the DESI-LUCY COMEDY IS COMING TO DVD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:wave: :wave: :wave: :talk: :talk:

'bout time...i have them all on tape, but dvd's going to be so much better!

What tvshowsondvd.com failed to mention (or didn't know) was that the prints used for this release will be the syndicated versions of the Comedy Hours. That means the 75 minute "Lucy Takes A Cruise To Havana" will still be unavailable. But don't worry, unlike the Jess Oppenheimer releases where the missing footage was re-edited back into the episode, this release will have all missing footage available as bonus material. That's what I've been understanding from the welovelucy.com website. Very disappointing :(

If the DVD isn't from the original master films, then it isn't worth anything. What a shame? So, it won't have the quality look of the I Love Lucy Dvds?

I don't understand how they could do that to the final 13 episodes of "I Love Lucy". If they digitally remastered seasons 1 - 6, why couldn't they do it for these shows? That is lame.

I've been waiting so long for these but now I'm not sure. I hope the price isn't outrageous. I will probably buy them anyway and suffer with the quality. It is strange that Amazon.com doesn't have a pre-order option yet. I was able to get on other lists for items that weren't being released for months.

Rare home movie footage of the set in color
13 digitally remastered episodes
Full length Havana episodes (hasn't been seen since original broadcast)
Deleted scenes
Flubs
3 original Ford Motor Co. Commercials

This is a list of the extras for seasons seven, eight, and nine. Looks like there was no need to worry over the Havana episodes. (from Amazon)

I cant until I Love Lucy Comedy Hour Comes out on DVD

Full length Havana episode! Yes, yes, YES!!!!!! Finally, the complete episode available! (The edited version of the show, without the Hedda Hopper scenes, is really a different version of this episode. I don't mind if both versions are available, but I think that the complete 75 minute show should be available!)
