This season of Lucy shows the Ricardos away from home in Hollywood and Europe.
Though the episodes in Hollywood with Lucy and Ethel "souvenir hunting" John Wayne's footprints are great for laughing out loud, the favorite episode in our household is Lucy's struggle to get her passport. More than once the look on Ricky's face when he walks through the front door to the apartment and discovers a little man (the doctor from Lucy's childhood) dancing in his living room and hears a trunk (Lucy trapped inside) singin along has caused me to laugh until the tears stream down my face. Lucy just doesn't get any better.
And, by the way, did anyone ever really appreciate just what a great straight man Desi Arnaz could be?
Don't miss the almost-forgotten episode on the train trip home from Hollywood. It's a roll-in-the-floor laugher, too.
I Love Lucy - The Complete Fifth Season picks up right where the gang left off in Hollywood including the John Wayne episode and Lucy dancing with a replica of Ricky's face, so hilarious! Also in this collection are the episodes where they go to Europe. My favorite episodes from season five are: The Great Train Robbery, The Nursery School, Bon Voyage, Second Honeymoon, and Return From Europe. I highly recommend this timeless classic, you will have a ball!
I own this dvd collection and am really happy with it.
I just hope that this release prompts season set releases.
Please vote for ALL of Lucy's remaining shows to be released as season set dvds. We now have complete sets of I Love Lucy and The Lucy Desi Comedy Hour. We just need The Lucy Show, Here's Lucy, and Life with Lucy.
