It's crazy the longevity it holds!

"I Love Lucy" will still be around long after the pyramids are dust.

😊😊😊

I started watching in the early 90s as well. I still remember watching it whenever I was home sick from school and every day in the summer. There used to be nick at nite in the summer and Tuesday nights were Lucy nights! A few hours of back to back episodes. Today I have the entire series on DVD. Funny how a show that aired years before I was born is one of my most favorite shows ever.

It was good family programming. Parents didn't have to worry about profanity, etc.😊😊

😃

Same age and same here!

I’m 51 and have been watching since 4 years old. They never, ever get old. It truly has stood the test of time.

im 28, been watching since im 3 also =]

I’m 20 and been watching since I was 5

I know right!

Also, Lucy's "It's a happy little loaf, isn't it" LOL 🍞

It really does!

Yes! So cool. We 💙❤💚🖤💜🧡 Lucy/Ricky/Ethel/Fred in any/no color. 📺

@@tonynegron1927 😀

Me too! I think one day they will when the technology gets advanced enough.

They do.

I 2nd that🙋🏾‍♀

@@kimberlythompson16 where??

@@kimberlythompson16 From my understanding there's only 16 done.

For real!

Except Lucy's hair is a bit overdone.

Thats right! While colorizing, if the colors wouldn't have looked good they would replace them with less garish colors.

"And he will make the face of heaven so fine, that all the world will be in love with night, and pay no worship to the garish sun."--Romeo and Juliet

Not sure what folks are talking about. This type of colorizing isn't some AI that magically "knows" what color things were. It's a very human-driven art. Humans have to do research to find out what colors things were, or make educated guesses. It's like coloring in a coloring book. The digital technology is just a tool to implement those human decisions.

Some of the colors were also adjusted a bit for broadcast television. There is a color photograph of the entire set while in construction and the kitchen was painted in a mustard yellow. Not sure what the name of that color is. They kept changing colors as the show progressed. The living room walls and doors were painted in shades of gray. They did get the green hallway correct and the bedroom was blue. Too bad we can't post pics here.

Correct, this is why the Addams Family set, if you look at BTS photos, are all in pink!

That’s one of my favorite parts!

@@Ross-117 me too! Lol

My favorite Fred line was when Lucy and Ethyl decided they were going to make themselves up as glamorous. Lucy was in the room with Fred and Ricky when Ethyl knocked on the door. Fred jumped up and Lucy said, "don't get up Fred, I'll get it Fred said, "get it? I was gonna LOCK IT."

@@billp4 😂

Haha I love that part!

@@Ross-117 that part will never get old. Its one of my favorite scenes in i love lucy

Lol I can relate to Fred 😂

4:08😂😂😂😂

4:07😂😂😂😂

Thank you!

major fan i collect her stuff

I always think that too!

Originally Bea Benaderet was set to play Ethel's role, but something happened to change that- thank goodness! I liked BB, but she was no Ethel! If you remember, she played the elderly lady widow that Lucy was trying to fix up with the grocery store man. That was a hilarious episode!

Me too!

I agree!

It really is amazing!

Yoooo. Love your channel man. Glad to know I’m not the only metal head that loves classic TV.

Of course!

I was born in late 1956. I Love Lucy was on in reruns my entire life. It was one of the best things about being home sick from school, lying in bed and watching Lucy, Ricky, Fred and Ethel.

Me too!

I have been watching the show since I was little too! Glad you enjoyed it!

Haha yeah, I intend to eventually make a part two with more episodes but when I find funny moments I go through episodes and they end up getting bunched together like this.

How did you find the color episodes??

@@misstiff2216 I got them in the I Love Lucy Complete Colorized Collection. There are only a few episodes that have been colorized from the series.

@@Ross-117 Oh really?? So there's a DVD set/collection out there in color but only a few episode's are offered in color? Not the whole series huh??

@@misstiff2216 Yeah, you can find it on Amazon. I think it has 16 episodes, and they colorize a new one every year for the Christmas special.

Very true == and more "contrast" as well

Agreed. Some people don’t like the colors but I love them personally.

Black and white was done to perfection back then. I grew up on watching them in black and white, so that's what I'm use to. Still great though in either version.

@@brkitdwn love it in black and white oh, that's what I'm used to seeing it in

Detail and CONTRAST

Haha it suprised me how many people found out by watching this!

That's crazy! I never thought about it that way before!

Yes. Circa 1900 clothes. Of course, Fred dated back to that time so he liked the clothes.

Haha thanks so much! I didn’t color it though 😂 CBS did and it must have taken ages!

Glad you enjoyed it!

I know right!

Me too!

CBS really did an AMAZING job!

Amazing how well they can colorize nowadays...pretty impressive.

Haha I love that part!

Me too!

I think the same thing!

Many do, although this color is a lot easier to enjoy then the original colorizations, which included downgrades resolution and a whopping 16 colors.

Colorization never gets the skin tones right. They look like mannequins.

I agree 100%. The black and white look makes the show timeless in my opinion...😎👍

Some people certainly think that!

The color shows the unconventional color schemes between sets and costumes, in order for them to show up properly in black and white.

Nah it's a LOT better in colour

I will take color over black and white any day!

They really did a great job!

I know right!

That’s how I was introduced too!

I agree!

Agreed!

😂

Bustle

I know right!

Haha!

Remember reading that they actually found a bakery to specially bake the bread, up until reading this I didn't even think it was a real loaf of bread. It was rye because it kept better, and after filming the episode they actually sliced it up and shared it with the audience

@@heatherr0420 I read the same thing!

The oven must have been a TARDIS. There is no way that bread would fit in that oven.

​@@Wolfinger1935 It was baked in a professional bakery in one of those enormously wide ovens.

That actually happened! Crazy to think of a bread loaf that big!

@@Ross-117 it’s possible if you got the time, money, and the wrong cooking measurements

​@@Wingedlight-nn4hl And a big professional bakery oven. I get hungry every time I see that! Fresh baked bread is a heavenly treat. The smell it leaves in the house is unbelievable. I am drooling already.

It cracked me up that the rack itself grew long with the bread!

CBS really did such a good job!

Agreed!

A lot of people think that, I don’t know what I prefer it depends on the mood I am in.

I feel the same way. There's something weird about it being colorized...mainly because of how saturated and unnatural it all looks. Still, it's interesting too see.

Honestly, it seems that more people prefer the original black and white versions over colorization and not just with this. Maybe people who prefer the originals are much more vocal about it, but it seems that colorization has gotten such intense backlash, whether it was when it was in it's infancy or the modern technology. It seems that many absolutely despise it. The thing to remember though is that the original black and white versions aren't going anywhere, and colorization is merely an alternative rather than a replacement or a modern version. And anyone who doesn't like colorization certainly doesn't have to watch stuff that way. Personally, I'm a big fan of colorization. I was absolutely blown away by it with my first major exposure to it many years ago. Last year, I collected all of the colorized material of The Three Stooges. I already owned all the main shorts, but I definitely prefer the colorized versions of the 20 shorts that were colorized, and some of the additional colorized material is very enjoyable as well. Even though there will always be haters of colorization, I'm glad it still has its fans that can appreciate all the effort put into it and what it brings to entertainment that is famous for a reason.

I know right!

I bought the complete dvd set which was great, there are (b/w) episodes that you can find there that aren’t on streaming services. The Complete Color Collection has all but one (The Paris episode) of the episodes they colorized.

Thanks!

It really is!

It really is!

Me too!

Thank you!

Yes!!

Great story!

Aww!!

I know right!

High key! He and Desi had the funniest lines in my opinion

Me too!

It is!

It really looks amazing!

The step to the kitchen is in a certain apartment they live in different apartment units over the series

@@PinkZomb1e ..... Yeah I knew that there were different apartments that they lived in. I just never really paid any attention to the way they enter the kitchen, until now!...lol...

Haha! Thanks so much!

Haha I agree!

I totally agree. I’m not sure about the appliances though, didn’t they come in light blue as well?

If you want the episodes not included in the streaming packages, you can find them airing on tv occasionally or you can buy the full dvd set CBS made, it goes on sale for 25 dollars sometimes and it really is a great deal.

Haha!

It really is, CBS did a wonderful job!

😍

Me too!

I always think about that too! Some of the other shows that originally filmed on the new color system were in much worse quality. This holds up so so well.

Me too!

I know right!

I know right!

😂I love that part

I love it too!
