The Lucy Show - DVD Releases

DVD Releases

Before July 2009, there were only 30 public domain episodes available on DVD and/or VHS (2 episodes from the first season, 21 from the fifth season, and 7 from the sixth season). These episodes have been released by different companies like Vintage Home Entertainment, Alpha Video, Digiview, Front Row Entertainment, Diamond Entertainment Madacy Entertainment and Echo Bridge Home Entertainment.

CBS DVD (distributed by Paramount) has released all six seasons on DVD in Region 1, as of October 9, 2012. CBS announced that all the episodes have been remastered using the original 35mm negatives.

The first three official DVD releases allow you to view the original openings, closings, and cast commercials directly in the episode, while the fourth, fifth and sixth season DVD releases do not allow you to view vintage elements directly in the episodes.

Famous quotes containing the word releases:

    “We need a type of theatre which not only releases the feelings, insights and impulses possible within the particular historical field of human relations in which the action takes place, but employs and encourages those thoughts and feelings which help transform the field itself.”
    —Bertolt Brecht (1898–1956)
