Lucy/Desi Collection on the way (not the TV series)... - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

TV DVD Fan · 02-01-2006, 05:24 PM

The Digital Bits released a list yesterday of upcoming Warner releases, one of which is a "Lucy/Desi Collection", comprising 3 of their classic films for 29.98 SRP. The films are THE LONG, LONG TRAILER and TOO MANY GIRLS and FOREVER DARLING. This will naturally be released very close to the final season of ILL, on May 9th, one week after season six's release.

So, THE LONG, LONG TRAILER fans can rejoice and take a deep breath (as well as fans of the other two films), as its finally coming to DVD!

Hopefully, there will be bonuses (nothing yet though).

The Long Long Trailer is the only one I have seen. It was alright but very weird. I don't think this one set I will pick up until I see the other two. I think AMC aired one of them in the middle of the night a few weeks ago.

What do you mean by weird?

gilligan fanatic · 02-01-2006, 07:30 PM

like I was thinking of them as the Ricardos and they weren't. They will different characters that's all.

Kazza · 02-01-2006, 08:14 PM

Yeah, it takes a while to set them apart from the Ricardos. My DD's still think they are.

I have The Long Long Trailer on DVD, Forever Darling, and Too Many Girls on VHS. Any word on The Desilu Comedy Hour? That's what I really want.

Not yet, be patient- we don't even have out season six yet (not until May).

How do you have a movie on DVD that has never been released before on DVD?

Gregg Oppenheimer (son of ILL's producer/head writer for 5 of its 6 years on the air, Jess Oppenheimer) is not planning on producing "The Lucy-Desi Comedy Hour" episodes on DVD; he produced all 6 seasons of ILL on DVD. But he thinks CBS will release them sometime after Season 6 of ILL is released.

Sometimes, copies of "The Long, Long Trailer" are auctioned off on eBay (usually just DVD-R copies of the offically-released VHS)...I have a copy of it on DVD myself (from eBay). I've also seen a few websites that sell it on DVD.

Very odd, Gregg did a wonderful job with ILL on DVD.

Well I think they were meant to be similar to the Ricardo's in this movie. Look at the names: Nicky and what was hers? Tacy or something?

TV DVD Fan · 02-10-2006, 08:53 PM

THE LONG, LONG TRAILER was released in 1949, two years before ILL premiered.

it was? I always thought it came out in 53 or 54 or something, to take advantage of the popularity of ILL. I thought I read that somewhere, once.

It was filmed in the summer of '53 and released in February of '54.
