I LOVE LUCY: SEASON 1

Details

• Release Year: 1951
• Genre: Comedy
• Plot: Here's how it all began - the classic episodes that started America's long-running love affair with everyone's favorite madcap redhead, Lucille Ball. Plus the rarely seen pilot episode that sold the I LOVE LUCY series. By the end of its initial season, I LOVE LUCY was TV's first bona fide smash hit - the very first program seen in more than 10 million homes. America just couldn't get enough of this stunning new comedy talent - Lucy as a less-than-poised would-be ballerina in 'The Ballet,' Lucy battling the world's longest loaf of bread in 'Pioneer Women,' and Lucy in her greatest performance, as the health tonic-guzzling TV pitchwoman for Vitameatavegamin in 'Lucy Does A TV Commercial.' ('And it's so tasty, too!') Fall in love all over again, with the wild and wacky series that changed TV forever!
