Yeah, I was thinking that. I kind of held off on getting I Love Lucy by season for now. I think it would be awesome if they released a mega boxset with all 6 seasons and all the lucy desi comedy hour episodes.

The Lucy and Desi Collection in May
Warner Home Video have announced the Region 1 DVD release of The Lucy and Desi Collection for 9th May 2006. Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz -- America's quintessential comic couple best known for their long-running hit TV series "I Love Lucy" -- made only three feature films together. Those films make their long-awaited DVD debut, as Warner Home Video introduces The Lucy and Desi Collection. Included are The Long, Long Trailer, Forever, Darling and Too Many Girls, available as a boxed set for $29.92 SRP. The Long, Long Trailer and Forever, Darling will be available individually for $14.97 SRP each; Too Many Girls is exclusive to the collection. DVD extra content includes vintage MGM and WB shorts, cartoons and a 1956 excerpt from the MGM Parade television series.
Too Many Girls (1940) - Its lighter-than-air plot has spoiled heiress Connie Casey (Lucille Ball) traipsing off to college while her over-protective father secretly sends four Ivy League football stars to act as her bodyguards. In no time, the football players manage to turn tiny Pottawatomie U. into a gridiron powerhouse!
Special features include:
Frances Carroll and the Coquettes [1940 WB short]
Shop Look & Listen [1940 WB cartoon]
Theatrical Trailer
The Long, Long Trailer (1954) - Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz live happily ever after as newlyweds honeymooning in "The Long, Long Trailer," directed by Vincente Minnelli. They quickly find that the interior of a moving trailer is ideal for tossing a salad--and everything else. That backing up their 40-foot, three-ton home is only a little more difficult than threading a needle wearing boxing gloves. And, that trailer-park folks are neighbourly sorts who turn the lovebirds' rig into the wrong, wrong trailer by crashing the wedding night.
Special features include:
Ain’t it Aggravatin’ [1954 MGM short]
Dixieland Droopy [1954 MGM cartoon]
Theatrical Trailer
Forever, Darling (1955) - TV's "I Love Lucy" was in its fifth season when this romp gave fans more reasons to love its stars. Desi Arnaz plays Lorenzo, who heads for wide-open spaces, along with wife Susan (Lucille Ball), to test his chemical company's new product. Of course, comedy chaos ensues built on tent-raising, forest critters, inflatable rafts and other typical elements of roughing it. There is one atypical element: the angel (James Mason) who wants to rescue their troubled union.
Special features include:
An excerpt from Episode 22 of MGM Parade with Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz [1955 TV series]

GREAT NEWS... Love the long long trailer, and had been on the radar for to long. Glad to have a date. Not sure on the slim cases and what not....I know several of the previous warner releases had shown a thing box (Lewton, peckinpah etc.) this is however the first time I have seen a slim case artwork show up
