucy & Mannix Are Held Hostage" is just great. Lucy and Mannix tied together and trying to escape the criminals is hilarious.
Lucy is N.G. as R.N. is an ensemble show that is hilarious as Lucy needs to help everyone who is having accidents all around her. The supporting cast in this eposide, Mary Jane, Lucie, and Gale, help counterbalance Lucy's comedy to make it a comedy gem.
"Lucy & Joe Namath" is a great family show and you can sense here the love Lucy, Lucie and Desi have for eachother. It is based on a realistic situation with charcter warmth, which is what made I Love Lucy superior sometimes to her other shows.
