C L A U D E Posted September 14, 2013 Report Share Posted September 14, 2013 What flaws are you referring to? Lucy's haircut is flawed yes, but . . . does that warrant a re release of her with longer hair tacked on in every scene? No, seriously, I find this would be a good thing, as I am watching the end of season six now on Comedy Gold, I find it quite a shame that the three years of The Lucy Desi Comedy Hour are NOT played right afterwards for the people who have never seen these. Of course THEY happen to show TWO ILL's in a row so they would then have their HOUR to show one each day. Sorry, just wishful thinking on my part.

Anybody know if this is happening? I havent heard of any flaws. I think the DVD releases of LDCH were almost better thn ILL, what with the information, bonuses and the AMAZING art work of the test cards and stick figure animation is really an added bonus. The cover art is gorgeous as well!, they wouldn't need to re release it, but if they did, itd only be adding onto the tip top treatment every one gave to the show and the DVDs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irene Kampen Tripp Posted September 14, 2013 Report Share Posted September 14, 2013 Yeah.. there were flaws in the initial release.. the whole set up of Tallulah being allergic to strawberries in the dinner sceen.... and some parts cut out of the Betty Grable one and some cut out of the Ann Sothern one.. and I would assume others.. I don't know of any re release.. except for the "comic book" style releases. They look like Roy Lichtenstein Pop Art to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RodMcK1 Posted September 14, 2013 Report Share Posted September 14, 2013 There are also cast commercials from these episides that are missing from the current releases. When these episodes and the half hours are released on blu-ray, I hope we will have the option to watch them with the original opening titles and commercials like the early seasons of "The Lucy Show."

Mot Morenzi Posted September 25, 2013 Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 I've heard rumors that the original network prints for each episode have been discovered and are appearing on an upcoming release. Only the Havana episode was the network version on the initial set. All the others were the Lucy-Desi Comedy Hour edits, which were all they could find at the time of release. The deleted scenes were taken from 16mm and tape backups. If it's true that the network prints for the remaining episodes have been uncovered, that'd be terrific to see. But as it is they did a great job with what they had available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there's some instances in the ones I have where it jumps or may start a little late from commercial break. I just wanna see this clear!

My original eight were taped right from the tv and were pretty darn clear, however, I do admit the other five were so so copies.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C L A U D E Posted September 26, 2013 Report Share Posted September 26, 2013 And NO, you did not tell me, i'm sorry you had to do that as my bubbela almost never stays here for than twenty minutes at a time and he needs more than that to copy them.

Mot Morenzi Posted September 27, 2013 Report Share Posted September 27, 2013 The set I got included multiple versions of the same episode. In some cases the version aired on TV with original commercials plus the network master. All copied from VHS copies but definitely watchable.

It's especially hard to watch since we are so spoiled with our Lucy DVDs! Just imagine what they could go with LWL and the special features!

Those horrible copies of ILL that aired on that lousy religious channel were the worst, whereas the Comedy Gold ones are perfect. WE DEFINITELY HAVE BEEN SPOILED WITH THESE NEW PERFECT DVD COPIES.

Neil Posted September 6, 2015 Report Share Posted September 6, 2015 What's with the weird order CBS ran the Lucy-Desi Comedy Hour? I checked our newspaper archives for the summer of 1962 (yes, I have too much time on my hands...). 12 of the 13 were run between July 1st and Sept. 16th. Excluded: Paul Douglas. This is the order they were run: July: Danny Thomas, Havana, Betty Grable/Horse Race, Maurice Chevalier/Mexico, Milton Berle, August: Alaska/Skelton, Tallulah, Fred MacMurray, Ernie Kovacs, September: Sun Valley, Summer Vacation/Ida, Japan/Cummings. By episode numbers: 7,1,4,6,11,8,2,3,13,5,10,12 I can see Danny as the opener, but why is Tallulah so far down the list? I think this is the order they were run every summer but some summers they got the whole 13 in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this is the order they were run every summer but some summers they got the whole 13 in. I think Danny was the opener because the series was the summer replacement for The Danny Thomas Show. The 1962 rerun ranked second for the week (Ben Casey was number one). I have no idea what the reasoning was for the airing order. I thought Paul Douglas' episode might have been skipped because he had died by that point, but Ernie Kovacs had also died and a lot more recently. Lucy Wants a Career got its first ever rebroadcast in 1963. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty impressive the "Danny" was #2 for the week, probably higher rating than Danny's show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
