A classic that is always fun to watch Lucille Ball, Desi Arnaz and others shine in this and make you laugh. A must for I love Lucy fans!

Beautifully restored uncut DVD set with great extras

"OK, we all know HERE'S LUCY isn't her best work, but this set is well worth the price for fans. There are lots of guest stars, the shows look amazing and are completely uncut, and there is a wealth of extra features included.



Don't bother getting angry with Lucie and Desi Jr about the earlier series THE LUCY SHOW not being well represented on DVD either, as they don't own the right to that series.



I really prefer the complete season format on DVD releases but in this case, I am not complaining. I do wish we'd had a few more of the shows that didn't feature guest stars but rather concentrated on the regular cast but I guess they felt the stars would help sales. Hopefully this set will do well and they may do another volume of 24 more shows soon.

"This DVD set of "Here's Lucy" is fantastic. DVD quality is superb!! Time was definetly put into making sure this set was done right. There are 24 episodes and the jacket says there are 14 commentaries by Lucie Arnaz, Desi Arnaz Jr., Carol Burnett and Wayne Newton. Most commentaries are done by Lucie and Desi Jr. . You can watch these particular episodes normally or with the commentaries. There are 11 episodes with commentaries. Not sure where the other 3 are. I haven't watched all the episodes and special features yet. I have listed the guest appearances, hopefully this will help others. Six episodes per disc and special features:

3RD SERIES SHINES BEAUTIFULY IN DIGITAL

"I've only been through Disc 1 and that disc alone is a treasure trove.



Naturally, the most famous HERE'S LUCY episode is included, where Lucy encounters Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor and ends up getting Elizabeth's huge diamond ring stuck on her finger. Other episodes include guest appearances by Jack Benny, Carol Burnett, Sammy Davis Jr., Shelley Winters, Helen Hayes, among others. One hilarious episode with just the regular cast, including Gale Gordon, Lucie Arnaz and Desi Arnaz, Jr., has Lucy destroying Harry's house looking for some loose wires.



DVD remastering is superb with great commentary by Lucie, Desi Jr and Carol Burnett on selected episodes. Picture clarity is the best I've seen and "stereo" sound for a TV series of that era. Also includes Blooper reels of outtakes, mistakes, rehearsals of actual shows with some "surprise" visitors to the set, and spots from Lucy guest appearances on other specials with guest stars that appeared on her show.



My disappointment was Best Buy and Target "not" having it on day of release and Barnes & Noble having "one" that I grabbed, even at full price. This is shocking for anything "Lucy" for fans that want to go to the store. Are some retailers forgetting who she was?



If you get it, ENJOY!



To one of the reviewers above....YES....both LUCY THE FIXIT and LUCY AND LAWRENCE WELK, with VIVIAN VANCE are included in this set! I'm sorry that the CHUCK CONNORS episode, as well as MY FAIR BUZZI didn't make the cut."
