I remember watching Lucy’s antics in black and white during my childhood. Just a couple of years later I was watching her in color. Later as an adult, hubby and I used to watch her in reruns. Her comedic timing was terrific and always good for a laugh. This box set would be a great gift for any Lucy fan. Here’s a complete product description.

I Love Lucy was one of my favorite shows growing up. I had forgotten that she also did The Lucy Show. I'll have to check it out. Great gift idea.

Slapstick Lucy started as a dancer. Everyone loved her.
