Here's Lucy - Season Two DVD Review

[TJ]

Lucy Carter, her brother-in law Harry, and two teenage kids, Kim and Chris, are back! Season Two of Here's Lucy brings 24 more episodes of Lucille Ball's final CBS sitcom to DVD on a four-disc set that is loaded with special features.

Here's Lucy was the series that replaced, well, another Lucy series, namely The Lucy Show. Even though The Lucy Show was doing well-enough ratings-wise, Lucille Ball had just sold Desilu (the producer of the series) and wanted to create her own series under her new production company, Lucille Ball Productions. The end result was a series that was a lot like The Lucy Show, but changed the workplace from a bank to an employment agency (with Gale Gordon still playing her boss, although now he was her brother-in-law, Harrison Carter) and adding two teenage children played by Lucille Ball's own children, Lucie Arnaz and Desi Arnaz, Jr. The series was focused purely upon the comedic genius of what Lucy was all about, even if she was much older than she was when she began her first series.

By the second season, the series had not really changed much, but it was already beginning to become more celebrity based, with guest stars such as Johnny Carson, Carol Burnett, Liberace, Wayne Newton, Wally Cox, Milton Berle, and more. Still, we have many episodes in this set that are focused on the Carter household and the employment agency. With no further adieu, here's Lucy!
