Product Description

Amazon.ca

"Men Are Messy" raises the stakes of the eternal argument of what is "lived in" and what's a pigsty when Lucy purposely trashes the apartment for Ricky's photo shoot, not realizing the magazine is Look. In "The Fur Coat," Lucy mistakes a mink rented for one of Ricky's dancers as an anniversary gift for herself. "Lucy Jealous of Girl Singer" finds the dutiful wife overlooking a gossip column item about her husband only to find torn black lace in his pocket, which, of course, requires a stint in the chorus line to straighten out matters. In "Drafted," the most forced of the episodes, Lucy and Ethel think their men are going off to war, while the men believe both wives are with child. Socks are knitted, party guests are stuffed in the closet, and at the end the entire cast sings "Jingle Bells" in a piece restored from the original Christmas Eve broadcast. --Kimberly Heinrichs

4.0 out of 5 stars Beginning to Find Itself April 13 2004
By Mark Baker
Format:DVD
I Love Lucy first began to show signs of the sit com we would all come to know and love with these episodes. While not the height of the show we'd love later, they are enjoyable.

"Men are Messy" finds Lucy and Ethel trying to break their husbands of being slobs. While the ending is not up to the rest of the episode, the beginning is hilarious.

In "The Fur Coat," Lucy thinks a coat Ricky has rented for his act is a gift for her. When she refuses to take it off, he must go to great lengths to get it back. Wonderful all the way around and the best of the show so far.

"Lucy is Jealous of Girl Singer" finds Lucy believing the gossip in the paper about the new dancer (not singer) at the club.

The weakest episode, "Drafted" finds the girls thinking that the men are entering boot camp. This is one of the weakest in the series. Originally airing on Christmas Eve, this episode features a special restored holiday tag at the end not shown in syndication.

The writers are still relying too much are Lucy and scripts from the radio show. But the other characters are beginning to develop. While not my favorite, the best is certainly yet to come.

This DVD is a collector's dream. The episodes are presented in their entirety, and they look and sound sharp. There are occasional flaws in the picture, but considering the source material is 50 years old, it really isn't bad at all. Brief things cut for syndication have been added back in, adding to the fun. (I can't believe the humorous references to the original sponsor they managed to work in.) The sound is presented in mono. While it won't challenge your sound system at all, it serves the purpose well and is faithful to the original audio recording. The extras feature the original opening plugging the show's sponsor (the episodes themselves use the heart we're used to from reruns), info on the guest cast, an inconsistency already in episode to episode continuity, and two episodes of Lucy's radio show "My Favorite Husband" that got reworked for the show.

True, the way season 1 was released isn't nearly as nice in terms of sets as other shows have gotten. But this is still a classic comedy with decent bonus material to make any fan happy.

5.0 out of 5 stars The restored "long kiss" is here, not seen since 1951. July 12 2003
By James McDonald
Format:DVD
"Men Are Messy", episode 8. Filmed October 25, 1951, Broadcast December 3, 1951. Note: Kenny Morgan who played Kenny, the Press Agent, was married to Lucille Ball's cousin, Cleo, and was Desilu's PR Representative. Includes "restored scene" not seen since 1951. "The Fur Coat", episode 10, but shown as ninth episode. Filmed November 9, 1951. Broadcast December 10, 1951. "Lucy is Jealous of Girl Singer", episode 11, but shown as tenth episode. Filmed November 16, 1951. Broadcast December 17, 1951. The restored "long kiss" is here, not seen since 1951. "Drafted", episode 9, but shown as the eleventh episode. Filmed November 2, 1951. Broadcast Christmas Eve, December 24, 1951. Includes a special surprise "Christmas" tag scene that hasn't been seen since 1951. (It is simular to the "lost" Chrismas special episode they had with a young Little Ricky later in the series) This special scene is 3 minutes long. Much more bonuses. Boy, those prop men are good at changing the time on the living room clock, aren't they? Notice that barometer changes too.

5.0 out of 5 stars LOVING LUCY. AND RICKY & FRED & ETHEL. NOW & FOREVER. Jan 19 2003
By Alan W. Petrucelli
Format:DVD
I love Lucy. You love Lucy. We all love Lucy. We always have. And always will. If the
tale is true that someone is watching "I Love Lucy" somewhere in the world every minute
of the day, here's evidence why. Like you really need to be reminded! Each DVD in the
series contains four classic episodes ... indelible black-and-white images of Lucy and Ricky
and Fred and Ethel that are still as funny today as they were 50 years ago! Each volume
also contains flubs, radio shows, behind-the-scenes photo galleries and special footage,
such as lost and/or deleted scenes and original openings. Simply said: These volumes (and
subsequent ones) are must-haves for every DVD library.
