Paramount to Release I LOVE LUCY: THE COMPLETE SERIES For the First Time on Blu-ray

Paramount Home Entertainment has announced that they will bring the iconic television series I Love Lucy to the Blu-ray format for the very first time. The collection will be available on November 5.

This must-own collection contains all the classic episodes from the six seasons of “I Love Lucy” (1951-1957) plus the iconic remastered “The Lucy-Desi Comedy Hour “(1957-1960), and a newly colorized and never-before-released “Lucy and the Loving Cup” episode. 

In October 1951, Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz debuted the first episode of what was to become one of the best-loved and most watched TV shows of all time. Zany redhead Lucy and her Cuban bandleader husband Ricky Ricardo, along with their neighbors and comic foils Ethel and Fred Mertz (Vivian Vance and William Frawley), got into the most hilarious predicaments ever imaginable.

Overflowing with notable guest stars and escapades that never lose their entertainment value, it’s no wonder why everyone still loves Lucy.
