I was cheated
This is a poor quality transfer for both picture and sound and I am not sure they had the rights to the whole thing because they took out the theme song and replaced it with some really bad instrumental piece...the episodes are obscure...I live in France and wanted to get in touch with my youth and expose my daughter to the real American culture...may I did...these people screwed everything up for a buck...2 episodes per disc...make you want to feel like you are getting value for money but 45 miutes per DVD is a joke...

Avoid is my recommendation

Hillbillies Great -- Lousy DVD
The Beverly Hillbillies are wonderful, but this DVD stinks. First, the episodes do not include the classic Hillbillies theme song -- the producers hve substituted some other song and this borders on blasphemy. In addition, the transfer to DVD is awful! The picture and sound quality are the worst I've seen on any DVD. I have read that DVDs from Madacy Entertainment are bad, now I believe it. Still, for the hard core Beverly Hillbillies fan like myself, these black and white episodes from the second and third seasons of the show are a must. Were it not for the poor quality of the DVD, I would rate it 5 stars. ... Read more

Very bad quality
If you see this DVD, stop and slowly back away. That way, no one will get hurt. It looked like a good deal at first. This is a two-sided DVD containing several hours of video at a great price. Sadly, it was too good to be true. I agree with another reviewer about the shoddy tehcnical quality of this film-to-DVD transfer. The images are grainy and riddled with dust, scratches and other contaminants. Worse yet, the audio track is noticeably out of sync. (It was like viewing one of those poorly-dubbed, Japanese sci-fi flicks.) To be fair, however, I did purchase a couple of other titles (Not Lucy, unfortunately) printed by the same company and they were okay.

Terrible Video Transfer
I was very much looking forward to this video, but the quality of the transfer is the worst I've ever seen on a commercial video or DVD. The brightness is recorded so high that only the darkest parts of the video are legible, and turning the brightness down on the TV doesn't help at all. The audio transfer rates a 2 on side 1, and a -1 on side 2 as it is out of sync with the video. ... Read more

This DVD includes 2 episodes from THE LUCY SHOW, starring Lucille Ball, Gale Gordon and Mary Jane Croft.

"Lucy and the French Movie Star" - Lucy meets a French film star (played by Jacques Bergerac), but romantic complications intervene.

"Lucy Flies to London" - Lucy enters a dog-food contest and wins an all-expenses-paid trip to London. However, getting there proves to be half the battle when her plane-trip dissolves into chaos.

A great purchase for all 'Lucy' fans! ... Read more
