The I Love Lucy Hour Shows is a series of hour-long specials that aired from 1957-1960 that continued the I Love Lucy saga. Housewife Lucy Ricardo (Lucille Ball) lives in Westport Connecticut, with her bandleader husband, Ricky ( real-life husband Desi Arnaz,) and their son, Ricky Jr. (Keith Theibodeaux.) Always nearby are the couple's best friends Fred and Ethel Mertz (William Frawley and Vivian Vance.) Ricky's job as an entertainer requires him to travel a lot. As a result, he often takes Lucy, little Ricky, and the Mertzes with him to such far-off places as Japan and Mexico. Ricky's career also allows him to meet many famous celebrities, from Betty Grable to Ida Lupino. Of course, when Lucy meets up with these celebrities, chaos naturally ensues.

Summary: Lucy's Antics Live On
Comment: Anyone who is an "I Love Lucy" fan will love this collection of their later hour-long classic episodes, shown as "The Lucy-Desi Comedy Hour." The one I particularly wanted to see again was "Lucy Goes to Alaska" with Red Skelton. The hotel room scene was just as hilarious as when I saw it on television many years ago. I equate it with the Harpo Marx pantomine with Lucy on the "I Love Lucy" episode. What a talent!

Summary: Lucy & Desi Comedy Hour ''rocks''
Comment: As a young person i use to watch the repeat broadcasts of "The Lucy & Desi Comedy Hour. I loved everyone of them and laughed out loud each time
i viewed them on tv! My favorites are: winning the race horse "Whirling Jet" in a cereal contest, plus the horse has a crush on Lucy! But what a
"fast" race horse he is! 2. Tallulah Bankhead is lucy's new neighbor!
I laugh til my sides hurt. The dvd print is excellent. just love having
all the episodes on a handy dvd. I was diaappointed on the bonus items
on the dvd's that's my only negative. If you are a die hard Lucy & Desi,Ethel, and Fred Mertz fan this is a must have dvd to own.

Summary: Great Memories
Comment: First off I rate this set a solid ten in picture and sound quality. Yes, It's that good. I watched a summer rerun of this series in the summer of 1965 on CBS on Wednesday nights at ten. My favorite of these hour long shows is the Alaska trip. I had most of these comedy hours on VHS but DVD is 100 times better. My only complaint is it took 11 days to arrive from the time it left Amazon's facility. I don't know why, as most order take 3-4 days.

Summary: 3 Stars - Only Out of Respect for Lucy & Desi
Comment: I would love to give this 5 Stars but it's sadly lacking the greatness of all the other seasons. It's really heart breaking, since usually, things get better with time, regarding TV shows.
It seems to me that for the most part, Lucy and Desi were just going through the motions. It seemed really forced and I must agree with other reviews, the hour long format seemed far too long. 30-45 minutes tops would have been about right. They stretched it out with nonsense skits and far fetched plots. It was an insult to their talent, wasn't it?
Bill Frawley and Vivian Vance were wonderful, as always, but the marital strain showed between Lucy and Desi. Lucy looked as if she aged ten years after her new hair-do and the clothes she wore were grandma-like. I even noticed the changes the house went through, like the weird floral curtains?? and the missing china cabinet and what about the view into the living room from the kitchen - where did the hallway come from suddenly?? The glass windows are missing and the back-drops move when the actors walk past them! These are big things.... maybe they thought nobody would notice?? I guess they didn't count on DVD sales let alone multiple re-runs!
No, these shows were thrown together, shoving TV and film stars in to compensate for the lack of quality. Such a shame. I'm the biggest I Love Lucy fan there is, but I'm also realistic. What I'd love is the complete set of The Lucy Show with Vivian Vance - the black and white series. Now those were good!
