I Love Lucy - The Final Seasons: 7, 8 & 9 (The Lucy-Desi Comedy Hour) DVD Review - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

LUUUUCY! America's favorite redhead is gracing our television screens for one more go around as that wacky Lucy Ricardo. Lucille Ball, Desi Arnaz, William Frawley and Vivian Vance reunited for 13-hour long episodes of I LOVE LUCY, spanning the years of 1957, 1958 and 1959. The show relied on big name guest stars and good old-fashioned comedy. For the last time, I LOVE LUCY, or now known as THE LUCY-DESI COMEDY HOUR, is available on DVD.

Wow! This is the best review for the set I've read. It's nice knowing exactly what's on each disc. Thanks!

Wasn't the I Love Lucy movie supposed to be included in this set? What happened to that?

Has anyone here seen the rare on-set color footage that's included in the dvd set? If you have, can you please post some info about what it shows.

Season 7-9 Lucy fans beware....
On the 1st disc - episode #2 - The Celebrity Next Door there is a crucial scene missing at 24:04. This scene is right after Fred & Ethel collide with the pie. The missing scene is Miss Bankhead tells Lucy that she is allergic to strawberries. Now this scene appears on the We Love Lucy specials from the early 90's. Funny thing is this episode is severly edited when it appears on that special. Here it is suppose to be uncut/unedited & here - the most crucial scene setting up the main gag at the end of the episode - is missing. We know the scene exists - but where did it go? Please contact Paramount to get the scene put back in for either a replacement disc or for the future complete I Love Lucy set. Thank you!!
