A highlight of this set is the first-ever home video release of the uncut version of "Lucy Takes a Cruise to Havana," a flashback episode in which Lucy meets Ricky on a "maiden voyage" to Cuba. She also meets future best friend Ethel (Vivian Vance) and her new husband Fred (a toupeed William Frawley), and goes overboard for her first celebrity sighting, Rudy Vallee. Because these episodes do not play as often in syndication, they seem fresher than their endlessly re-run counterparts. They are full of delights for movie, TV, and Lucy buffs, among them, Fred MacMurray getting "Uranium" fever, Maurice Chevalier singing "Yankee Doodle Boy" in the "Mexico" episode, prolific character actor Sid Melton as a bellboy in the "Alaska" episode, and a va-voom Vance decked out as maid and a dance hall girl, respectively, in the "The Celebrity Next Door" and "Milton Berle" episodes. Among this set's prodigious bonus features include 1951 color footage that an audience member surreptitiously filmed, rediscovered scenes that were cut from the original broadcasts, and a filmed presentation to Westinghouse, which sponsored the series. If you don't add this to your library, you have some 'splainin' to do. --Donald Liebenson

Customer Reviews of I Love Lucy - The Complete Seasons 7-9
I Love Lucy Seasons 7-9 Excellent shows. It is nice to enjoy the last shows that Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz did together.
Finally all 13 Lucy Desi Comedy Hours on DVD!
When I Love Lucy used to still be on Nick at Nite, I would stay up all night sometimes just to watch! Then they started airing the special Lucy-Desi Comedy Hours every Saturday evening. Watching these hour long episodes of Lucy's antics was much more entertainment than going out or anything else could have been! I recorded them all on VHS, but unfortunately no longer have a VCR. I am very happy that they are now available on DVD!

>What can I say about it that has not been said already? All 13 episodes are hilarious, as always. They all had famous guest appearances by big stars of the time like Maurice Chevalier, Tallulah Bankhead, Fernando Lamas, Red Skelton, Milton Berle, Rudy Vallee, Ann Southern, Betty Grable, Ernie Kovacs, and many more!

>I am more than happy with this DVD set from Paramount. Not only are all 13 episodes included uncut, there are also many extras, including specials like color footage of on-the-set filming or original cast commercials. The tone and the picture of the actual episodes are wonderfully restored and transfered to DVD! It is almost like you could be watching it live on TV for the first time... The picture and sound are that good.

>Buying this set really made my day and I think now that it is possible, I will be spending my next few Saturday evenings with Lucy and Ricky again! :)
Lucy Desi Comedy Hour - THE COMPLETE SERIES
If you just looked at this product or own the DVD'S, you know that the show is relly the Lucy Desi Comedy Hour. I got a little disapointed when they titled it "I Love Lucy" - don't get the wrong impression, I have been a fan of this show since in began in 1958, but what disapointed me was they did not title in "The Lucy Desi Comedy Hour" I pre-ordered this item months in advance like any life long Lucy fan probably did, and I have watched all of the episodes countless times since March 13, 2007. I am happy they released it on DVD, just not what they title it. If you own the item, or look closely at the picture, it will say "The Lucy Desi Comedy Hour" in small print. Also, I do not understand why they made the box small, so, look at the I Love Lucy sets, they are 4 DVD sets and the box is HUGE, this set in 4 DVD'S, but the box is so small. The show ran for three years with a total of 13 episodes. Starring Lucille Ball, Dezi Arnaz, Vivian Vance, and William Frawley.

> Anyway, if you stuck to reading this review this long, I will stop complaining of the company who released this. The last episode in this set with the guest star, Ernie Kovacs was the last episode Lucille Ball played her famous character, Lucy Ricardo. Also, the day after filming the last episode, Lucille Ball divorced Desi Arnaz. Again, if you stuck to reading this review, I hope it was helpful, and if it wasn't I am sorry.
