I Love Lucy - The Complete Series (DVD, 34-Disc Set)

Fast shipping, Excellent product just as described! Thanks!

I LOVE LUCY debuted on CBS in 1951 and quickly set a new standard for situation comedy with its well-crafted plotlines, live tapings, multiple camera angles, and one of the finest ensemble casts in television history. Centered on the domestic life of zany redhead Lucy Ricardo (Lucille Ball) and her Cuban-born husband Ricky (Lucy's real-life spouse Desi Arnaz), the series also broke cultural ground by featuring an interracial marriage and a female lead who was less than the perfect housewife. Indeed, it was Lucy's never-ending quest to muscle in on her husband's show-business career--often with the help of meddlesome next-door neighbors Fred (William Frawley) and Ethel Mertz (Vivian Vance)--that provided the show its main comedic thrust and continues to lend it a timelessly classic appeal. This collection presents all nine seasons (194 episodes) of this groundbreaking series, including the "lost" pilot and I LOVE LUCY: THE MOVIE.

In the 1950s, there was never any television program that could even touch the popularity and magnitude of the classic sitcom "I Love Lucy". The first show filmed before a live audience utilizing multiple cameras shot simultaneously and then brilliantly edited together, This was unlike anything else that we had ever seen before. What makes this show so appealing and continues to give it longevity and durability is how well the characters come off the screen. Occasionally, an incident would take place during the actual filming of an episode, and the reaction and response of both the cast and the audience was so instantaneous, that it would be included in the airing of that show. This would give the show a fresh and fun approach. Who could ever forget when Lucy and Harpo Marx recreated the famous mirror sequence, originally performed in the classic Marx Brothers film "Duck Soup"? When Lucy accidentally got locked in a large meat freezer? When Lucy went through a starch factory? When Lucy was getting ready to give birth to little Ricky? When Lucy pitched Vitameatavegamin? Or, the granddaddy of them all - when Fred and Ricky decided to swap places with Lucy and Ethel, resulting in Ricky and Fred totally destroying dinner while Lucy and Ethel had absolutely nothing but trouble while trying to work at a candy factory? They're all here, and more. All 194 episodes contained onto 34 DVDs. Plus, lots of extras as well. Digitally restored for the very best viewing experience, the complete series of "I Love Lucy" is a must-have DVD set that every fan of this timeless program should not be without.

GREAT PRICE THANKS

I have always "LOVED LUCY" and found her, Desi, Fred and Ethel the funniest people on TV, EVER but now that I have the whole set I love them even more. It comes in a beautiful box with a heart and I Love Lucy written on the front and all the DVD's are in order and color coordinated by season. I just got it for Mother's Day from my son and what a great gift for those Mom's heading into the "senior years" and remember watching I Love Lucy when it was originally broadcast. I have already watched several episodes and laughed until tears were running down my cheeks. WELL worth the money!!! A real treasure!!
