Product Description |
It's a funny family feud from Desi Arnaz and the writers of I Love Lucy
Set in the swinging late 1960s, THE MOTHERS-IN-LAW centers on the laugh-filled misadventures of longtime neighbors in suburban Los Angeles who become related to each other when their children suddenly get married.
Legendary actress Eve Arden (Our Miss Brooks, Grease) stars as Eve Hubbard, the sophisticated wife of straight-laced lawyer Herbert Hubbard (Herb Rudley). Veteran comedienne Kaye Ballard plays Kaye Buell, the outspoken wife of bombastic television writer Roger Buell (Roger C. Carmel and Richard Deacon). To the dismay of their hapless husbands, the strong-willed mothers are determined to meddle in the lives of newlyweds Jerry (Jerry Fogel) and Suzie Hubbard (Deborah Walley). |

The Mothers-in-Law is one of those "You had to be there" shows, best appreciated by those who dimly but fondly remember this short-lived series. This was Desi Arnaz's last TV series as a producer. As a swan song, it's more "We're Having a Baby, My Baby and Me" than "Cuban Pete," but for a show that was hopelessly square even back in 1967 (as witness the cringe-worthy episode featuring the one-hit wonder band the Seeds, who perform said one hit, "Pushin' Too Hard"), it rates as a found treasure thanks to the crack timing and expert clowning of its stars. Show biz troupers Eve Arden and Kaye Ballard star as reserved and sophisticated Eve Hubbard and histrionic and overly emotional Kaye Buell. They are neighbors with an odd-couple friendship whose lives become further bound when their children, Eve's daughter Susie (Deborah Walley) and Kaye's son Jerry (Jerry Fogel), get married and move in to the Hubbards' garage. Arnaz did not attempt to reinvent the wheel with The Mothers-in-Law. Created and written primarily by I Love Lucy scribes Bob Carroll Jr. and Madelyn Davis, the series takes several pages from the Lucy playbook. Arden and Ballard have a Lucy-Ethel chemistry. Arnaz, who directed many of the episodes, deftly stages the ladies' slapstick shenanigans. And just as Lucy never stopped plotting to get into husband Ricky's act, so do Eve and Kaye insist on meddling in their children's lives, much to the eye-rolling annoyance of their long-suffering husbands (Herbert Rudley and Roger C. Carmel). Several episodes also manage to work in comical production numbers to showcase the cast's talents. Fan-favorite episodes include those in which Arnaz guest stars as matador Raphael Del Gado from Barcelona. Other memorable guest stars include Don Rickles, Ozzie Nelson, Paul Lynde, and a pre-All in the Family Rob Reiner. Despite being sandwiched between Disney's The Wonderful World of Color and Bonanza, The Mothers-in-Law was not a ratings smash. In season 2, Carmel left the show in a salary dispute and was replaced Darrin-style with Richard Deacon, and not even the addition of grandchildren to the family mix could save the series. The extras on this eight-disc set are impressive. Baby boomers will get a nostalgic kick out of seeing the NBC peacock unfurl its feathers in "living color," as well as period commercials. There is a newly filmed interview with the gracious Ms. Ballard, the original unaired pilot featuring Kay Cole as Susie, two failed Arnaz series pilots for The Carol Channing Show and Lands End, and solo variety show performance clips featuring Arden and Ballard. Unlike the intrusive Mrs. Hubbard and Mrs. Buell, TV buffs should welcome The Mothers-in-Law into their homes. --Donald Liebenson |

Not So Funny After All These Years |
|
I use to watch "The Mothers-In-Law" on NBC every Sunday night during its' two-season run (1967-69) and really enjoyed this show. When I got my copy I couldn't wait to see the crazy antics of Kaye Ballard and Eve Arden. However, after all these years, the show is not funny. Eve and Kay are a poor version of Lucille Ball and Vivian Vance. There just isn't much chemistry between the actors. Most of the episodes seem like they were reworked from the classic "I Love Lucy" series - the storylines just don't work like they did on Lucy. The show hasn't held up well over the years and I am having a hard time sitting through the episodes. I barely got through the first 13. I don't think I will be watching the complete set. |

It's still funny after all these years! |
|
I had such fond memories of this show and was not disappointed with the DVD. The only thing out-dated about this show is the clothes and furniture. The comedy is just as funny today as it was when I was a kid. Eve Arden and Kay Ballard are quite the team and will keep you in stiches. I highly recommend this show. |

blast from the past! |

This set is the best. Was great to see these episodes again, I felt like I was 10 years old again watching them on the old black and white tv with rabbit ears. Just one warning, after watching a few of these episodes, you will find that you can't get the the opening music theme out of your head. It stuck with me for almost 3 days. Enjoy. |

What a great series |
I remember this show from my childhood, it wasn't popular here in Australia but anything with Eve Arden was great to me ( will Our Miss Brooks, ever come out on DVD)
The quality of the transfer is fantastic and the colour great, so crisp, a first for me as we only had Black and White tv here then.
The storylines, predictable for any sitcom of the time but enough to make me laugh out loud and quite often.
Highly reccommended, I love it. |

At last the mothers-in-law is here! |
|
Its so fun to be able to see the complete series of the fantastic 60's comedy series Mothers-in-law on DVD. What I do not like is the sponsors message that is included in some episodes, and also seen in the extras section. If i buy a DVD I want it comercial free. Its fun to see them in the extras, but not in the episodes aswell. The extras are great. Still, even with comercials its a great buy! Highly recomended! |
