Bring on Season 2!! - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

C'mon CBS make it official and announce season 2 already, esp in time for holiday sales!!

Season 2 still has a lot of great, fun episodes and the two parter that introduces the one and only Theodore J. Mooney is just classic

There are a few episodes I ended up missing on the Nick run so some will be brand new to me--including the one where Jack Benny plays a plumber!

I was hoping we would hear an announcement soon too. On the heels of the successful release of Season 1, this could make a great follow-up and be on the shelves for the holidays. I heard they were working on it but I'm not sure when they are aiming for a release date.

You have to remember that there's a huge process involved in restoring these shows to pristine condition, including original intros and such. With that in mind, and given that we're in a recession, CBS probably waited until the set was released so that they could see how well the set sells first before shelving out more cash to do further seasons. I'd guess that this is why there hasn't been an announcement yet.

One thing is for sure though, that the set sold very well and so Season 2 is due to come out as soon as humanly possible.

I know this Ed......it is just a statement of encouragement

I don't think CBS actually comes to this board

How do you know that Season 1 sold well. I bought it, and I'm hoping it did, but, how well did it sell? How did you find out how well it sold?

Oh, ok. Just making sure. I'm thrilled with the enthusiasm but the thing that I love about the set is that it was done RIGHT. The remaining seasons won't be done right if they rush through the process to quell our desire for faster releases. I don't mind waiting if at the end of the day we end up with a stellar product. Glad you feel the same.

It was mentioned at amazon.com that it was in the top 5 or 10 and I remember reading an article online stating that sales exceeded the expectations of CBS. In other words, we're guaranteed Season 2. Pour the champagne!

Okay, cool! Thanks for the information. I am so excited for Season 2 (in fact, all of the seasons), and I just want to make sure we get them all! I can wait, as long as they are done right, but, I hope we'll get an announcement soon!

Robert 13 · 08-13-2009, 09:44 AM

It is Lucy afterall. I don't think CBS imagined it would sell anywhere near as well as "I Love Lucy". Now that it has, maybe they will work on both Seasons 2 & 3 so that they are released in quick succession. That would be excellent and they both contain some of my very favorite episodes. "The Camp Cooks" episode on Season 3 is a scream.

Thats the way I feel, take the time to get it done right. I'm anxious for it too, but if they need time to pull all that great stuff together, take the time !!!

rcbrad · 08-14-2009, 07:59 PM

It funny that you mentioned "The Camp Cooks" This is one of the episodes that I am really looking forward to seeing again in particular.

Jude The Obscure · 08-17-2009, 10:33 PM

I'm looking forward to seeing Lucy and Viv compete in the pie bake off! Oh that is so FUNNNNNNNNNNY!! Viv being so smug "I told you so! I told you so! I told you so!" and Lucy mocking her right back

And with Kathleen Freeman and Mary Jane Croft added in--what a great episode.

Also when they take in those two con men who use the ruse of the World's Fair to plan a bank heist

I also love the Ann Sothern "Countess" episodes!

I can't wait for season two to come out so I can see all these episodes you're describing!

Jude The Obscure · 08-17-2009, 11:00 PM

Well some of them are in Season 3, Marv

Well then I can't wait for season three to come out too! I just hope the seasons are released at a reasonable rate.

Robert 13 · 08-18-2009, 11:51 AM

Season 1 was highly-anticipated and a very exciting release for Lucy fans. If CBS waits too long, they could miss the bus on all this excitement. Strike while the iron is hot.
