I LOVE LUCY debuted on CBS in 1951 and quickly set a new standard for situation comedy with its well-crafted plotlines, live tapings, multiple camera angles, and one of the finest ensemble casts in television history. Centered around the domestic life of zany redhead Lucy Ricardo (Lucille Ball) and her Cuban-born husband Ricky (Lucy's real-life spouse Desi Arnaz), the series also broke cultural ground by featuring an interracial marriage and a female lead that was less than the perfect housewife. Indeed, it was Lucy's neverending quest to muscle in on her husband's show business career--often with the help of meddlesome next-door neighbors Fred (William Frawley) and Ethel Mertz (Vivian Vance)--that provided the show its main comedic thrust and continues to lend it a timelessly classic appeal. This collection presents the lost pilot plus all 35 original episodes from the groundbreaking first season, including Lucy Does a TV Commercial, The Freezer, The Ballet, The Fur Coat, and many more.

"This is a birthday present for someone (my best friend) who is turning 65! All she talks about is how much she enjoys watching "Lucy", so I can say without a doubt that this is 100% the perfect gift! I have gotten her other "Lucy DVDs", and she always brings up "Lucy" at all othe gatherings - holidays, family and friends get togethers, even church!!!
Thank you Overstock for having things like this at such affordable prices."

"I Love Lucy is one of those classic TV shows that will last forever. Having the complete I Love Lucy Seasons 1 thru 9 now is just wonderful. It does not take a Lucy fanatic like myself to enjoy it, let your children watch it they will love it as much as mine do."
