Commemorating the 50th anniversary of I Love Lucy in 2001, this two-volume collection delivers exactly what it promises. Decades after their original broadcasts, these 10 episodes are as fresh and funny as ever, paying tribute to the timeless perfection of Lucy, Desi Arnaz, and their longtime costars Vivian Vance and William Frawley, whose appealing chemistry created comedic greatness and television history. Lucille Ball herself claimed that "Lucy Does a T.V. Commercial" (in which Lucy gets hilariously inebriated on "Vitameatavegamin") was her crowning achievement, and who’s going to argue? Or maybe you prefer Lucy and Harpo Marx recreating the legendary mirror routine from Duck Soup. Or her star-struck encounter with William Holden in Hollywood. That’s the blessing of this collection: Five of the episodes come from I Love Lucy’s second season (1952), but there’s not a clunker in the bunch. This is pure gold from start to finish, setting the standard for every sitcom that followed. Also included in this set is the bonus video American Masters documentary, Finding Lucy, which chronicles Ball's journey to becoming America's favorite redhead. --Jeff Shannon
