(More customer reviews)Alpha, the most venerable of all the budget-priced DVD companies, recycles the same old episodes of THE LUCY SHOW that have fallen into public domain limbo. Serious "Lucy" fans have probably purchased these eps over and over again, but the price is right for the casual viewers too.
Five years after the last episode of "I Love Lucy" aired, Lucille Ball was back at CBS, sans Desi Arnaz (whom she had divorced by this point) for another shot at sitcom success. THE LUCY SHOW cast Ball as Lucille Carmichael, a widow who lived with her best friend Vivian Bagley (Vivian Vance) and their respective children in a large house in upstate New York. The show was later re-tooled, with Lucy moving to California to work as a secretary for bank manager Mr. Mooney (Gale Gordon).
Episodes:
"Lucy The Bean Queen" - Lucy tries to raise money for new furniture by buying and returning cans of Bailey's Beans, that have a "double your money back" guarantee.
"Lucy Meets The Law" - After being mistaken for a shoplifter known as "The Red Flash," Lucy is arrested and jailed. Claude Akins and Iris Adrian guest star.
"Lucy Gets Caught Up In The Draft" - A misread draft notice gets Lucy signed up in the Marines, where she becomes her sergeant's biggest headache. Jim Nabors guest stars as Gomer Pyle.
