"The Milton Berle Special" with Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz Available Now on DVD

[Benno123]

I have not seen this mentioned here yet, but this previous Tuesday Jersey Productions, distributed by Legend Films, released the November 1, 1959 TV special The Milton Berle Special on DVD. This also stars Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz as Lucy and Ricky Ricardo, I believe that this leaves just the Ann Sothern Show "The Lucy Story" to be released and all performances of Lucille Ball as Lucy Ricardo have been made available for purchase on DVD. (I am not including cast appearances like on Ed Sullivan's show - though I have yet to see the September 30, 1956 appearance appear among collectors yet - and any Desilu Playhouse shows with cast members.)

I think the entire "Desilu Review" show was on YouTube a couple years back. I watched part of it, but by the time I got around to checking out the rest it had already been removed. Has the Milton Berle episode with William Frawley & Vivian Vance as Fred & Ethel been officially released?

Are you talking about the Lucy-Desi Hour with Milton Berle? The entire series was released on DVD years ago.

No. Vivian Vance & William Frawley were guests on The Milton Berle Show/Texaco Star Theater in 1954. According to IMDb, "Miltie rents a new rehearsal hall from landlords Fred and Ethel Mertz."
