Finally, one TV’s most beloved sitcoms from the 1960’s arrives on DVD July 21, 2009. After releasing Lucille Ball’s first series in its entirety, “I Worship Lucy”, CBS Home Video is bringing out, what I deem, one of the best television shows of all-time.
“The Lucy Indicate” was Lucille Ball’s follow-up to her immensely accepted 1950’s TV program, and at first she was hesitant to do another weekly series for a variety of reasons: first, she knew the work interested in doing a TV explain week after week, and secondly she also didn’t know if the audience would pick up her playing a widow, as she and Desi Arnaz were so closely identified as America’s first TV couple. Since she and Desi were now divorced, having them star in a television present together was virtually impossible. One of the stipulations she had with the original CBS explain was that she wanted Desi to be its executive producer, (which he was that first season), as Lucy knew Desi had the mind and ability to design a top-rated present, and she wanted her best friend, Vivian Vance, to star along with her. Lucy’s demands were met.

“The Lucy Indicate”, originally titled “The Lucille Ball Exhibit” in its inception, aired its first episode on October 1, 1962. Lucy played Lucy Carmichael, a widow raising 2 children, a daughter Chris, played by Candy Moore, and a son Jerry, played by Jimmy Garrett. Lucy shared her home with her best friend Vivian, played superbly by Vance, who had a son Sherman, portrayed by Ralph Hart. Although many TV historians place that it was Ann Romano, from “One Day at a Time”, who played TV’s first divorced woman, that distiction, however, belongs to Vivian Vance, who was the medium’s first divorcee in this series. “The Lucy Note” followed the adventures of Lucy and Vivian, as they raised their children alone, and encountered various mishaps while living without men. The series explored what it was like for two women maintaining a household all alone, and the series depicted the problems each had with their personal lives, such as finding Mr. Apt.
“The Lucy Point To” is one of my well-liked shows ever, and I actually worship it even more than “I Care For Lucy”. This long awaited boxset of the series’ first season, features 30 episodes, that have been rarely seen over the years. This first season is filmed in glowing unlit and white, but subsequent seasons were filmed in color as Lucille Ball knew they could be more easily sold in syndication than the dim and white ones. The demonstrate continued to be broadcast in murky and white until the 1965 season, but at the beginning of the 1963 season filming in B&W was discontinued. These 30 shows are some of the best work Lucille Ball ever did in her career, albeit they have hardly been seen by newer audiences. Many of the writers from “I Admire Lucy” wrote many of these 30 shows, and their originality and creativity is evident. The best episodes from this season are: “Lucy and Viv Do in a TV Antenna”, in which Lucy and Vivian go to extremes to go up on the roof to install a unusual antenna, as their signal is gone. This episode is hilarious, especially when one watches it during this day in time as many of us have cable and satellite, but the writing is insensible on, and the performances, along with Lucy and Viv’s physical comedy, are at its zenith. Another astronomical indicate is “Lucy and Viv Set In A Shower”, where the roomates install a modern shower, as they realize having one bathroom doesn’t nick it for a home housing 5 people. While doing the shower scene Lucille Ball almost drowned, and thanks to Vivian Vance, she was saved. One of my celebrated Christmas shows from any series is in this spot and is entitled “Together For Christmas”, as Lucy and Vivian argue over a tree. Each wants to have a tree decorated to each other’s taste, so to form a compromise, they each keep up a tree in the living room. They eventually have a fight and end the other’s tree, with Lucy going so far as sawing Viv’s!
“The Lucy Display” is one of those rare network TV shows that never left the top 10 during its six year rush on CBS. It actually finished its final season on the network in the early spring of 1968 at at whopping #2 in the Nielsens. The series would return that topple under a fresh title, “Here’s Lucy”, with a completey unusual format. “The Lucy Point To” finished its first season at number 5, a solid hit, as the audience welcomed Lucille Ball and her co-horts into their home week after week. Vital to tag too is that Gale Gordon wouldn’t open appearing until the following season. In the first year, a banker named My. Barnsdahl, played by character actor Charles Lane, supervised Lucy’s trust fund left to her by her husband.
The series’ theme music was created and performed by Wilbur Hatch, who did the music for “I Treasure Lucy”.

Lucille Ball would go on to secure two Emmy’s for her role in this series in subsequent seasons, and various guest stars would pop up over the years, like Joan Crawford, Milton Berle, Carol Burnett, and Ann Southern.
There have been a handful of “Lucy Reveal” episodes that have been set out on home video and DVD over the years, but these are the public domain shows that were never cleaned up, and they were the edited and syndicated broadcast shows that were terrorized and scratchy. These 30 shows in this boxset have been beautifully restored from the studio’s 35 mm prints and arrive with renewed sound, and according to studio reps, they explore wonderful. They are also uncut.
This boxset also comes with a current interview with Lucille Ball’s daughter Lucy Arnaz, and for the first time in years Jimmy Garrett is interviewed, discussing the point to and his TV mom. There are also rare commercials featuring “The Lucy Show’s” network promos.
If having “The Lucy Prove” on DVD isn’t enough for you, talk is “Here’s Lucy”, Lucy’s 3rd series, is coming to DVD this summer too with the complete first season. “Here’s Lucy” had a DVD release in 2004 featuring some of the best episodes during it’s rush, but like “The Lucy Point To”, it will be the first time that complete season boxsets will be released. I am in Heaven!
Don’t forget too that “I Like Lucy-The Complete Series”, is also available.
UPDATE!!!! LUCY’S THIRD SERIES “HERE’S LUCY” WILL BE AVAILABLE ON DVD WITH THE COMPLETE FIRST SEASON ON AUGUST 25TH, 2009!!!
I can’t remember how many years ago it was when I wrote, emailed and called CBS Home Entertainment to beg for them to release THE LUCY Explain on DVD. I will exclaim you that I will always remember how alarmed I was when I impartial received an email from CBS telling me they are releasing The Lucy Show’s First Season on July 21, 2009! I found that begging CBS does pay, when it comes to wanting the BEST classic television shows released, and THE LUCY Prove is THE BEST! The personal letter CBS wrote me stated that they have remastered The Lucy Indicate using the modern 35 mm negative for a virtually flawless reproduction on dvd!!! I am so happy- FLAWLESS! I’ve been watching those cross, blurred and musty versions on dvd for years! CBS said that if sales are generous for this spot, they will be remastering THE LUCY Exhibit SEASON 2 IN FLAWLESS COLOR!!! So, to everyone who loves THE LUCY SHOW- order now!! THE LUCY Display ran for 6 seasons, so we only need 5 more! HERE’S LUCY SEASON ONE is also in the making from MPI Home Video and that indicate ran for 6 Seasons as well. After so many years of waiting, this is unbiased like a dream approach right for LUCY fans like me!
THE LUCY Expose premiered on October 1, 1962 on CBS. The display began with Lucille Ball as Lucy Carmichael, a widow with two children, Chris (Candy Moore), and Jerry (Jimmy Garrett), living in Danfield, Connecticut, sharing her home with divorced friend Vivian Bagley (Vivian Vance) and her son, Sherman (Ralph Hart) . Lucy had been left with a tremendous trust fund by her gradual husband, which was managed during this first season by local banker Mr. Barnsdahl (Charles Lane) . At the beginning of the 1963-64 season, the character was replaced by Theodore J. Mooney (Gale Gordon, who would remain with the series for the remainder of its speed, despite the format change) . This First Season also featured in recurring roles, Harry Connors (Dick Martin), Audrey Simmons (Mary Jane Croft), Eddie Collins (Don Briggs), Thelma Green (Carole Cook) and Dorothy Boyer (Dorothy Konrad) . Lucy’s runt, adorable exact life children, Lucie Arnaz age 11 and Desi Arnaz Jr. age 9 create their first television appearances in a few of these first season’s episodes. Lucie Arnaz talks about these first appearances in the astonishing Bonus interview she does for this dvd area. I never knew that when watching the episode, LUCY AND VIV Achieve IN A SHOWER when I was a miniature girl help in the 60’s, that Lucy was actually drowning when she was down under the water, and couldn’t pull herself up. Vivian plan Lucy was under water procedure too long and reached down to pull her up- literally saving Lucy’s life. The cameras kept rolling and no one in the studio or audience knew what was really going on! It is honest so fitting that CBS took the time to fabricate this point to flawless, objective as Lucy and Vivian’s performances were for all the years they worked together!
