HarryCarter Posted May 18, 2015 Report Share Posted May 18, 2015 So was the special, never-before-seen material just a lie? It was promoted as material not included in the episode since it's original airing. That was the dialogue about all the movie stars Lucy thinks she's seen in the past half hour and Bobby having been in Julius Caesar. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freddie2 Posted May 18, 2015 Report Share Posted May 18, 2015 Absolutely great. I found myself laughing at the episodes, something that I haven't done in a long while. The colorization doesn't take me out of the episode one bit, and I'm sure it's even less so with people who aren't hardcore fans. The missing dialogue made me jump out of my seat. I'm extending huge thanks and admiration to Tom and the whole team. You guys did it again! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvsbway Posted May 18, 2015 Report Share Posted May 18, 2015 Those Superman colors really popped. Also loved Fred's shirt. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brock Posted May 18, 2015 Report Share Posted May 18, 2015 Those Superman colors really popped. Also loved Fred's shirt. Until this episode was colourized, I hadn't realised Fred's outfit included a cravat in addition to his flowered nightshirt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brock Posted May 18, 2015 Report Share Posted May 18, 2015 I always marvel at the precision of Lucy and Bill H. going head to head at The Derby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvsbway Posted May 18, 2015 Report Share Posted May 18, 2015 I would have loved to see the rehearsals for that. To see how she worked it out to get that close. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freddie2 Posted May 18, 2015 Report Share Posted May 18, 2015 I always thought that the celeb pictures at the Brown Derby were painted tiles of frosted glass that acted as windows. The colorization added that extra depth that snapped my mind into seeing they were just pictures on the wall. I've been watching this one since before I was two years old, so I guess my mind had to be shown the truth to really see it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucille Ball fan Posted May 18, 2015 Report Share Posted May 18, 2015 This was a super special with super color. I really enjoyed watching this special. Just amazing that a 1950's black and white show can be colorized. The two shows look like they are brand new. Amazing what the color can do. The color makes the shows come alive. Thanks to all involved with making this special possible. Your work is the best. Now if we can get the two new color shows on dvd or blu ray soon I hope. I want to see the missing parts that had to be removed for more commercial time in color. I hope a dvd or blu ray release is in the near future. Once again thanks to all involved with the special. Just amazing. Thank you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleRickyII Posted May 18, 2015 Report Share Posted May 18, 2015 The colourization is getting so much better. I agree! I'm very pleased with the way this turned out. That Hollywood suite looked fantastic! And Fred's shirt! This was a super special with super color. I really enjoyed watching this special.

Mmadluv7 Posted May 18, 2015 Report Share Posted May 18, 2015 Seeing it in color is like seeing it all over again, only there's so many details it's almost too much to take in. A wonderful job done all around, it's exciting to see where this is all going! btw I cheered at the end when it showed our guys names at the end! What treasure!!

Neil Posted May 18, 2015 Report Share Posted May 18, 2015 I always marvel at the precision of Lucy and Bill H. going head to head at The Derby. So do I. No anticipation or hesitation. How can anyone time it that precisely and deftly to stop, going full speed, at exactly the right spot?? ONLY our gal. I know they had to cut something and I don't mind missing Fred's Derby Salad joke, but the haggling about who was born closer to Saturday is classic Lucy logic. Carolyn: Thursday is just as close to Saturday as Monday. Lucy: Monday is just part of the weekend, but Thursday....it's Thursday....Friday...Saturday...." or something like that.

MONALISAISMONALUCY Posted May 18, 2015 Report Share Posted May 18, 2015 I thought I had never heard that dialogue before. I was questioning it since I haven't watched this in a while. I was thinking the same thing but how could I forget anything Bobby did? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MONALISAISMONALUCY Posted May 18, 2015 Report Share Posted May 18, 2015 I wonder if the red shorts Lucy was wearing as Superman was part of Ethel's hostess pants or made out of the same material? Are these episodes going to be sold in the stores? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brock Posted May 18, 2015 Report Share Posted May 18, 2015 Okay, confession time: After seeing L.A. at Last tonight, I may be on the verge of falling into the colourization camp. And I hate myself. lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brock Posted May 18, 2015 Report Share Posted May 18, 2015 For people like all of us who have gone from just sitting back and enjoying an episode to scrutinizing every minute detail of each scene, the colour really helps pick out things that would otherwise go unnoticed. For instance, when the trio walk into The Derby, I hadn't noticed that Eve Arden isn't already sitting in her booth and only appears to be settling in after Gus walks off with the menus after taking their orders.

JoeySanJoaquin Posted May 18, 2015 Report Share Posted May 18, 2015 Kind of a shame so much had to be cut, considering. CBS couldn't have made an "exception" and either aired this without or at a minimum with very limited commercial interruptions? Plus they only had to run the end credits once, that must have shave a few seconds off the airtime, not to mention the LA at Last opening where you see them drive into the parking lot of the hotel. I guess what with current half-hours having nearly 10 minutes of non-show "filler" (ads, promos, etc.), it would have been too much to ask for the network to air this without all the "trims" for time. Pity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeySanJoaquin Posted May 18, 2015 Report Share Posted May 18, 2015 Those Superman colors really popped. Also loved Fred's shirt. Loved how you could make out (when Ricky made a call to the studio) the 1954 LA phone book on the shelf of the desk! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mot Morenzi Posted May 18, 2015 Report Share Posted May 18, 2015 Folks, here's just a little proof that I'm not the only "purist" out there. Joe and I may be practically alone on this lounge, but we're not on the whole. http://kenlevine.blogspot.com.au/2013/12/i-hate-lucy-in-color.html 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nertz2mertz Posted May 18, 2015 Report Share Posted May 18, 2015 I loved the colors that were used for the Hollywood set. I'm glad the "Julius Cesar" line was included even though I didn't expect it. I was so hoping that clip of Lucy trying out disguises was found but........oh well. The thing that through me off was the red dress Lucy wore in the Superman episode. I really thought it was going to be gray. But only a minor thing. Plus, isn't the blue dress Ethel wore the same purple one in the Xmas episode?
