Movie Reviews of I Love Lucy - The Complete Second Season
Movie Review: I Love Lucy Seasons 2, 3, and 4 reviews.
Summary: 5 Stars
It would seem Amazon has something mixed up with the review sections on these 'I Love Lucy' season sets, and all the reviews from season 1-4 are all being put here, so here we go!
Season 2 is where the 'I Love Lucy' series really gets great, and features many memorable episodes such as the infamous 'Job Switching' which is an iconic episode, and is one of the best moments in sitcom history, Lucy and Ethel make a bet with Ricky and Fred that they can hold down a job longer than they can take care of the house, and we all know how great and funny this episode is, also the second episode 'The Saxophone' is also a great episode, with Lucy trying to make it into Ricky's act after finding her old saxophone in the attic, 'The Handcuffs' is another highlight here, and the end scene produces some hilarious results, 'Redecorating' is another winner, and boy did Ricky get taken for a ride, and then of course we get to the pregnancy episodes, which is a big part of television history as Little Ricky is born which spans seven episodes is is absolutely fantastic, other highlights are 'Sales Resistance' which has always been a favorite of mine, 'The Inferiority Complex' is yet another highlight here, in which Lucy feels like she's inferior, and really puts on a show, 'Lucy Changes Her Mind' is another classic episode that I have highly rated on my chart, and who can forget Mrs. Porter in 'Lucy Hires a Maid', and 'The Ricardo's Change Apartments' is great as well, and another favorite of mine is 'Lucy Wants New Furniture' the scene where Lucy goes back and forth to the kitchen after buying new furniture which Ricky knows nothing about of course, to get eating utensils from her kitchen, while still trying to hide the furniture of course, 'Ricky and Fred Are T.V. Fans' is another favorite of mine, in which Lucy and Ethel end up getting arrested, and Ricky and Fred don't even know! 'Never Do Business With Friends' is a great way to close the season off, after Lucy convinces Ricky she needs a new washing machine, the Mertze's buy their old one, and when it messes up, the fued that goes on between the 4 is absolutely hilarious!
Now CBS/Paramount has done an excellent job with these season sets, and nothing different is found here, I cannot believe how great these look, and I watched these on re-runs (I'm only 29) and they never looked anywhere near this good, and the audio is crisp and clear, as usual the flubs, radio shows amongst other things are the extras which I always look forward to with these sets, so another day, another great 'I Love Lucy' season, another great release buy CBS/Paramount, that about sums this up.
Season 3 is another excellent season of this excellent and timeless series, which aired 10/5/1953 through 5/24/1954, and there's a lot of great episodes here, such as 'The Girl's Go Into Business' which is the episode where Lucy and Ethel buy a dress shop and it the only sales they make is to themselves, 'Equal Rights' which Lucy and Ethel want to be treated as if they were men, and Ricky and Fred pull a fast one on them, 'Baby Pictures' is another personal favorite of mine, 'Lucy Tells The Truth' is another favorite of mine, Lucy cannot tell a lie for 24 hours if she wants to win a bet with the Ricky, Fred and Ethel, and it ends up getting her in trouble, and I always like episodes that deal with painting or redecorating, so another favorite is 'Redecorating The Mertze's Apartment' which is classic comedy at it's best, you never put a fan where there's feathers! You know, I'm just going to keep going on and on, because personally, they are all favorites for me, there's many other classic episodes on this season such as 'The Million Dollar Idea' in which Lucy and Ethel go into business making 'Aunt Martha's Old Fashioned Salad Dressing' but when they realize how much work it takes, they think maybe this was a bad idea, 'The Charm School' is another stand out episode, Lucy wants to impress Ricky, so she decided to go to a charm school, and the results are hilarious! 'Home Movies' is always a classic, Lucy really messes up Ricky's movie that he wants to show to a big movie producer, 'Lucy Writes a Novel' 'Bonus Bucks' 'The Black Wig' 'Tennessee Ernie Visits' 'Tennessee Ernie Hangs On' and of course the classic 'The Golf Game' which every fan knows, great episodes, and as always, CBS/Paramount has done an excellent job with these 'I Love Lucy' seasons as the picture and audio are absolutely stunning, I can't believe how clear the picture is, and of course all the extras, and the packaging is great, this is absolutely the only way to have and watch this series, if you thought these episodes looked good in the re-runs in the 1990's, which they did, but you have seen nothing yet, once you watch them with these season sets, you'll never want to stop.
Now onto season 4, which I just got today from Amazon, in this season, Lucy and The Gang go to L.A. and the whole season is all classic 'I Love Lucy' season 4 which aired 10/4/1954 through 5/30/1955, which finds many classic episodes such as the season premiere 'The Business Manager' which features Charles Lane who later appeared on the classic 'The Lucy Show' for it's first season as...the bank manager, ironic? Lucy thinks she's got it easy once Ricky hires a business manager to run things better, but Lucy does not have it so easy! in 'Ricky's Movie Offer' this is where the trip to L.A. begins, and it is absolutely a classic saga as it runs through the rest of the entire season, it's just brilliant how they wrote this and of course many classic Lucille Ball moments such as 'Lucy Learns to Drive' 'Getting Ready' 'Ricky's Contract' 'California Here We Come!' 'First Stop' 'Tennessee Bound' which the Ricardo's meet up with old friend 'Tennessee Ernie'! 'L.A. At Last' which is the one where Lucy lights her fake nose on fire, classic comedy! 'The Fashion Show' 'Hollywood Anniversary' 'In Palm Springs' 'Harpo Marx' which is the classic where Lucy tries to fool a friend by dressing up as a bunch of movie stars, but when the real Harpo shows up, things get really good! 'Ricky Needs an Agent' but not Lucy! Lucy decided to try to get Ricky more publicity, but when her antics get him removed from his contract, Ricky loses it! and of course the classic season finale 'The Tour' which is where Lucy and Ethel take a bus trip around L.A. and Lucy wants a grapefruit from Richard Widmark's tree, but gets caught, classic episode and what a way to end the season, as always CBS/Paramount delivers again, with the crisp clean audio and video, to the tons of extra's to the great packaging, this is worth my money, now all I need is seasons 5 and 6 and my collection will be completed, I also have the first 3 seasons of 'The Lucy Show' and the first 3 seasons of 'Here's Lucy' and from what I hear, 'Here's Lucy Season 4' will be released on March 29th this year, YAY, and also 'The Lucy Show Season 4' is scheduled for release in late April this year, YAY!
Anyways, this is great classic comedy from TV's golden age, it's great collecting these seasons on DVD, they are well worth my money, and yours too!
