'Lucy' tops list of TV series to get DVD treatment
"I Love Lucy: The Complete Fourth Season" (CBS/Para-mount, 1954-55, not rated, $54.99, five discs). This is the season that Ricky (Desi Arnaz) took Lucy (Lucille Ball) and the Mertzes (Vivian Vance, William Frawley) to Hollywood, allowing for celebrity-guest appearances galore.
The most famous are by William Holden, who tries to light Lucy's cigarette but instead lights her false nose, and Harpo Marx and Lucy (subbing for Groucho) in a hilarious replication of the mirror sequence from "Duck Soup." Van Johnson, Rock Hudson, Richard Widmark, Tennessee Ernie Ford and more are also here.
Extras: Full frame, 30 episodes, bloopers, restored music, making-of audio featurette, original openings, original animated transitions, production notes, five audio episodes of "My Favorite Husband," language and subtitle options (English, Spanish), chapters.
The stories in this third season continue Lorelai's tenuous relationship with her parents (Kelly Bishop, Edward Herrmann), see Rory graduating from high school and preparing to enter college, and have both still looking for romance in all the wrong places.
Extras: Full frame, 22 episodes, deleted scenes, making-of featurettes, subtitle options (English, French, Spanish), chapters.
"Touched By an Angel" (CBS/Paramount, 1995-96, not rated, $54.99, six discs). The second season of this made-in-Utah faith-promoting series brings John Dye onboard as Andrew the Angel of Death, who assists angels Monica (Roma Downey) and her supervisor Tess (Della Reese) in helping people get through a variety of soap-opera dilemmas. Guest stars include Maya Angelou, Natalie Cole, Hal Linden, Cindy Williams, Stacy Keach and Kathie Lee Gifford.
Extras: Full frame, 22 episodes, language options (English, Spanish), chapters.
"Joan of Arcadia: The First Season" (CBS/Paramount, 2003-04, not rated, $54.99, six discs). Here's another good-hearted show with characters who express an open belief in God, although this one is definitely more quirky. Amber Tamblyn stars as a high school girl who talks to God (who appears in various character forms some quite unexpected), and whose family has problems of their own (Joe Mantegna and Mary Steenburgen co-star).
