Here’s your chance to see the Ricardo’s and the Mertzes like never before. Fans of I Love Lucy will be treated to another colorized presentation of two classic episodes on CBS tonight. The I Love Lucy Superstar Special may just be an elaborate repackaging of two 60-year-old black-and-white sitcom episodes, now meticulously colorized and shown back-to-back without a pause. But anything Lucy related remains a gold mine for CBS, even six decades later, and the May 17 special will probably not be an exception as reported by Movie Fone. Both episodes will be the debut of their colorized versions. At 7 p.m. central standard time tonight, CBS will air the I Love Lucy Superstar Special featuring the classic 1955 episode “L.A. At Last!” and the 1957 episode “Lucy and Superman.”

Yup. Even I thought it was funny, watching it at the age of six.
I thought he was hilarious. He looked so funny back then.
Why? I mean why colorize them?
