Which shows were colorized? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

J5 · 12-08-2003, 01:58 AM

I really want to now what shows were colorized. I know the Christmas episode was. If other episodes, or at least some parts of it, were colorized, I would like to aquaire them. Does anybody know when and how long these shows were out, if they are. Thanks for any information.

I think I read somewhere that the Hollywood At Last episode was colorized. I don't think it's for sale though. I think they showed it in Jamestown during Lucy-Desi days or something. Also, the Babalu video has some colorization at the end.

Just for the record, I AM NOT A BIG FAN OF COLORIZING!

I have read on a few DVD Easter Eggs sites that there's a hidden colorized episode on disc 1 of the I Love Lucy DVD Collector's Edition. The websites all claim that disc 1 is the one with "Cuban Pals", "The Freezer", "Lucy Does a TV Commercial" and "The Publicity Agent" on it. However, those episodes are on disc 8 of my set which are the Paramount DVDs.

You're supposed to highlight "Play All" and press the "1" key on your DVD player to play the colorized episode, but that didn't work for me. I have yet to find a hidden colorized episode on disc 1, disc 8 or any other I Love Lucy Season 1 Paramount DVD.

They may have been refering to the Columbia House DVDs.

Or some money hungry exec is spreading the rumor so these people can keep milking the show for more millions. LOL!

I think that's an urban legend. Didn't Tom Watson talk about that rumor in one of his newsletters. I might go try it though just to make sure.

Like we were not aware of that; it's SO hard to tell

I know.

That's why I felt the need to clarify.

SPLAIN · 01-09-2004, 03:26 PM

So, does that mean you WANT me to send you the Christmas show in color, or not? I know lots of my Michigan friends loved seing it in color!

Lodee · 01-09-2004, 05:23 PM

Hey maybe my French Canadian friends can get together with your Michigan friends and watch it!

Or do I detect a hint of sarcasm? I bet you don't even HAVE any Michigan friends!

I do too, Jen of the famous trio of Sherry Jen and Mel is from Michigan, but i haven't heard from her in ages and really miss her! Jen could liven up any discussion of Lucy and gary, among many others.

The Jen on John's board is an Aussie; not the one I was thinking about. But we never know; there are so many double personalities around

Lodee · 01-12-2004, 10:18 PM
