I Love Lucy: The Complete Series (1951) Box Set:

I have to admit — I was never a huge fan of Lucy ( preferred her film work). I found the TV series overly broad, way too mainstream America, overladen with “shmaltz & schtick”.

But I am decidedly in the minority — its one of the best-loved sitcoms in television history. And the price cut for the 34 disc set (5,394 minutes) from $235.98 to $79.99 caught my attention.

For you redheaded comedienne fans, here are the details:

The Whole McGillicuddy: All 9 Seasons! All 194 Episodes!
Fall in love again and again with the timeless comedy that entertains generation after generation.
