"I Love Lucy - Men Are Messy" starring Lucille Ball DVD

"Since we said 'I do' there are so many things that we don't! A genuine pioneer in the way in which TV programmes were recorded and presented, I Love Lucy laid down the all important, yet deceptively simple winning pattern for the domestic sitcom as far back as 1951. Remaining the creative template that is still followed to this day, the series also elevated it's star, Lucille Ball, to be regarded by many as US television's comedienne without peer. The series centred on the life of Lucy Ricardo the scatterbrained wife and showbiz wannabee of Cuban dance leader Ricky. The Ricardo's lived in an apartment on the East side of Manhattan where Lucy hatched most of her disaster prone schemes to improve life around the home, make money, or be anything other than an ordinary housewife. Sharing these adventures with her was best friend Ethel Mertz, married to the considerably older Fred, who's wisecracking asides made him a viewers favourite. It is estimated that the show has been running somewhere in the world at any time for over fifty years. A hit on both sides of the Atlantic I Love Lucy was also the first US sitcom to be seen on British television, when in 1955 it appeared in ITV's first week on air. Whilst most shows come and go only to be forgotten in the mists of time, there are some that are assured of their place in television history. This DVD disc contains 3 (or 4) classic episodes, from the 179 which were filmed between 1951 and 1956.: Men Are Messy also featuring The Adagio; The Benefit
