First Stop - S4-E14
Visible crew/equipment: While Lucy and Ricky are lying in the sagging mattress "canoe", when the train passes and their bed rolls towards the bunk bed, the end of the set wall is visible at the right side of the screen. (00:17:30)
First Stop - S4-E14
Revealing mistake: After the cheese sandwich experience at Skinner's diner, when Lucy takes the wheel and they all drive off heading to Cincinnati, the Pontiac's glass windshield and rearview mirror are gone, and they're gone again when they end up back at that diner the second time. (00:09:20 - 00:10:35)
First Stop - S4-E14
Visible crew/equipment: After driving all day, the Ricardos and Mertzes stop by a run-down diner then end up spending the night in their shared cabin. While they're all in their beds, the vibration of the nearby train causes the Ricardos' bed to shakily slide towards the Mertzes and then back again. The wires attached to the Ricardo's bed are visible, coming from the hole at the bottom of the left wall, and the leg at the foot of the bed is set in a track attached to the floor, which keeps the bed on course.
First Stop - S4-E14
Continuity mistake: In this episode, Fred and Ethel claim that the bed they are sleeping in is just like the one they have been sleeping on for years. It is double bed with a big sag in the middle. However in an earlier episode "Vacation from Marriage" they show Lucy and Ethel in the the Mertz's bedroom and they have twin beds.
First Stop - S4-E14
Continuity mistake: When Ricky stops the car and backs up trying to locate Aunt Sally's, Lucy gets out of the car wearing a coat and a pantsuit underneath, but in the exterior shot she's wearing a skirt set when she walks over to the shed to read the sign. (00:03:50)
First Stop - S4-E14
Revealing mistake: When the bed Lucy and Ricky are in moves as a train goes by look real close and you can see the wheels on it to help move it across the set piece.
Suggested correction: Not necessarily an error. My bed frame is on wheels.
First Stop - S4-E14
Visible crew/equipment: The gang stop at the roadside diner was obviously shot in-studio as the bottom seam is quite visible behind the car, and the backdrop shakes a little when Lucy opens the car door.
First Stop - S4-E14
Other mistake: When the Ricardos and Mertzes arrive the first time at One Oak Cabins and Cafe the full moon is amid the tops of the trees. When they arrive the second time the full moon is in exactly the same location amid the tree tops as the first time they arrived. Fortunately, hours later when they make their sneaky escape from the cabin and return to their car the moon is no longer in view.
First Stop - S4-E14
Deliberate mistake: When they are counting the yards to Aunt Sally's pecan pralines, they count down 300 yards, 200 yards, 100 yards so fast they would have to have been speeding pretty fast to go hundreds of yards within seconds.
