Down Memory Lane in the DVD Collection

The AV News blog is back with a round-up of recently added DVDs. Enjoy!

Remember the 1970s? If you were around then and anywhere near a tv, you'll remember Alice. (You might even remember the spin-off, Flo.)Take a trip down memory lane with this collection of six episodes, and share fond moments with trash-talking Flo and her signature line: "Kiss my grits!"

Reserve this DVD in the catalog.





And then there's Chico and the Man. Set in an east L. A. garage, this series from the mid-70s was the first U.S. series set in a Mexican-American neighborhood and starred Freddie Prinze as a wise-cracking street kid who forms a warm bond with crabby garage owner Jack Albertson. Though the show was a hit into its third season, breakout star Prinze was unable to shake his personal demons. This collection of episodes includes the last episode filmed with Prinze, "Ed Talks to God."

Though best known for the classic I Love Lucy series, Lucille Ball had another hit series in The Lucy Show, which ran for six years in the 1960s. Due to cast and production changes over the years, the plot moved the series from upstate New York to California, and the focus of the plot from two divorced widows and their kids to an office-based comedy, with Lucy as secretary to banker Mr. Mooney (Gale Gordon). The show, however, was in the top ten most-watched shows for CBS during its entire run.
