Lucy DVD Release - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

how close do you think we are to seeing season set releases of:

The Lucy Show
Here's Lucy
Life with Lucy

TV DVD Fan · 06-16-2007, 05:47 PM

Well, let's take a look:

Don't expect LIFE WITH LUCY anytime soon... it's kind of a flop of a show that gained little to none recognition (I've never even seen the show, but I've heard about it since I am a diehard Lucy fan).

THE LUCY SHOW is probably coming soon... I think CBS DVD did very well with the ILL franchise (they even released the LUCY-DESI COMEDY HOURS), and they want to capitalize on Lucy as much as possible... granted it's not as big a seller as a modern show, but Lucy is still Lucy and is going to sell well no matter what. I'd expect the first season by Christmas of this year at the latest.

HERE'S LUCY Paramount MIGHT decide to pick up AFTER they do (assuming they do) THE LUCY SHOW's six seasons, but since we already have a Shout! Factory best-of set that didn't sell well, I'm sure PHE heard about it and probably aren't all-that-anxious to release full seasons. (Fans out there, if you were hesitant on buying the set because you want full seasons, go out and purchase the set ASAP, because it's one hell of a set, plus it furthers our cause to get full seasons out.)

So there you have it. Just when we thought PHE exhausted the Lucy library, they've only begun the excavation.

i've heard mixed reviews on how the Best of Here's Lucy sold.
and i have a bootleg copy of Life With Lucy and it was really a cute show.

i am just going to keep writing and voting. i hope youre right..The Lucy Show by Christmas !!

Who exactly owns the rights to Here's Lucy? We can assume it is Paramount because they pretty much own everything Lucy, but at the end of the episodes that aired on Sun TV after season one it was Warner Brothers logo that showed up after the show.

sigmapi30 · 06-20-2007, 08:36 PM

according to www.tvshowsondvd.com paramount owns the rights

TV DVD Fan · 06-20-2007, 08:46 PM

It might be Warner, but I have a hunch PHE will end up releasing the show if anybody does (other than Shout!, of course).

sigmapi30 · 06-22-2007, 02:01 PM

do you have an address for Paramount? i try to use the Contact Us section on their website but it will not allow me to email for some reason.

TV DVD Fan · 06-22-2007, 02:17 PM

Nope, sorry.

Maybe we'll here more about The Lucy Show after the complete I Love Lucy collection is released.

sigmapi30 · 06-25-2007, 06:57 PM

I hope so..the thing with the complete series release...
it makes me think they believe there is only a market for ILL.
I hope that's not true.

TV DVD Fan · 06-25-2007, 10:25 PM

PHE tries to cash in on all their shows, just like they did with THE BRADY BUNCH and THE ANDY GRIFFITH SHOW. Don't worry, we'll eventually see THE LUCY SHOW officially released...

sigmapi30 · 06-26-2007, 08:33 PM

thats positive thinking!! we can certainly hope to see it soon!

sigmapi30 · 07-10-2007, 02:28 PM
