The Lucy Show official first season has f-i-n-a-l-l-y....been formally announced for release July 21st!!!!!

I'm pinching myself, afraid I'm dreaming. It has been a long, long wait. I don't remember the last time I was this excited over a news item at TVSHOWSONDVD.com!

...and so happy they are NOT splitting into volumes, like My Three Sons, Mod Squad, etc. I only hope they did not have to edit the episodes for music clearance. "Lucy is a Chaperone" is one my favorites this season, and I really want "Big Girls Don't Cry" to be intact.

McGillicuddy · 04-20-2009, 02:50 PM

Yeah, thats the one thing we don't know about yet. There weren't any problems with music clearances in I Love Lucy at all that I know of, so I hope its the same with LS.

I am ecstatic!!! The packaging is fantastic, and the message from CBS is a nice touch. It's great to know they took all the fans' messages to heart!

Jude The Obscure · 04-20-2009, 11:43 PM

Persistence by the fans really paid off and I think CBS will be shocked at the sales! and immediately order the transfer of season 2 to HD to prep it for DVD release

I am so excited! I love the cover art. The big picture is from my favorite episode Lucy puts up a Tv antenna! I can not wait for this. this will be the longest two/three months of my life. LOL but what episode is the picture from where lucy is wrapped in a towel with a mud mask on?

likewow · 04-21-2009, 04:06 PM

That image is from another all time favorite episode, "Lucy Puts in a Shower."

Fantastic. Its on my want list.

Seeing the CBS comment that they used the original film negatives gives me great hope that we will see increadibly sharp images, like most of us have not seen before for this show. If any have seen the first season of Perry Mason on DVD the difference in quality of the picture between the DVD using the original film negatives and the film (or video) now used in syndication is striking. I hope that also means that these shows run the full original length and not some syndicated length. Though nowhere does CBS' announcement use the word "unedited". The lack of that word gives me some pause.

Do we know the retail price? It is says nothing about suggested price in the press release and it isn't on Amazon yet.

If CBS transferred these from the original film negatives, then yes, they are unedited! These will not be the Daytime CBS prints that Nick at Nite used from 92-96 (and which I have on tape). This is just about the best DVD news of the year--along with MPI putting out Here's Lucy and the Lucy Specials--these companies will all benefit from Lucy fans everywhere buying it up!
