Usually Amazon ships these things about the night before, but no notice or anything yet. I hope they don't do this with TLS. They are lacking at pre-orders lately!

Brock Posted September 26, 2012 Report Share Posted September 26, 2012 The DVD has landed. I have never seen this show before and Lucy's installment is terrific. Just finished listening to the first Let's Talk To Lucy and have gone onto Carol's episode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryCarter Posted September 28, 2012 Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 My DVD set finally arrived! I loved the Let's Talk to Lucy interviews, especially Lucy misprouncing Dick's character's name as Rob "Pee-trie" and Dick pronouncing it that way for the remainder of the interview. I also love how excited they are about My Mother the Car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C L A U D E Posted September 28, 2012 Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 I also love how excited they are about My Mother the Car. Well, who wouldn't be? It was after all a true CLASSIC, like the Edsel, the Delorian etc . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Mc Posted January 7, 2013 Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 I got the "Van Dyke & Company" dvd set and it is just magnificent -- Lucy's guest appearance is one of her best from the 1970s variety shows and she does a great dance routine with Dick at the end of the show to the song "You Make It So Easy", which means a lot to those here in Australia as it was the theme to one of this country's greatest variety shows "The Don Lane Show" It's hard t believe this was made 1975-76 as it certainly was a show well ahead of it's time (Steve Martin was one of the writers) and was cancelled after 11 episodes -- there are two "Let's Talk to Lucy" interviews with Dick Van Dyke included as well -- certainly recommended to all Lucy Loungers here!
