As you know,
June 15th see MPI Home Video's DVD release of

we passed along a list of bonus material for this 4-disc set, copied and pasted from MPI's official consumer website.

Our thanks to MPI Home Video for getting that information to us! And Lucille Ball fans don't want to forget about MPI's DVD release tomorrow of the 1977 one-shot special
Lucy Calls the President. It's not technically connected to any of the ongoing weekly series that our favorite redhead aired (which is why TVShowsOnDVD hasn't been covering the title), but it's worth a mention here because it's the last appearance together of Lucy with her longtime friend and co-star Vivian Vance (
I Love Lucy, The Lucy Show), and also stars Gale Gordon (
The Lucy Show, Here's Lucy). They are all joined by Ed McMahon, Steve Allen, Mary Jane Croft, James E. Brodhead, and a special cameo appearance at the end (we won't spoil it for you). The DVD release of this special has extras, too: among them you'll find over half an hour of rehearsal footage that was videotaped, plus a "Working With Lucy" featurette with James E. Brodhead, and also an item called "Rarely Seen Lucy." Be sure to check it out!
Here's the package art again for
Here's Lucy - Season 3, in case you missed our previous posting!
