The Second Time Around 2007-12-06
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!
I Love Lucy - The Complete Second Season 2007-08-24
I purchased the "I Love Lucy-The Complete Second Season" as a gift for myself.
The second season includes some of the funniest episodes, such as the unforgettable "Job Switching" episode in which Lucy & Ethel get a job in a chocolate factory, and "Never Do Business With Friends", where the Ricardo's and the Mertzes squabble over a broken washing machine. I love season two because these episodes cover the birth of Little Ricky, from "Lucy is Enciente", the wonderful touching episode in which Lucy tells Ricky that she is "expecting"., to "Lucy Goes To The Hospital, the hilarious episode that concludes with the birth of Little Ricky. The DVD's also contain great behind-the-scenes clips, original openings, flubs, lost scenes,etc. Five full episodes of Lucy's pre-Lucy radio show, "My Favorite Husband" are included as well. This is a must for fans of "I
Love Lucy". I highly recommend it.
Lucy Season 2 2007-07-03
I LOVE LUCY is classic comedy and Season Two is just a reinforcement of the popularity that the show gained in its first season. It is unlikely that there will ever be a comedy foursome to match the talents of Lucy, Ricky, Fred and Ethel. A look back at the fifties through their antics is good for the soul.
Classic Comedy. 2008-07-09
Ive been an advent "I Love Lucy" fan since I was a very little girl - I would watch this black-and-white comedy instead of the mirage of cartoons that many girls and boys my age instinctively turned to. Now at age 20, "I Love Lucy" continues to be my all-time favorite TV show. I love the clean humor, I adore the characters and the relationships between them, I admire Lucille Ball's natural talent to bring a hearty laugh to my lips, I just love everything about this show. I esp love the first two seasons, though the 3rd-6th seasons are no less enjoyable.
I own the complete set, Seasons 1-9, and would definitely recommend this to anyone!!
*I just realized my very first purchase at Amazon.com (way back in 2006) was The Complete Second Season of I Love Lucy. I LOVE LOVE LOVE it and I love MYSELF for buying it for me. =D
I Love Lucy; timeless! 2008-06-25
Lucille Ball brings on just as many laughs today as she did decades ago. Fortunately, this set includes one of my favorites: the episode with Lucy & Ethel boxing chocolates. The set was a birthday present for an 8-year-old, but all the family has enjoyed watching.
The most hilarious season yet! 2008-04-29
I found this second season to be just hilarious! Some of the absolutely funniest episodes are in this series and feature the very best of Lucy, Ethel, Fred, and Ricky's song and dance routines. I've found that we do well watching two episodes at a time and that it makes for very pleasant and enjoyable family evenings that way. The picture quality is excellent. The sound quality is good. And of course, Lucy is hilarious!
funny, Lucy is great!! 2008-02-09
This is all good stuff. Very funny. Plan to enjoy hours of laughing!
I Love Lucy, 2nd year 2008-01-12
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.
