Ostensibly a vehicle for a fan-selected list of top 10 favorite "I Love Lucy" episodes (available in the <I>Best of</I> I Love Lucy <I>Collection</I>), this 2001 special covers all the requisite territory with a solid sense of history and affectionate nostalgia, combining loving reminiscence and commentary (by such luminaries as Lily Tomlin, Barbara Walters, and Dick Van Dyke) with vintage clips from the selected episodes. More substantial segments demonstrate the deeper significance of the <I>Lucy</I> phenomenon past and present, from Desi Arnaz's influential impact on Latino culture in America to Lucy's historic onscreen pregnancy. When surviving children Lucie Arnaz and Desi Arnaz Jr. visit their mother's childhood home, their emotions are as genuine as <I>I Love Lucy</I>'s cultural importance, adding gentle tears to an abundance of laughter. As valentines go, this anniversary couldn't be more special. <I>--Jeff Shannon</I> Reader Reviews This was on TV a few years ago. If you are a true Lucy fan you will enjoy.
