The Indian Show - S2-E24

Corrected entry: While Fred, Ethel and Ricky are doing their number the shadow of the boom mike can be seen on the wall with the curtains leading to the backstage area.

Correction: When Ricky, Fred, and Ethel are rehearsing their number, and also during their actual performance of the song "Pass That Peace Pipe", there is no shadow of the boom mic visible on either of the walls with door curtains, stage left or right.

The Saxophone - S2-E5

Corrected entry: When Ricky goes to use the phone after he finds out about the fake man, he swings the wires on the phone, knocking something on the desk down. The camera goes to a man and then back to the desk, were the thing is standing back up as though it was never moved.

*BleuFever

Correction: When Ricky dials the phone to call Jule, at the musicians' union, a small object falls over beside the telephone, and then it cuts to Jule picking up the ringing phone and saying hello to Ricky, but it's not until the shot cuts back to Ricky that we see the little object is upright again, which Ricky simply did while he was offscreen.

Super Grover

Correction: It can hardly be considered strange or in any way noteworthy that a fictional edition of a magazine referenced in a television programme would contain articles and other features that fail to correspond to the real-life edition of the same magazine. That's why it's fictional.

Lucy Gets Ricky on the Radio - S1-E32

Visible crew/equipment: At the start, after Fred and Ethel walk in, when Lucy and Ethel walk away from the kitchen shutters carrying things, the stage microphone and stand can be seen at the right side of the screen. (Later in the episode, when Lucy and Ricky appear in the quiz segment an identical microphone is on stage with them). (00:00:35)

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.
