Paramount Home Media began its first wave of Q1 2017 DVD and
Blu-ray product announcements this past week and there are some nice things
planned for January.
Leading the hit parade, which is only natural for Lucille
Ball, is the Jan. 17 DVD release of I Love Lucy: Superstar Special #2,
which includes both colorized and the original broadcast black and white
versions of two classic episodes — both plucked from the 1955/56 season.
The first is the October of 1955 episode, “Lucy Visits
Grauman's,” which finds Lucy and her sidekick Ethel (Vivian Vance) visiting the
iconic Grauman's Chinese Theatre on Hollywood Blvd. and coming away with a very
unique souvenir.
The second episode getting special treatment here is titled
“Lucy and John Wayne,” which was also first broadcast in October of 1955. This is basically the second part to “Lucy
Visits Grauman's” as that “unique souvenir” involves John Wayne!
Also in January — streeting on Jan. 10 — is the next full
season of the Comedy Central series starring Abbi Jacobson and Ilana Glazer, Broad
City: Season 3.
This double-disc DVD collection features all ten episodes —
yes, uncensored — featuring such guest stars as Cynthia Nixon, Alan Alda, Tony
Danza, Melissa Leo, Whoopi Goldberg, Susie Essman, Bob Balaban, Vanessa Williams,
Seth Green (in a two-parter) and even Hillary Clinton.
