DVD I Love Lucy - The Complete Second Season
Season 2 of I Love Lucy includes two of the most famous half-hours in television history. "Job Switching," originally broadcast mid-September of 1952, is the crazy, battle-of-the-sexes episode in which husbands Ricky Ricardo (Desi Arnaz) and Fred Mertz (William Frawley) trade roles with wives Lucy (Lucille Ball) and Ethel (Vivian Vance), culminating in the men making a shambles of domestic chores while Lucy and Ethel take disastrous work at a chocolate factory. That's right: This is the show where the ladies have a Chaplinesque experience with a too-fast factory conveyor belt, forcing them to hide candies in their mouths, in their hats, and down their blouses lest a tough forewoman fire them for incompetence. A half-century later, the scene is still so fresh and funny it would grace any current sitcom. "Lucy Goes to the Hospital," which received an amazing 71.7 rating on January 19, 1953, is the historic episode featuring the birth of Little Ricky and a load of wonderful slapstick. Other television series (The Dick Van Dyke Show) and movies (Nine Months) have tried to top Lucy's time-to-go-to-the-hospital shenanigans, but there's nothing like the sight of Ricky and Fred falling all over themselves or Ricky showing up at the maternity ward (direct from a voodoo-themed show at the Tropicana) in witch doctor makeup.
The other 31 episodes included in I Love Lucy: The Compete Second Season have choice moments, too. "Lucy Becomes a Sculptress" finds the ever-ambitious redhead falling for empty flattery at an art-supply store and commencing an ill-advised career working in clay. Ricky agrees to bless this new endeavor if an art critic says she has talent, but Lucy tries to increase her chances by posing as a bust of herself--resulting in mayhem, of course. The usual running themes in I Love Lucy--Lucy's misguided desire to be a part of Ricky's musical career, and her penchant for disguising herself to investigate something--are all over The Complete Second Season. "Ricky Loses His Voice" is a delightful piece in which Ricky's laryngitis inspires Lucy, the Mertzes, and an aging chorus line to put on a Tropicana spectacle, and "Ricky Has Labor Pains" finds Lucy and Ethel going undercover as male reporters to find out what happens at a stag party. Lots to enjoy here, and the special features include bloopers, information about the guest cast, and snippets from Ball's radio show. --Tom Keogh

I have finally decided to go and buy the new edition first season of I love on dvd and I am glad that I did. I had the old edition that was released in 2003, and I hated that whenever I would go to my dvd shelf and see season 2-6 in the compact boxes and then I have to look down and see those bulky boxes from season 1, it made me so angry that I spent almost a hundred bucks and regret not having the newer edition that costs a lot less and plus each dics has more than 4 shows on it. I get tired of having to trade out the dvds every hour to put in a different one in. I have debated on keeping my first set for collectors reasons, or to just sell it because I don't need 2 of the first season and I need more space as well. I decided that I would put them up for auction and sell them, knowing... More Info about this DVD Director(s): Ralph Levy - James V.

Wow! The price of these dvds has realy shot down since there first release. I remember going to the stores the same day that they were released and paying about fourty five to fifety dollars for the season and I couldn't wait for each following season to come out, I spent a lot of dollars on these seasons, but it is truly worth it when you can find a program that you love to watch over and over again. Season 3-4 are definitely my favorite seasons to watch, and the picture quality of the dvds are absolutely remarkable. It is 10X better than watching I love Lucy on regular tv and you can definitely tell the difference when I love Lucy comes on cable tv. I have wondered if they will actually start making these sets in color and it is a big possibility for the future. I mean I love the black...

This is my all=time favorite season. When the Ricardo & Mertz's go to Hollywood these are my favorite ones and they make me laugh the most. I think this is when the series was at its best. Lucy gets into such trouble and somehow finds a way out of it all. More Info about this DVD Director(s): Ralph Levy - James V.

I Love Lucy: The Complete Fifth Season finds Lucy Ricardo (Lucille Ball) making an international mess out of husband Ricky's globe-trotting tour as an entertainer. Beginning with "Lucy Visits Grauman's" and "Lucy and John Wayne," the impulsive redhead risks Ricky's sanity in Hollywood by stealing a cement slab, from the famous entrance to Grauman's Chinese Theater, that contains the imprint of John Wayne's footprints and signature. In the tradition of superstars playing themselves on I Love Lucy, an exasperated (and very funny) Wayne gets into the act over and over and over again, making new imprints on multiple slabs because Lucy keeps messing up the results. After more shenanigans in Los Angeles (Lucy attends a ritzy party with a dummy substituting for her unavailable... More Info about this DVD Director(s): Ralph Levy - James V.

The sixth and final season of I Love Lucy finds new laughs in some old formulas while also expanding the hugely popular show’s horizons with a change of scene. Things get off to a familiar start when Lucy Ricardo (Lucille Ball) gets in the middle of husband Ricky’s business--in this case, disguising herself as a hot dog salesman at Yankee Stadium in order to get near Bob Hope. Hope, she believes, has ignored Ricky’s offer to be the first act at his new nightclub. But, in fact, Hope had already agreed; Ricky was just sitting on the information to keep Lucy from getting typically ditzy in front of one of his celebrity pals. Not surprisingly, mayhem follows when poor Hope finds his hand slathered with condiments and his noggin bonked by a foul ball. Other celebrity...
