Here's a great addition to the Lucy library even if it is a minor one. The show was funnier than I expected based on all the negative reviews. Lucy and Gale Gordon are the funniest, of course, and some scenes seem like "remakes" from the classic "I Love Lucy" show, but the Lucy brilliance stills comes through quite often. This was on against NBC's powerhouse Saturday night line-up of the eighties, and most of the cast were relative unknowns, at least at the time. This could have accounted for the show's failure, but it seems like it just wasn't given a fair chance. The unaired episodes toward the end of the series seemed to be getting better, and I thought "Lucy And The Guard Goose" was quite funny. Still glad to have this as it completes the Lucy collection. Now let's hope for "The Golden Palace" on DVD, although some "unofficial" releases already exist. I know these shows won't appeal to everyone, but for us collectors and completists, they're fun to have and watch again. I saw a few of these "Life With Lucy" eps when they first aired.Read full review

It's definitely not Lucy's best work!!! However, she and Gale Gordon were much older than when they did her previous shows. The other characters in this show were not very interesting at all. I have been a Lucy fan since I was born but even I can see why this series was cancelled before all the episodes aired. If you really want to see it I would say see if you can check it out at the library and then decide if you want yo buy it or not

BEWARE: You might have difficulty watching the elderly Lucille Ball pretty much doing the same gags as she did in her prime. That said, after a few views, I was indeed able to relax a little and realize Lucille Ball still had about 75% of the magic she once had.

The shows episodes are like a step back in time to tv era 50's and 60's. A time where you can sit back and enjoy a show without being preached at 2hat is wrong with this country.

Lucy's last series , as a fan I had to include this series into my collection . Several episodes never aired on TV which was a treat to finally view . Not the best of her sitcoms , but she was and will always be the Queen of Comedy .
