Season 2 of I Love Lucy includes two of the most famous half-hours in television history. "Job Switching," originally broadcast mid-September of 1952, is the crazy, battle-of-the-sexes episode in which husbands Ricky Ricardo (Desi Arnaz) and Fred Mertz (William Frawley) trade roles with wives Lucy (Lucille Ball) and Ethel (Vivian Vance), culminating in the men making a shambles of domestic chores while Lucy and Ethel take disastrous work at a chocolate factory. That's right: This is the show where the ladies have a Chaplinesque experience with a too-fast factory conveyor belt, forcing them to hide candies in their mouths, in their hats, and down their blouses lest a tough forewoman fire them for incompetence. A half-century later, the scene is still so fresh and funny it would grace any current sitcom. "Lucy Goes to the Hospital," which received an amazing 71.7 rating on January 19, 1953, is the historic episode featuring the birth of Little Ricky and a load of wonderful slapstick. Other television series (The Dick Van Dyke Show) and movies (Nine Months) have tried to top Lucy's time-to-go-to-the-hospital shenanigans, but there's nothing like the sight of Ricky and Fred falling all over themselves or Ricky showing up at the maternity ward (direct from a voodoo-themed show at the Tropicana) in witch doctor makeup. The other 31 episodes included in I Love Lucy: The Compete Second Season have choice moments, too. "Lucy Becomes a Sculptress" finds the ever-ambitious redhead falling for empty flattery at an art-supply store and commencing an ill-advised career working in clay. Ricky agrees to bless this new endeavor if an art critic says she has talent, but Lucy tries to increase her chances by posing as a bust of herself--resulting in mayhem, of course. The usual running themes in I Love Lucy--Lucy's misguided desire to be a part of Ricky's musical career, and her penchant for disguising herself to investigate something--are all over The Complete Second Season. "Ricky Loses His Voice" is a delightful piece in which Ricky's laryngitis inspires Lucy, the Mertzes, and an aging chorus line to put on a Tropicana spectacle, and "Ricky Has Labor Pains" finds Lucy and Ethel going undercover as male reporters to find out what happens at a stag party. Lots to enjoy here, and the special features include bloopers, information about the guest cast, and snippets from Ball's radio show. --Tom Keogh

Classic Comedy October 1, 2009

What could be better than I Love Lucy episodes on dvd to watch any time you need a laugh? I Love Lucy is classic comedy, and I enjoy having the dvds in my home. This second season box set comes with 5 dvds (each in it's own case), featuring 31 hilarious episodes.
Great in every way August 30, 2009
G_Threepwood (Ruhrgebiet)
Really, really great in every way. These DVDs contain all the episodes of the 2nd season of "I love Lucy" and includes some of the radio-shows as well. The picture and sound quality is very good and even on my 52"-screen quite sharp. The episodes are very funny, even for our modern sense of humor. For me it was the first time that I had the chance to see "I love Lucy" at all since the show was never broadcasted here in Germany. Another thing: The delivery from Amazon.com! It was really fast. I think it took just a little bit more than a week from my order till I got the parcel here in Germany. And I just had the ordinary standard shipping. Conclusion: Great product, great delivery - great in every way.

I am Cuban and bought this for my American wife. I was shocked at how much my 10-year-old daughter loves it, too! This show is 50 years old and as funny as any current show.
