(More customer reviews)Lucille Ball teams up with two of the other great comedians from the early days of television and a teenager heart throb in this trio of episodes from "The Lucy Show." First, in "Lucy and George Burns" (#111, September 12, 1966), George Burns visits Mr. Mooney at the bank to get his dividend statement. There he encounters Lucy and decides to make the wacky redhead the new girl in his act. Their opening night is a smash success and Lucy has to decide between a career in show business or staying at the bank. Then, in "Lucy Meets the Berles," (#133, September 11, 1967), Lucy receives some time off from the bank to be a temporary secretary for special client Milton Berle. While Mr. Mooney enjoys peace and quiet at the bank, Lucy overhears Berle discussing a love scene with Ruta Lee and assumes the two are having an affair. This one contains the priceless sight of Thousand Island dressing dripping down Berle's face. This episode is one of the few rare but choice times the King and Queen of Television Comedy appeared together. This videotape offers as good a pair of episodes from "The Lucy Show" as you are going to find. Finally, we have Frankie Avalon guest starring as Tommy, the nephew of Mr. Cheever in "Lucy, the Starmaker" (Episode #136, October 2, 1967). Lucy is supposed to show Tommy the ropes at the bank but when she learns he is a singer she arranges for a producer to stop by the bank and discover the boy. Avalon gets to do a couple of numbers in this one. The Burns and Berle episodes alone make this a first rate collection. These episodes are introduced by Milton Berle and the tape also includes the theatrical trailer from Ball's 1943 movie "Best Foot Forward."
