"I Love Lucy" on DVD. Please read! - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Lisa_Marie_Presley_Fan · 05-25-2003, 11:40 PM

I read in TVGuide that the 1st season of "ILL" will be coming to DVD later on this year, and I was wondering, if the movie "Lucy" came out, would you buy it?

Mickey · 05-26-2003, 04:02 AM

If that means that they're releasing a box set of S1 at the end of the year that's going to annoy a lot of people!

The S1 DVDs are wellworth buying, but I know I wouldn'tbe interested in any connected movies - except The Long, Long Trailer!

SPLAIN · 05-26-2003, 10:05 AM

Why would we have to buy it, first it wasn't that good, second, we copied it when it aired. As for the Season one ILL collection, bring it on! Finally, all 35 episodes together in one boxed set!

Leigh Ann · 05-26-2003, 10:17 AM

I hope season 1 will come out on DVD all together. I'm fixing to buy one of the DVDs that are already out, this week. As for the "Lucy" movie on DVD, I'd probably buy it, to see it without the commercials and weather updates.

SPLAIN · 05-26-2003, 10:39 AM

Well, i did buy the first one Before the Laughter, so i'm sure i will buy this one too, it's just that i was so dissapointed with all the errors they made, but i'm sure i'll enjoy it more whjen i watch it again and don't expect too much.

Well yeah, but a bit annoying for the people who have already bought them all singly! Can we just by the box?!

SPLAIN · 05-27-2003, 10:09 AM

Good one Mickey! But i'm sure you can sell them to someone, not to worry. It just drives me batty when i see every obscure show available on DVD season by season and not the most popular TV show of all time!

Mickey · 05-27-2003, 05:04 PM

The most popular TV show of all time is Doctor Who.

And it's okay, I don't want to get rid of my single DVDs to get the box set. I'd rather buy them singly all the way down the line. One DVD is £9.99. A box set is more like £60, and that's a lot in one go, especially with Customs duty on top!

And roll on more season sets of obscure shows! I like obscure shows. I want a VR.5 box set!

*ShortCake* · 05-28-2003, 12:55 PM

Hmm.. ok, anyways LOL I will buy it too! I dont care if i have the first 6 dvds lol... what can ya say im weird, I like to spend my money on Lucy stuff!!

SPLAIN · 05-28-2003, 12:56 PM

Doctor Who, apt title, i was just going to ask Doctor who? What the heck is that? I must say i LOVE British humor, the Monty Python troupe, The Carry On Movies, Peter Sellers, Keeping Up Appearances and Brideshead Revisited to name just a few, i have the BBC on my satellite, which shows are a must see?

Mickey · 05-29-2003, 05:14 AM

BBC shows worth watching? The only ones they show that I'd bother to watch are all American. We can't make good TV at the moment. The sitcoms are worst of all.

Manchild is good, actually. It's about four men of about fifty who do very embarrassing things to try to stay cool. For some reason you've got to like them, even though they do dreadful things, and the chemistry between the cast members is like nothing I've seen in years.

But what do you mean, Doctor who?! It's one of the most famous shows in the world. Science fiction, about a time travelling alien who likes saving everybody. Largely from wobbly monsters that the budget didn't stretch to making mor realistic. Classic stuff!

SPLAIN · 05-29-2003, 10:12 AM

I have been watching TV since i was five and i have seriously NEVER heard of it, and i read everything about TV. Seriously though, you know what the REAL most important show the world has ever known is, don't you? It's the ONLY show inducted into the TV Hall of Fame in the States. I'm not big on science fiction, maybe that's why i don't know it.

Mickey · 05-29-2003, 11:14 AM

If it's the only show inducted into the TV Hall of Fame in the US, that can't be a very big hall.

Seriously, Doctor Who is the biggest thing in British TV. It ran from 1963-1989 on TV, and has been running in books since then, plus a movie in 1996 and a series of audio dramas. It wins every 'favourite TV show' that international pollsters run, and the Doc himself recently won the 'best TV character of all time' poll conducted by some big magazine. You can find the Official Site here, and notice I'm playing this up for all it's worth, whether you're interested or not! Can't believe there's somebody who's never heard of it. The little hypnotic suggestions planted deep inside my mind by the BBC are screaming Indoctrinate the non-believer. Indoctrinate, indoctrinate, indoctrinate! But then we all have our crosses to bear...

He's a guy, okay? And he travels around time and space in a phone box, which is huge inside. And he regenerates. And he fights Daleks. Which are pepperpots armed with sink plungers. And he's cool.

And he was best when he was Peter Davison, but that's very much a generational thing...

*ShortCake* · 05-29-2003, 01:27 PM

LOL Claude I am with you .. I havent heard of Doctor Who either.. course I am not a sci-fi fan though. So that is my excuse!

SPLAIN · 05-29-2003, 02:51 PM

Ok, well i was hoping the cover would remind me of a DVD or video i would have seen, but i never have seen or heard of this Doctor Who, now i'm curious. And as for your little joke about I Love Lucy being inducted into the TV Hall of Fame in The States, it is the ONLY TV show to get that honor, however seven inductees are installed every year since 1984 or '85 when Lucille Ball joined Mr Television Milton Berle and the two gentlemen who started CBS and NBC and Rod Serling of Twilight Zone fame and two others. Desi joined them a few years later as a pioneer producer and actor. And the show became it's one and only show honored this way in '91 with Desi Jr and Lucie accepting on their parents behalf. This Museum of Broadcasting in New York City that administers the event has screens set up for anyone visiting New York and they can go in and see clips of any show that has ever graced the Tv screen, wonder if Doctor Who is on the list?
