This second volume in a projected, definitive collection of the beloved I Love Lucy series includes broadcast episodes 4 through 7, which prove beyond doubt that the classic sitcom had hit the ground running by November 1951. "Lucy Thinks Ricky Is Trying to Murder Her" is the famous comedy of errors in which Lucy Ricardo (Lucille Ball) misunderstands something her husband, Cuban bandleader Ricky (Desi Arnaz), says, and assumes he's out to get rid of her. In "The Quiz Show," restless housewife Lucy turns to a television contest for fun and the opportunity to win $1,000. "The Audition," one of the series' most beloved stories, finds Ball exercising her considerable skills as a physical comic by pretending to be a professional clown named Buffo. Finally, "The Seance" is one of the best of Lucy's misadventures with best friend, Ethel (Vivian Vance), this time participating in a riotous ritual to wake the dead. Marvelous stuff. Bonus features include a delightful "Behind the Scenes" photo gallery, a radio broadcast that helped shape a later television episode, guest cast information, and the series' original opening. --Tom Keogh

Anyone can appreciate Lucy's screwball comedy and Ricky's hilarious accent. The Mertzes are the perfect sidekicks for them. As a fairly young viewer who never watched a show in black and white, I was pleasantly surprised by how modern Lucy's comedy is. I now own everyone of the Lucy season one episode

"Lucy Thinks Ricky Is Trying To Murder Her" is the first "I Love Lucy" episode filmed on September 8, 1951. It is also the first with the Mertzes played by Vivian Vance and William Frawley. However it did not air first. It was broadcast as the forth episode on November 5, 1951. (The pilot episode shown in "I Love Lucy" Volume One, Season One, is actually the very first Mr & Mrs. Richardo episode but was never aired. It was lost until found. It was shown for the first time on CBS on April ... Read More

This DVD is a MUST have for any LUCY fan. The 4 episodes it contains are hilarious. In the first episode: "Lucy Thinks Ricky Is Trying To Murder Her," a misunderstood phone conversation, makes Lucy think that Ricky wants to kill her. In the second episode: "The Quiz Show," to win $1,000 on a quiz show, Lucy pretends to have been married to someone else before Ricky. In the third episode: "The Audition," Lucy trys to get into Ricky's show (as usual,) by going on in place of Buffo the Clown. and in ... Read More

Keep in mind that these are definitive transfers of the 'I Love Lucy' episodes from Paramount (Lucille Ball sold Desilu to Paramount in 1967). The picture is rock steady, unlike most television shows transferred to home video and the quality rivals the CBS network broadcast from the 1950's and the weekday morning CBS broadcast in the 1960's as well. If you love the 'I Love Lucy' series, now's the time to buy. Don't miss out!
