I Love Lucy DVDs #5 &#6 coming 4/01/03 - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

dlemond · 01-17-2003, 02:09 PM

The next two ILL dvds are being released on April 1.

#5 - Includes: "Lucy Fakes Illness", "Lucy Writes A Play", "Breaking The Lease", and "The Ballet".

#6 - Includes: "The Young Fans", "New Neighbors", "Fred And Ethel Fight", and "The Moustache".

That would make 3 more dvds remaining to finish off the first season.

It will go like this if it's 4 episodes a disc:

#7 - "The Gossip", "Pioneer Women","The Marriage License"
and "The Kleptomaniac"

#8 - "Cuban Pals", "The Freezer", "Lucy Does a TV Commercial" and "The Publicity Agent"

#9 - "Lucy Gets Ricky on the Radio", "Lucy's Schedule","Ricky Thinks He's Getting Bald" and "Ricky Asks for a Raise"

Cool. I still only have one. Sucks being poor.

April 1st! Good day...

I thought the handcuffs episode was in season 1?

LucyFan · 01-17-2003, 09:28 PM

Great!

I can't wait!

i got a question

i see that these DVDs are coming out by 4 episodes per disc, at this rate it will take FOREVER to get all of the episodes on dvd. do u think its worth buying? i havent boughten any because Ive seen the episodes so many times-and they do show reruns on tv....but do u seriously think its worth buying? i mean if its 15-20 bucks per dvd.... thats alot of money spent.

From what I have read, only season one will have five or six dvds with four episodes each per DVD but it will be different with the other seasons because they will be coming in ONE DVD per season which consistes of the amount of episodes that were in the season. lol, get what I am saying?

I bought the first 2 DVD's and they were only $9.99 apiece. Sure, it will still be a lot for all of season 1 and I have them all on tape so I don't think I'm going to buy them.

It's worth it for the extras. IMHO the radio show My Favourite Wife wasn't as good as ILL, but it makes fascinating listening, hearing some of Lucy's earlier work, and where some of the ILL ideas and scripts came from. Then there's the other bits too - pointing out some of the things that went wrong, bits of interview, some bits of script... Plus of course, much better quality sound and picture, and the ability to leap to anywhere in the episode you want, straight away, including going straight to the songs, if you're of a mind to.

And basically DVD is best anyway!

*ShortCake* · 01-18-2003, 04:28 PM

AHH!! I love Lucy fakes an illness!! that is one of my favorite episodes.. thanks for letting us know when its going to come out!

SPLAIN · 01-21-2003, 02:17 PM

Considering they will last forever, it IS worth it, you know they might not always be on TV like they are now! And i also agree about the extras, worth the price, but i'd rather they came out season by season, you don't always have to be on the lookout for them!

yea i agree, cos then u'll be lookin around for a like 5 different volumes of season 1. if it came out by season, it would be so much simpler

Mickey · 01-21-2003, 06:09 PM

I don't like season by season releases so much - they cost more, so I have to pay import duty, and my local post office gets ratty about things like that! Incidentally, even including that, and transatlantic postage rates, the total is still less than it would be to buy them from British shops if the shows were released over here. The UK gets terrifically overcharged for DVDs
