Not as good as the I Love Lucy Show with plotline content and lower audio and video quality. Slide on over to the I Love Lucy series instead!

This DVD Contains NO Lost Episodes as the Title Suggests

"Hi Folks! I am a big fan of Lucille Ball, so when I saw this listing for "Lost Episodes" of the Lucy Show (and on DVD too), I was quick to order. As a fan of Lucille Ball, I was looking forward to receiving this new release of "Lost Episodes" on DVD. Unfortunately, what I received was a DVD with 5 regular season episodes from the "Lucy Show". These are not lost by any means, in fact I own the VHS versions of them all already. If you don't already own these previously released favorites on VHS, or have not seen them on repeat after repeat on TV, then you will certainly enjoy this collection which contains the following 5 "NOT lost" episodes: Lucy Gets A Roommate (Episode 114 with Carol Burnett), Lucy & Carol in Palm Springs (#115), Lucy Meets John Wayne (#119), Lucy w/ George Burns (#111) and Lucy Meets The Berles (#137). All of these are very funny episodes, but alas I say again - not lost!"

'The Lucy Show' Shows Lucy as funny as ever!!!

"Oh, these five episodes were sooooo funny! I laughed so hard I was crying!! And Lucille Ball wasn't the only who was so funny, there were also John Wayne, Carol Burnett, George Burns, and the talented Milton Berle."Lucy Gets a Roommate": In this episode Lucy decides that she wants a roommate, someone who is 'young, intelligent, refined, and pleasant'. She does find one, Carol Bradford (Carol Burnett). But when Lucy finds out that Carol is very 'shy and quiet', she decides to have a party to help 'bring her out'. * Carol Burnett is plays her part perfectly, making me laugh so hard!! A must see!!"Lucy and Carol in Palm Springs": This episode finds Carol Burnett again as Carol Bradford. Lucy fakes sickness so she can get time of to go to Palm Springs with her roommate. But unfortunately, Lucy finds that her boss is staying at the same hotel... * Another funny episode, yet not as funny as the first. Again, Carol Burnett will make you laugh!! I especially like the part where Lucy and Carol are getting a tan."Lucy Meets John Wayne": Lucy is asked by her boss to deliver a message to John Wayne so Lucy decides to deliver it, personally. But Lucy ends up raising havoc on John Wayne's set. * John Wayne is terrific! I couldn't imagine it at first for him to play in "The Lucy Show" and I admit that he did just wonderful. I felt so sorry for him when Lucy barges into the set."Lucy with George Burns": When George Burns meets Lucy, he asks her to be his partner in a vaudeville act, which is an offer that Lucy of course does not refuse. * Also funny, the best part being when Lucy and George Burns putson the vaudeville act."Lucy Meets the Berles": Milton Berle is in need of a part-time secretary in which Lucy accepts the job. But she drives poor Milton Berle crazy when the thinks that he is going behind his wife's back while going out with another woman. * The best episode on this DVD. Milton Berle and Lucy had so many great lines and played their part to perfection."

Wholesome fun

"Being only 22 and from the UK I don't remember this show from the first time around, just from the repeats played on cable during school breaks.Lucy's humor is much tamer than anything else that was on TV 10 years ago (even the cartoons) but you can't help but roll around laughing with every episode. The first episode starts off slow and the menu is trial and error to find, but you will get hooked. I've come back for more, but the reviews of the other DVD's has put me off so I'll be waiting till June for the "I Love Lucy" DVD's. I'd say the quality of this one is v.good though for something filmed in the 60's, I strongley recommend it. Especially the one with George Burns."
