What can I say, I am a big I Love Lucy fan and this DVD still makes me laugh today. I would definitely recommend it for other fans like myself who know the episodes by heart. But even if you're not a fan, it's a series that captures you instantly. You'll get to enjoy the best humor ever created on TV and it'll be a treat to watch the episodes and see how they each come to a great ending. A must!!
Granted, there are a LOT of big stars in this season of I Love Lucy. And it's as funny as ever. But I bought it for one reason. I wanted to see the episode where Superman visits their apartment. And I was pleased to see that the episode had a full commentary track featuring now grown "Little Ricky", as well as Caroline Applebee and her son from the show.
Superman was a big icon back in the 50's. And George Reeves "gives his all" in this Superman episode. Just watch his crashing thru to the living room from the kitchen. Any kid would believe he could fly and had super-powers back then. And that entrance pretty much cinched it.
Just listen to "Little Ricky's" commentary track. He even says that there were MANY stars that appeared on the program, but it was Superman that excited him the most.
Great seeing George Reeves as Superman again, and there's plenty of "Lucy" comedy on the show as well. One of my favorite episodes.
There are several reasons to enjoy the sixth and final season of I Love Lucy on DVD, but no reason is better than Bob Hope. Hope guest stars in "Lucy and Bob Hope", where Bob Hope is at his best. Also, this is the season that has the longest laugh seen recorded on TV when Lucy dances with Ricky, and well let's say lots of eggs were hatched. This is comedy, the way it should be. Excellent season!
