 "Lucy's Really Lost Moments" can just stay lost... November 19, 2009
I did not like this DVD. First of all, with the first scene being that of Bob Hope and his stand-up comedy routine, which went on and on for no good reason, thus felt quite incongruent for a "Lucy" moment. Apparently, it was a segment from his TV show whereby after about 15 minutes of his dry humor and non-funny monologue about who knows what, he eventually got to the purpose of my buying this DVD in the first place--to see a "Lucy lost moment." However, to me, it felt inappropriate to have Hope's face be the first seen when I pushed "play."
I actually thought the Amazon.com seller had punked me by putting the wrong DVD into the daggone DVD case, at first. I was about to really have a "lose it moment" and pitch an absolute conniptic fit!!! But nah, it was real; there it was, a scene featuring the entire "I Love Lucy" cast with Bob Hope and that seal act, which was extremely unimpressive and tired. Besides, I did not like Hope's disparaging racists remarks about Desi, his accent, etc. Coming from him, and not Lucy, it felt disingenuous and extremely un-welcomed.
However, the only good thing I enjoyed about this act was that I had the opportunity to see the "I Love Lucy" set in color, which was fascinating, actually.
In addition, the rest of the "...really lost moments" on this DVD were comprised of a few hodgepodge performances, which didn't seem to be in any particular sequential order, and none of which were impressive to me. And that second to the last dolphin scene went on for waaaaaayyyyy toooooooooo longgggggggggggggg; it felt like about 30 minutes, actually. It must have been on some kind of loop. I got it during the first 2 minutes, so geeesssshhhh!
As you can see, I did not like this DVD. It felt very opportunistic to me, a way for somebody to cash in on the "Lucy & Desi" franchise, but was full of junk that would have been best left un-pressed as it was un-impressive!
Now, with all this said, I would hope that their children had nothing to do with this, nor sanctioned or endorsed it in any kind of way, as it was a disgrace. Actually, I could have done this myself, that's how un-impressive it was.

I loved it! It's got lots of things I couldn't find anywhere else... being a huge Lucy fan, it's a must have! I wish some of it wasn't cut down so much, though... Like the 'Whats My Line' and 'I've Got a secret' portions were edited quite a bit - they're nicer on 'lucy and desi: a home movie' - wish more would have been on the dvd - but I loved it! 4 stars because I thought more could have been on the dvd, but it's amazing none the less. Totally worth it. Much of the things I've never seen!

First, my bona fides as a Lucy fan: I've named my four dogs Lucy, Ricky, Ethel and Fred.
I Love Lucy is one of those iconic shows that essentially defined an era in television entertainment, and consequently American culture. Even today, with the multitude of distractions available, kids are still growing up watching and laughing at poor Lucy's antics. Shows like I Love Lucy engender a strong bond with their resulting fans.
Lucy's Really Lost Moments is a package for the hardcore Lucy fan, primarily because it focuses on extraneous material as opposed to the cut and dry episodic formula of most compilations. Don't come expecting a sequence of familiar show episodes, this disc doesn't contain any. What this disc does contain is a host of stuff you've never seen before, like Lucy and Desi's appearances on the Bob Hope Show, game shows, Westinghouse infomercials, all sorts of commercials and trailers and bloopers and the pilot episode from the show. All of this lush material has been re-imagined in full color, thanks to Legend's high-tech process, which honestly makes it look as real as if it had originally been filmed with a first generation color camera (sans grain and other uncorrectable evils). Truly a must-own for the Lucy fan, as you will never find this same material elsewhere!
