The Lucy Show - The Official Third Season DVD Review - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Lucy and Viv are together again for the last time (as regulars, anyway) in The Lucy Show - The Official Third Season! Lucille Ball's second big hit on CBS continues on DVD with The Official Third Season. In this season, the second season that was filmed in color, Lucy and Viv are still roommates living together in Danville, raising their kids in one house together and driving banker Mr. Mooney nuts. That will all change in the fourth season, as Vivian Vance leaves the series and Lucy (along with Mr. Mooney) picks up and moves out to California, but for now, the series stays true to the roots of how the series began.

While the series doesn't quite have the legacy that the previous series I Love Lucy had, it is still very much a hilarious series that has earned a place in classic TV history, and would perhaps be much more popular if not overshadowed by it's predecessor. The Lucy Show, particularly in the first three years, had many great moments and shorelines that can be seen in this four disc set, the first time that this season has ever been released on DVD.

I think it's interesting that CBS DVD can issue impeccable episodes of The Lucy Show, and even include sponsor openings and cast commercials. On the other hand, the Gomer Pyle episodes from CBS DVD are hacked to pieces with music segments deleted. I guess it shows what the power of Lucy can do.
