Trivia

Jayne Meadows, an old friend of Lucy's, agreed to do a cameo on "How to Stop a Marriage". She said in a recent EMMY TV LEGENDS interview that the script was one of the worst she had ever seen; it made no sense. Lucy apologized; saying they had spent all their time on LUCY MEETS LIZ AND RICHARD (Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton) on the previous episode; and this episode was the next one; was so bad because they bought it off the market. Meadows said "they probably spent about 50 cents on it it was so bad. It made no sense at all."

User Reviews

Thank you Luci and Desi Jr. for the DVD set!

I highly recommend this set to Lucy fans. I think it is very well produced and I appreciate the voice over's done by Luci and Desi Jr.

However.....If I were to suggest a few things, I would rather have this show released in a complete season by season format instead of selected episodes. For instance, the Mary Tyler Moore shows would be a good example of how to release this as they are being released (although very very slowly) in a season by season packaging format. I'm not sure this will happen with "Here's Lucy" but it would sure be nice.....so here's hoping for some future volumes of this great show on DVD. Highly recommended to all even though I wished they would release ALL the shows instead of selected episodes. I give it 10 stars!
