C L A U D E Posted May 5, 2011 Report Share Posted May 5, 2011 And well they should, the best tv comedy series of all time, now i hope this does not delay the color version in any way, LOL! And i like the idea of an easy access BEST OF compilation as that damned BOXED SET is so hard to get into. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PuttyNose Posted May 6, 2011 Report Share Posted May 6, 2011 "Best Of" according to whom, is what I'd like to know! They'll put all the old "standards" on there, and leave out some true gems. People who REALLY know, love, and appreciate "I Love Lucy" will have the good sense to get the complete series "used" from Amazon for far less money than they'll charge for this THIN.

Lucy's Aussie Fan Posted May 6, 2011 Report Share Posted May 6, 2011 Was actually waiting for this day. Its about time! I of course, wouldn't get it as ive got all the seasons. The only motive for me to get this would be if they added new special features. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucy's Aussie Fan Posted May 6, 2011 Report Share Posted May 6, 2011 I suspect the episodes chosen will be the ones that made it into the "top 10 episodes of all time" on the ILL 50th Anniversary special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly! My "bests" and your "bests" are probably totally different, with the usual "gotta have 'em" eps (Job Switching, LDAC, etc.) in there for good measure. Whatever! It's all about makin' a buck, not what the fans truly want! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there are different levels of F A N and some only want her all time BEST material and to most people that is the ones that have received the most acclaim over the decades, they don't need to see Drafted or other sub par eps.

chedderchester Posted May 6, 2011 Report Share Posted May 6, 2011 I can only guess which episodes they are "Lucy Does a TV Commercial" "Harpo Marx" "Lucy is Enciente" "Lucy Does the Tango" "Job Switching" "Lucy's Italian Movie" "The Ballet" "L.A. At last" "Ethel's Hometown" "The Freezer" I had a "Best of" VHS set several years ago and it contained those episodes. With butchered versions of "Italian Movie" and "Job Switching."

I wish I could see the colorized version of "L.A. at last." And the Christmas show is fake because the walls are blue not red! And the couch isn't green, it's blue! I ended up watching it in black and white last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MONALISAISMONALUCY Posted May 7, 2011 Report Share Posted May 7, 2011 It makes more sense to make these episodes to be colorized for this collection. I would buy it for that reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LucyImHome Posted May 7, 2011 Report Share Posted May 7, 2011 Oh good lord!! They're really milking this cow dry!!! Yeah, I agree! I was so annoyed when the "box set" came out, because the series was already complete, and I wanted them to move on to The Lucy Show. But eventually they did! Now I don't care what else they do with I Love Lucy, as long as her other shows get finished soon!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brock Posted May 7, 2011 Report Share Posted May 7, 2011 I don't know about the rest of you but I find the picture on the DVDs from the complete heart-shaped boxed set a lot clearer than the single season releases. Does anybody else agree, or is it just my mind helping to rationalize the purchase? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UKlucyfan Posted May 7, 2011 Report Share Posted May 7, 2011 They maybe milking it but its working on me I'd love to get that box set. Im hoping if they ever get round to releasing them all here they'll do the box set here too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
