The Ricardos Visit Cuba - S6-E9

Trivia: In Uncle Alberto's favorite cigar store, there is a Puerto Rico poster on the wall. Since the episode aired in 1957, it was a bit of foreshadowing promoting the migration of Cubans to Puerto Rico ahead of Fidel Castro's revolution in 1959. (00:17:11)

Ricky Has Labor Pains - S2-E19

Trivia: After Lucy's baby shower, one of the gifts she received is a baby doll in a box lying on the couch, that Ricky picks up and smiles at. The actor has a reason to smile, as this doll is the "I Love Lucy Baby" doll which came in a box that had a small drawer with accessories, and was sold in stores. (00:09:30)

Questions

Drafted - S1-E9

Question: Why would Ethel think Fred's enlisted? He wouldn't be allowed in due to his age right? I know the plot yet this thinking makes no sense.

Rob245

Answer: There is no reason. It's a just a silly plot device, typical of the era. Women characters were often portrayed as making uninformed assumptions or decisions.
