I Love Lucy: The Complete Fifth Season finds Lucy Ricardo (Lucille Ball) making an international mess out of husband Ricky's globe-trotting tour as an entertainer. Beginning with "Lucy Visits Grauman's" and "Lucy and John Wayne," the impulsive redhead risks Ricky's sanity in Hollywood by stealing a cement slab, from the famous entrance to Grauman's Chinese Theater, that contains the imprint of John Wayne's footprints and signature. In the tradition of superstars playing themselves on I Love Lucy, an exasperated (and very funny) Wayne gets into the act over and over and over again, making new imprints on multiple slabs because Lucy keeps messing up the results. After more shenanigans in Los Angeles (Lucy attends a ritzy party with a dummy substituting for her unavailable husband) and a disastrous train ride home, it's time to jeopardize Ricky's success during an interview show that ends disastrously.
Lucy's fifth season travel theme continues when Ricky and his band are booked on a European tour that does not include his wife or the Mertzes. Of course, that doesn't stop the determined Lucy (or Ethel), who schemes her way into Ricky's plans, only to have a number of snafus arise as she tries to leave the country. In the I Love Lucy tradition, entire episodes are written around such simple matters as trying to get a passport, or helping with Fred's fear of getting seasick while traveling. All this show's stars really need is a ridiculous, open-ended situation to exploit, and the comedy flows from there. "Bon Voyage" is a particularly funny episode in which Lucy gets left behind by the European-bound ship carrying Ricky and the others, and she has to find a way to get back aboard. The hilarious "Lucy and the Queen" finds her angling in London for a way to meet the Royal Family after Ricky is invited to say hello at the Palladium. From there, Lucy creates chaos in Scotland (this episode includes a memorable dream sequence in which Ricky appears as Scotty MacTavish MacDougal MacCardo), Paris (where she and Ethel plot to meet guest star and good sport Charles Boyer at an outdoor café), Rome (the outstanding "Lucy's Italian Movie" finds her dispatched to a vineyard, where she has to crush grapes--brilliantly--with her feet). Lots of special features, including a behind-the-scenes peek and bloopers. --Tom Keogh

What a great way to spend quality time with your whole family. Lucy and her gang keeps you laughing - episode after fun-loving episode. My son roars when watching these 30-minute adventures and I LOVE knowing that another generation has come down with the "I Love Lucy" bug.

I Love Lucy - The Complete Fifth Season is, in my opinion, one of the best seasons yet. Lucy is absolutely hilarious, especially on her trip to Europe.
At one point, in London, she, Ricky, Fred, and Ethel go to visit the estate of an earl (?). Lucy is worried about the earl's daughter's attraction to Ricky. When the two go on a fox hunt, Lucy makes up her mind to go with them. It's absolutely hilarious!

I ordered the 5th season from I Love Lucy as these included the episodes in which the two couples went to Europe. The people they encountered had a knowledge of English based realistically on their professions. One of the best sequences was a chain of translation in a Paris police station going from French to English via German and Spanish. Very gratifying to see these shows again, now that I understand some European languages.

They go to Rome, London, and Paris and it is a pretty funny season. I enjoy it and is worth the purchase. We have purchased every season and this is probably in the top 4 seasons out of nine. The first series is the best, but this definitely keeps the laughs coming. Lucy can stress you out just watching her.
