Query: For Lucy Completists

Lucille Ball should have stretched her talents in a comedy-variety format. Instead, the immortal redhead dusted off the old routines for "Here's Lucy." Time has not been kind to this 1968-74 sitcom, which finally exhausts the Lucy formula. Though Ball, Gale Gordon, Lucie Arnaz and Desi Arnaz Jr. make a winning ensemble, the scripts and direction are a faint echo of the "I Love Lucy" days. Even the guest spots ring hollow - whether it's Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton or Johnny Carson and Ed McMahon. Worse still, Ball's once-sublime physical humor takes on a forced, repetitive quality. Except for a few welcome appearances, Vivian Vance is no longer around to pick up the slack. With its gaudy colors and cheesy sets, "Here's Lucy" looks more dated than "I Love Lucy" ever did. The extras in this DVD collection are better than the actual episodes.
