The Lucy Show - a release in 2009 - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

rjt100 · 07-22-2008, 06:40 PM

CBS/Paramount to release "The Lucy Show" in early 2009. I was left a message from Ken Ross head of CBS/Paramount Home Entertainment and he assure me that "The Lucy Show" would be a great follow-up to "I Love Lucy." There has been a delay due to the public domain episodes (30 to be exact), music cost and restoration cost, but we can see a release in early 2009. I do hope they release the series in season sets. I can't wait! "The Lucy Show" is a classic series that gets overlooked a lot because of the popularity of "I Love Lucy."

Great news....I'll be thrilled to at least have the first three seasons released, or even just the first, my particular favorite!

Robert 13 · 07-23-2008, 11:27 AM

Me too! I hope it doesn't take too long for this to get released. Season 1 is one of my favorites as well. Too bad they couldn't get it out for Christmas since it has the Christmas and New Year's episodes on it.

Well, I hope this is true and I would be happy if just the Vivian Vance years see a release.

I don't understand how public domain episodes would delay a release--most of the ones are from the California era, not from the Vivian Vance years (I know of only two--The Barbershop Quartet and Lucy and Viv Put in a shower)

I like the first season the best too. I hope that's what they release.

Six more months until the New Year, LOL. I can't wait, got to have them!

This is so exciting!I'd love a season set of "The Lucy Show".The first season along with the second season were definitely my favorite seasons of the series.

I wonder if we should wait for the complete series which may contain new bonus material like they did with I Love Lucy.

Sad but true.

If it sells well, why wouldn't they? It's Paramount, not those other crappy companies that abandon shows with regularity.

storrs19 · 09-07-2008, 11:36 AM

Wow! At this speedy pace it will only be about 14 years before we have The Lucy Show and Here's Lucy on official dvd sets. Pathetic that it should take so long for a classic comedy like this to get a legitimate dvd release.

You shouldn't wait for a complete series. If nobody buys the individual season sets, they'll never be a complete set. They'll release season one, see it isn't selling, and that'll be it. The loyal fans always get screwed, but if it weren't for us buying all the individual sets, further season sets wouldn't come out. Then the casual fans can buy the complete set when it comes out. It's the sad truth.
