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

I LOVE the I Love Lucy show September 18, 2008

I have been very satisfied buying products from this seller. I know what I want and I just buy it. The pricing is Excellent! The I Love Lucy show is very, very, funny without the smutty stuff that you have these days. This show proves you can be funny and decent at the same time.
I Love Lucy! August 2, 2008

This set is the entire second season. These sets are the best way to get all of the Lucy episodes you like in one place. This is better than buying one DVD for $9.99 at Wal-Mart and only getting 3 -4 episodes.
Classic Comedy. July 9, 2008

Ive been an advent "I Love Lucy" fan since I was a very little girl - I would watch this black-and-white comedy instead of the mirage of cartoons that many girls and boys my age instinctively turned to. Now at age 20, "I Love Lucy" continues to be my all-time favorite TV show. I love the clean humor, I adore the characters and the relationships between them, I admire Lucille Ball's natural talent to bring a hearty laugh to my lips, I just love everything about this show. I esp love the first two seasons, though the 3rd-6th seasons are no less enjoyable.
I own the complete set, Seasons 1-9, and would definitely recommend this to anyone!!
*I just realized my very first purchase at Amazon.com (way back in 2006) was The Complete Second Season of I Love Lucy. I LOVE LOVE LOVE it and I love MYSELF for buying it for me. =D
I Love Lucy; timeless! June 25, 2008
Ida Giadone (Point Loma)
Lucille Ball brings on just as many laughs today as she did decades ago. Fortunately, this set includes one of my favorites: the episode with Lucy & Ethel boxing chocolates. The set was a birthday present for an 8-year-old, but all the family has enjoyed watching.
The most hilarious season yet! April 29, 2008
L. K Reyes (Birmingham, Alabama United States)
I found this second season to be just hilarious! Some of the absolutely funniest episodes are in this series and feature the very best of Lucy, Ethel, Fred, and Ricky's song and dance routines. I've found that we do well watching two episodes at a time and that it makes for very pleasant and enjoyable family evenings that way. The picture quality is excellent. The sound quality is good. And of course, Lucy is hilarious!
