I Love Lucy - The Complete First Season

I Love Lucy - The Complete First Season
Here's how it all began-the classic episodes that started America's long-running love affair with everyone's favorite madcap redhead Lucille Ball. Plus the rarely seen pilot episode that sold the I Love Lucy series. By the end of its initial season I Love Lucy was TV's first bona fide smash-hit-the very first program seen in more than 10 million homes. America just couldn't get enough of this stunning new comedy talent-Lucy as a less-than-poised would-be ballerina in "The Ballet" Lucy battling the world's longest loaf of bread in "Pioneer Women" and Lucy in her greatest performance as the health tonic-guzzling TV pitchwoman for "Vitameatavegamin" in "Lucy Does a TV Commercial." ("And it's so tasty too!")

Customer Review: A Real Funny Classic
This set is great and here is why: - If you're a fan of golden age classic comedy shows, then this is a great treat for you. - The sound and video quality of the DVD was amazing. I have watched old episodes on tv of I Love Lucy and the difference is huge! You would enjoy a the clear voice even if sometimes you can't figure out some of Ricky Recardo words :) The bonus material were not much, but you don't really buy the DVD for the bonus material do you? the DVD's include some never-seen footage, and some other related material.
Customer Review: I Love Lucy The Complete Fist Season
This is probably one of the best Paramount releases out there. I first got an I Love Lucy on Christmas of 2004 and it was the second season set. About two years later, I was at Best Buy and got the slim packet of the first season. It was even better than season two! The episodes are clean and crisp and I wouldn't be suprised if they look better than they did when they first aired on CBS. That brings me to another point, each episode starts with a title card saying the name of the episode and when it first came out; brilliant! This release has a total of 36 episodes, including the pilot. All 36 are put in 7 DVDs. Each disc has bonus features including flubs, some of which are very interesting to see, guest cast information, special features ( usually restored music or dialouge ),original openings, complete episodes of Lucy's radio series, and production notes.
