<center> <h2>I Love Lucy (DVD) Review </h2><br> By Britt Gillette </center> <br> <p align="center"><blockquote>    Widely considered one of the greatest, if not the greatest, show in television history, I Love Lucy signaled the ascendance of the prime time TV era. The brainchild of Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz, I Love Lucy revolutionized the television industry with its extensive use of a live audience and the employment of multiple camera angles. The result of true comic genius, the show's ability to entertain is just as relevant today as it was fifty years ago… <br><br> Real-life couple Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz play the prominent roles of Lucy and Ricky Ricardo, a married couple living in a New York apartment complex. Ricky is a Cuban-born band leader who wows night clubs with his act, while Lucy is a homemaker. Lucy and Ricky's best friends are landlords Fred and Ethel Mertz who often become intertwined in Lucy's get-rich-quick schemes, screwball ideas, and comic shenanigans. Former masters of the stage, the cast comes across as a likeable bunch, with Lucille Ball stealing the show with her goofy antics and brilliant facial contortions. If ever there were a television classic, then I Love Lucy is it… <br><br> The I Love Lucy DVD offers a number of hilarious episodes including the series premiere "The Girls Want To Go To The Nightclub" in which Ethel seeks to celebrate her 18th Anniversary with a trip to the Copacabana, while Fred wants to go to the fights. When it's agreed that the girls will go to the club while the boys go to the fight, Fred and Ricky decide to spy on the girls so they call up a friend to get some dates for the club. But Lucy and Ethel have already talked to the same friend, and they decide to pose as Fred and Ricky's dates… Other notable episodes from Season 1 include "The Quiz Show" in which Lucy seeks to make some extra money by pulling off a fake stunt, and "Drafted" in which Lucy and Ethel mistakenly believe that Ricky and Fred have been drafted into the Army… <br> Below is a list of episodes included on the I Love Lucy (Season 1) DVD: <br> Episode 1 (The Girls Want to Go to the Nightclub): Air Date: 10-15-1951 <br> Episode 2 (Be a Pal): Air Date: 10-22-1951 <br> Episode 3 (The Diet): Air Date: 10-29-1951 <br> Episode 4 (Lucy Thinks Ricky is Trying to Murder Her): Air Date: 11-05-1951 <br> Episode 5 (The Quiz Show): Air Date: 11-12-1951 <br> Episode 6 (The Audition): Air Date: 11-19-1951 <br> Episode 7 (The Seance): Air Date: 11-26-1951 <br> Episode 8 (Men are Messy): Air Date: 12-03-1951 <br> Episode 9 (Drafted): Air Date: 12-10-1951 <br> Episode 10 (The Fur Coat): Air Date: 12-17-1951 <br> Episode 11 (Lucy is Jealous of Girl Singer): Air Date: 12-24-1951 <br> Episode 12 (The Adagio): Air Date: 12-31-1951 <br> Episode 13 (The Benefit): Air Date: 01-07-1952 <br> Episode 14 (The Amateur Hour): Air Date: 01-14-1952 <br> Episode 15 (Lucy Plays Cupid): Air Date: 01-21-1952 <br> Episode 16 (Lucy Fakes Illness): Air Date: 01-28-1952 <br> Episode 17 (Lucy Writes a Play): Air Date: 02-04-1952 <br> Episode 18 (Breaking the Lease): Air Date: 02-11-1952 <br> Episode 19 (The Ballet): Air Date: 02-18-1952 <br> Episode 20 (The Young Fans): Air Date: 02-25-1952 <br> Episode 21 (New Neighbors): Air Date: 03-03-1952 <br> Episode 22 (Fred and Ethel Fight): Air Date: 03-10-1952 <br> Episode 23 (The Moustache): Air Date: 03-17-1952 <br> Episode 24 (The Gossip): Air Date: 03-24-1952 <br> Episode 25 (Pioneer Woman): Air Date: 03-31-1952 <br> Episode 26 (The Marriage License): Air Date: 04-07-1952 <br> Episode 27 (The Kleptomaniac): Air Date: 04-14-1952 <br> Episode 28 (Cuban Pals): Air Date: 04-21-1952 <br> Episode 29 (The Freezer): Air Date: 04-28-1952 <br> Episode 30 (Lucy Does a TV Commercial): Air Date: 05-05-1952 <br> Episode 31 (The Publicity Agent): Air Date: 05-12-1952 <br> Episode 32 (Lucy Gets Ricky on the Radio): Air Date: 05-19-1952 <br> Episode 33 (Lucy's Schedule): Air Date: 05-26-1952 <br> Episode 34 (Ricky Thinks He is Going Bald): Air Date: 06-02-1952 <br> Episode 35 (Ricky Asks for a Raise): Air Date: 06-09-1952 <br> <br> About The Author: Britt Gillette is author of The DVD Report (http://thedvdreport.blogspot.com), a blog where you can find more reviews like this one. <br> <a href=" http://publishers.clickbooth.com/sw/4686/CD1813/">Available at Netflix</a> <br><a href=" http://publishers.clickbooth.com/sw/7076/CD1813/">Available at Blockbuster</a><br> Source:<a href="http://www.top5tv.com">www.top5tv.com</a> <br>You may put this article on your website as long as you leave the resources intact. </p> </center> </blockquote>
