At 3:50 the helicopter ride will begin and take you over the studio including the 40 acre backlot.

I thought the back lot does not exist anymore, wasn't it demolished in the 80's?

It was this is when Desilu bought the studio and backlot years ago.

Those would make great extras!

Actually this was included on I Love Lucy Seasons 7,8,9 release (the hour long shows) as a bonus. It's also available on many public domain releases as well.

I need to go back and watch these then, LOL. I didn't see those.

I don't have the set with me here at home - I left it at our summer place - but I'm pretty sure it is on the second disc of the hour shows. I could be wrong, though, but the complete show is there. A very fun, and interesting "episode!"

Thanks for the info, I'll definately look for it tonight.
