JoeySanJoaquin Posted February 8, 2015 Report Share Posted February 8, 2015 Ya know...I'm all for "pushing the product...." but with this release, me thinks it's getting a little ridiculous!! Which isn't to say I won't buy it since I'm a "completist" but still...who amongst us really needs this,especially if they "pick up the pace" of the Blu Ray releases! Oy! Enough double (or should I say triple, quadruple, etc. etc. you get the idea!) dipping already! Jeesh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brock Posted February 8, 2015 Report Share Posted February 8, 2015 Would it have killed them to spell out "You" and put in the comma? I'm sitting this one out in protest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mmadluv7 Posted February 8, 2015 Report Share Posted February 8, 2015 There's no publicity shot with Lucy and Desi and maybe one of the little Ricky's to have for the cover, rather than grainy zoomed shot of Lucy in court? The coloring is nice but 2001, we can do better. They need to spell out the letter "You" and for this to be for mothers, why aren't the colors a little more soft? Maybe a a different color scheme. They also need to make the heart pink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil Posted February 8, 2015 Report Share Posted February 8, 2015 Would be a good idea to release a" Lucy as Mother....Hen" release that includes episodes of all 3 series, though I know it's impossible because CBS does ILL and TLS and Shout does HL. Suggested episodes: Lucy is Enciente Lucy Goes to Hospital No Children Allowed Ricky Minds the baby Baby Pictures Homesick in Italy Nursery School/Tonsils TLS Waits Up for Chris Chris's NY Eve Party Chris Elopes Jerry Goes to Military Academy (this is the 2nd season episode, before he changed his name to Jimmy) HL Lucy's Working Daughter Craig's Drivers License Kim Moves Out Wandering Mother Tonight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm on the fence since I have all the single volumes and there's apparently no new added "bonuses"!) along with the invaluable assistance and bonus features produced by our friends at "GAB"...(Thanks again, George and Garret! )...a little surprised you got that wrong!

LittleRickyII Posted February 8, 2015 Report Share Posted February 8, 2015 Would it have killed them to spell out "You" and put in the comma? I'm sitting this one out in protest. I'm with you on that. A comma can make a big difference. In this case, the lack of a comma completely turns around the meaning of the sentence, changing it into a command/demand to rock Mom.

tjw Posted February 8, 2015 Report Share Posted February 8, 2015 The "U Rock Mom" is meant to be modern "internet speak" (as in LMAO, etc.) There are four episodes in the set: "Lucy is Enceinte," "Lucy Goes to the Hospital," "No Children Allowed" and "Nursery School." I think the set is designed primarily for people who do not necessarily have all the earlier "complete season" or "complete series" releases... It's a great "gift idea" ... tjw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Posted February 8, 2015 Report Share Posted February 8, 2015 If you're going to pick 4 episodes representative of Lucy Ricardo as a mother, these would be the 4. All great ones. If one were to CARP, the insert shot of Lucy nodding 'yes' to Ricky is a great one of her, but the people in the background are looking away and rather bored (CUE HAZEL!! I think one of them is her).. This is one of those things that jumps out after multiple viewings and would slide right by anyone watching it for the first (or first dozen) times, they'd be so caught up in the moment, so I can let that one go. BUT in "Nursery School".......The cue to faint after seeing or hearing something 'shocking' is pretty hard to pull off for any actor (because just how often has this happened in real life. Going "DAAAAHHH", yes; fainting, no) but of all the faint-faking in sitcom history, the old doctor's is probably the most worst on record. He's actually pretty good except for that and .....one too many "This is most unusual"'s. It mars this episode because everything else is plausible in real life (well, Lucy Ricardo's version of real life, anyway). The show has some great lines including Lucy's response to Ricky claim that Little Ricky is half his child. "When I hid my half, your half went right along with it". "No Children" is really one of the best of all ILL episodes, not usually in anyone's "best" list. It clips along with perfection and not a wasted line or scene. All four are in top form and all have their own moments to shine. Expertly directed, especially the card party scene where Ethel tells the story one time too many. Also one of the few times that a major event of the story has taken place and we don't know it. (Referring to Ethel having driven Lucy gradually nuts. I always thought a montage with Lucy getting more and more intolerant would have been nice.) Lucy seething as Ethel tells Fred and Ricky is explained once the Mertzes leave. What a wonderful way of introducing Mrs. Trumball. One can certainly excuse vivian Vance for mispronouncing it as Turnball since this is her first appearance. I hope Elizabeth Patterson got a check every time Lucy's scheme commences and this line was said "I'll get Mrs. Trumball to look after the baby" even if she was not in the episode Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brock Posted February 8, 2015 Report Share Posted February 8, 2015 The "U Rock Mom" is meant to be modern "internet speak" (as in LMAO, etc.) To quote Lucy Ricardo after Paul Douglas explained throwing live lobsters into pots of boiling water was the way everybody cooks them, "DOES THAT MAKE IT RIGHT?!"

Mot Morenzi Posted February 9, 2015 Report Share Posted February 9, 2015 Any particular reason the cover photo is from "The Courtroom"? At first glance I thought this was a season 2 Blu Ray cover. But I suppose Lucy with her mouthful of candy will forever represent season 2 in marketing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you know I Love Lucy is CBS' cash cow and they are always looking to milk it for all they can . . . you might not like this next part but i wish they would also release the Hollywood trip and then the European one as separate releases for people who never intend to buy the whole series, remember, they did that on VHS one time, they could also do it on Blu Ray.
