- I Love Lucy, 2nd year
Fun and funny and I can watch them with my nine year old daughter (or my 79 year old dad) and nobody has to be embarassed about any of the content. All generations seem to enjoy. It's also interesting to see the male-female expectations and the ways of dealting with an immigrant in the 1950s. While many of the stereotypical expectatios are present, it seems that Desi and Lucille are making fun of them, not that they've bought into them.

Believe it or not, this is the Xmas 2007 gift "hint" of a couple sisters, age 19 and 21. They love it.

- The Second Time Around
This is a fantastic season of "I Love Lucy", featuring the television-history-making pregnancy arc and a number of other hilarious episodes. I also own Season 1 (I'm buying them in order!) and the two sets are very similar. The best thing is that the radio shows from "My Favorite Husband" (at least the ones that inspired episodes of "I Love Lucy") are still included.

As a matter of fact, they're a little TOO similar. In the first season set, there are some scenes included that played during the second season. When Lucille Ball got pregnant in real life during the second season, they re-ran some episodes from the first season so that she could have a maternity leave, and each rerun was introduced by a short scripted clip from the cast. (It's a shame they don't do that for reruns these days!!) These same clips are included in this package, and I feel that they could have used the space for some original material instead.

The only other complaints I have about this fantastic set are minor. For one thing, in the first season package, when you selected the "play all" option, a bit would play that consisted of colorized clips from different episodes playing while Ricky sang the "I Love Lucy" theme song. It would have been nice to have something like that play on this set, but with different clips. Alas, no dice. Also, there are no English subtitles, which I find baffling. After all, aren't most of the people who love this show bound to be old enough that their hearing is starting to go?

However, the second season is just as funny as the first. In fact, funnier. There were a few boring episodes in the first season that I've only watched once, but there are very few like that presented here. The cast really found its groove and they only got better from here. I can't wait to continue my collection with season three!
