For those who enjoy colorized Lucy, CBS will issue this “DVD” this Fall – of – according to the Walmart link – December 30, 2019.  Details about content have not yet been released, but judging by the cover, it may include six colorized episodes:

  1. “Lucy Does A TV Commercial” (aka Vitameatavegamin)
  2. “L.A. at Last!” (aka William Holden)
  3. “Lucy and Superman”
  4. “Job Switching” (aka Candy Factory)
  5. “The Million Dollar Idea” (aka Aunt Martha’s Old Fashioned Salad Dressing)
  6. “The Fashion Show” (aka Don Loper)

Judging by the video, it also may include five more:

  1. “Lucy and Harpo Marx”
  2. “Pioneer Women” (aka the long loaf of bread)
  3. “Lucy’s Italian Movie” (aka Grape Stomping)
  4. “Lucy Visits Grauman’s”
  5. “Lucy Gets Into Pictures” (aka the large headdress)

There are still several others that have been colorized, but not represented in either the video or the

  1. “Bonus Bucks” (aka The Laundry)
  2. “The Dancing Star” (aka Cornel Wilde)
  3. “Lucy and John Wayne”

I don’t expect they will include “The ‘I Love Lucy’ Christmas Show,” which has been previously released or “Lucy Goes To Scotland” which was colorized, but previously released on DVD and never broadcast.  

UPDATE  – August 2019

The 2-disc DVD presents all 16 colorized episodes, including the “Christmas Show” and “Lucy Goes To Scotland”.  

  • “Lucy and Superman” comes with an audio commentary by Doris Singleton, Keith Thibodeaux, and Steven Kay. 
  • Bonus Features: “Redhead Tales” – Colorizing “I Love Lucy”
  • Bonus Feature: Stick Figure Animation
  • Bonus Feature: “Jingle Bells”
