Release price is way too high
The fact that another season is coming out in Blu-ray is great. The problem is that Paramount/CBS is releasing these with super high prices. While plenty of people say you can just wait and they'll eventually come down in price (like season 1 did) and that is true, the problem is that if they keep releasing these with high prices and people keep waiting a year to buy, they may eventually stop releasing for perceived lack of demand. Plenty of people are already nervous that this is what's happened with Andy Griffith since both Lucy and Griffith S1 blu's were released at the same time and now there's only notice of Lucy S2. They may have wrongly assumed that just because people didn't want to buy Andy Griffith S1 for a hundred bucks that there's no demand, when really there is demand, just at a reasonable price-point like 30-35 dollars. Over a hundred dollars for one season of Lucy on Blu-ray, when you can buy the entire series for that price on DVD with LOADS of special features...
Awesome, as expected.
People, PLEASE stop driving the review rating down on this wonderful product based solely on price. As another reviewer mentioned, the cost involved in doing a frame by frame restoration of 60+ year old films has to be through the roof. CBS is sparing no expense in putting these superb "Ultimate Seasons" together. What do you all expect the price to be, 20 bucks? If it's out of your price range, either don't buy it, or wait about a year until the price drops substantially.
Now, as for the product itself, I received my "Ultimate Season 2" on it's release date, 8/4/15. I'm about 6 episodes in, and so far season 2 is just as gorgeous as season 1. Stunning picture quality. The bonus features are great as well. I'm a Lucy fanatic, but I've never seen "The I Love Lucy Movie" before. So glad that they included it in the bonus features. The "Job Switching" episode with audio commentary was really cool too. Thomas J. Watson is the man! He's doing an...
... to see this to know that it will be great like Volume 1
I don't have to see this to know that it will be great like Volume 1. For those of you complaining about no interest and possible discontinuation of the series on blu ray...RELAX. These show are just making their way onto HD stations. They're still marketable and profitable. They will continue to master in HD and have the added bonus of us all buying the series again on blu ray. It's a win-win situation. They WILL release all seasons. Therefore, punk, I have to ask you one question. Can you wait for the price to come down or do you need it now?
