I Love Lucy - The Complete Fourth Season (DVD, 2005, 5-Disc Set)

It seems that they always have my favorite episodes on the front cover of the "I Love Lucy" boxed sets. With this collection this is when Lucy and the gang first arrive in California and are getting settled in. In all the episodes with this collection will be in California and rather in the motel room or with Lucy out chasing movie stars. I love the Brown Durby episode that is on the front cover, it is when they first get to Hollywood and Ricky is busy so he gives Lucy some money and tells her to have fun out on the town, while he is working in the studio. Anyway Lucy, Ethel and Fred go to the Brown Durby for dinner and it is a local celebrity brunchin, and guess who sits behind them. The well known William Holden, and Lucy can't help but stairing at him and goucking over him, he decides for once to turn the tables and so he stairs at her and when her food arives she finds it dificult eating because he is stairing at her so hard and so they decide to leave, Fred not wanting to because he hardly got a bite to eat so Lucy tells him to get a doggy bag. As Lucy is leaving she trips the waiter that is bringing William Holden his food and he spills spagetti all over William Holden. Lucy is shoked and just loooked at him as he sits there with his arms crossed with him drinched in spagetti. Ethel drags Lucy out of the Brown Durby with Lucy's mouth wide open. When she gets back to the motel Ricky comes home and tells Lucy that he has a surprise for her and that he met William Holden at the studio and has brought him to the motel to meet Lucy. Lucy says no and begs Ricky not to make her go out and see him, but Ricky insists because he allready brought him there and so she has to come out and at least say hellow. Ricky tries to drag Lucy out of the bedrooom in the motel into the living area but she pulls back. He wants to know what is the matter with her because he thought she would be thrilled. He sais I know that your not shy and she sais thats it I am shy. Anyway She finally agrees that she will meet him but only after fixing her makeup, Ricky agrees and tells her to hurry up. She comes out into the living area with her nose fixed up so he would not recognize her and she is wearing glasses too. William tells her that she looks familiar and have they ever met, Lucy insits that they haven't. Finally when Lucy picks up a cigarette and William lights it for her, her nose catches to a fire and she dips it in her coffee to let it out, and peels the rest off. Ricky and William looking at her the whole time like she is crazy. William then recognizes Lucy from the Brown Durby and says now I know where I seen you, you went to the Brown Durby for lunch, afterwards he winks to her and he said yea Ricky I asked the waiter who that lovely red head was sitting behind me. Lucy then gives William holden a kiss for not saying anything to Ricky about spilling the spagetti on him and then realizing what she did, she yells "I kissed William Holden" and that was the end of the show. This was a great show! Another one of my many favorites from "I Love Lucy" and the clarity of the dvds are great and it comes with many shows and I love the special bonuses too. You get "My Favrite Husband" radio show, starring Lucille and many deleted scenes if you choose that from the main menu but you don't have to, it is just an added bonus.

I love some of the older TV shows mainly because I remember seeing them not long after they came out. This particular season was when they all went to hollywood. Lucy and Ricky were a great team and I will probably get a few more of the different seasons.

I bought season 4 for my wife for Valentine's Day, because she likes the show. When the next major holiday or her birthday comes around I am going to buy season 5. The description you gave me was very accurate and I can't wait to buy the next one.

I love this item. I collect I Love Lucy things, and this is a great addition to my collection. The price is alot cheaper than say Sam's Club,etc. Fast shipping. Thanks!

I've been a lifelong Lucy fan. Like other fans I was always at the mercy of tv stations and their schedules. Is Lucy airing now? Is it pre-empted again? And don't get me started on all that merciless editing that chips away from the episodes.

On e-bay I found some reasonably priced Lucy DVDs and now I'm hooked on them. No commercials, no editing and some 'fun' extras included. Now I can watch Lucy episodes in their entirety whenever I want.

If you love Lucy, the DVDs are worth it. The episode quality is clear. Many deleted scenes have been restored. The 'extras' such as some of the original commercials and openings are fun to watch too.

Very Fast Shipping and the item was in wonderful condition. Would definatly order from sell again. Thank you!

I enjoy the I Love Lucy series. The comedy is light, yet funny. It is appropriate for any one to watch, all age groups.
There is always humor involved even if the beginning may seem serious.
I would recommend this series for all.

Exactly like he said. Great deal! I would definitely buy again! One hundred characters to tell you what I mean. I think I've said enough! Good Job!
