Customer Reviews of The Lucy Show: The Lost Episodes Marathon (1960s series)

Great Series
Lucille Ball's second TV Show "The Lucy Show" doesn't seem to come close to her first, the extremely popular "I Love Lucy", in amount of reruns syndicated on television. This is a shame since the quality of the two shows are very similar. In the series, Lucy stars as Lucy Carmichael, a zany secretary working in a Hollywood bank for her stodgy boss, Mr. Mooney. Lucy's less-than-efficient secretarial skills and wacky hijacks frequently infuriate her boss, but somehow she is loyal to him not matter what. The five episodes included in this DVD feature some famous guest stars including Carol Burnette (playing Lucy's librarian roommate Carol), and John Wayne, Milton Berle, Ruta Lee, and George Burns. Like in "I Love Lucy", Lucille's character fawning over the movie stars is very amusing and even though the series was made a decade after "I Love Lucy", she still does much of her physical comedy pretty well. The picture quality of the episodes is not the best and the menu navigation for the DVD is somewhat confusing, but those problems are not bad enough to distract from the shows. While its not quite as good as Lucy's first show, it's still a great show and worth a look if you enjoy "I Love Lucy" or Lucille Ball.

A great dvd
This dvd takes some of the funniest episodes from the series. The Dvd is put together quite well and episodes are taped better than vhs. The only problem is with 1 or 2 episodes it splits for a quick second, but i would recommend to anyone who like any Lucille Ball items.

Wholesome fun
Being only 22 and from the UK I don't remember this show from the first time around, just from the repeats played on cable during school breaks.

Lucy's humor is much tamer than anything else that was on TV 10 years ago (even the cartoons) but you can't help but roll around laughing with every episode.

The first episode starts off slow and the menu is trial and error to find, but you will get hooked.

I've come back for more, but the reviews of the other DVD's has put me off so I'll be waiting till June for the "I Love Lucy" DVD's.

I'd say the quality of this one is v.good though for something filmed in the 60's, I strongley recommend it. Especially the one with George Burns.
