New 2006 Lucy Calendar coming!

A new I Love Lucy wall calendar is in the works for 2006 in the shape of a purse! This calendar from Mead is one of several different I Love Lucy calendars and engagement books in development and will be released later this summer. I'll post when it becomes available and where you can purchase your next year's calendar.

TVLand showing I Love Lucy

I came home tonight to find Lucy on TVLand! I guess Friday the 13th isn't that unlucky! From 5pm until 8pm, I Love Lucy episodes were played. Episode 103 - Ricky's Movie Offer, 104 - Ricky's Screen Test, 105 - Lucy's Mother-In-Law, 106 - Ethel's Birthday, 107 - Ricky's Contract, and 108 - Getting Ready. These were the episodes prior to their trip to California.

I know they play Lucy during the morning hours, but I'm at work and never get to enjoy them. Although, I do have the I Love Lucy series on DVD through Columbia House. They're up to Season 5 now - only one more season and I have the complete series on DVD. I hope they follow this up with the Lucy/Desi Comedy Hour, which some people view as the "7th season" of I Love Lucy.

Apparently, TVLand's new broadcast schedule started the beginning of the month and last Friday was a "mini" marathon as well. Is this going to be the new Friday evening entertainment?

Hope they also put back Mary Tyler Moore Show!

Stone Pillow DVD being released

The much awaited release of the movie Stone Pillow will be coming in July! For those of you who don't know, Stone Pillow is Lucille Ball's final movie before her death in 1989. It was a made-for-tv movie that was televised on CBS in 1985. It was only shown on TV a few times since that time, but has been available underground and in tape-trading communities for some time. It will finally be nice to see a completely clear and retail version copy of the movie. Once I find out exactly where it will be on retail, I will notify everyone!
