Oh, my dear friends and fellow fans of classic television, let me tell you, this news about the I Love Lucy: The Complete Series Blu-ray release has got me positively giddy! As someone who grew up watching reruns of this iconic sitcom on a black-and-white TV set in my grandmother’s living room, I can’t express how thrilled I am to finally own the entire series in high definition.
Paramount Home Entertainment has set a Blu-ray release date for the full series of “I Love Lucy,” the classic 1950s sitcom featuring comedy icon Lucille Ball and actor-musician Desi Arnaz. The show ran for six seasons, from 1951 to 1957.
In October 1951 premiered the first episode of a TV show that would later become an enduring favorite and viewer staple: ‘I Love Lucy’. This iconic series featured the zany redhead Lucy (Lucille Ball) and her Cuban bandleader husband Ricky Ricardo (Desi Arnaz), alongside their neighbors Ethel and Fred Mertz, portrayed by Vivian Vance and William Frawley. Together they embarked on the funniest escapades imaginable, filled with memorable guest stars. It’s no surprise that this classic show remains beloved due to its timeless humor and unforgettable antics.
