Mistakes

After driving all day, the Ricardos and Mertzes stop by a run-down diner that serves only stale cheese sandwiches, then end up there again only to spend the night in their one motel room. While they're all in their beds, the vibration of the nearby train causes the Ricardo's bed to shakily slide towards the Mertzes and then back again. The wire attached to the Ricardo's bed is visible. See more...

Lucy Fakes Illness (series 1)

When Ricky puts a green light bulb in Lucy's room, it causes her to think she has turned green. When she looks at Ricky and Fred, they look green to her as well, but Ricky and Fred claim that they do not look green to each other, so Lucy believes that she's "looking at the world through green eyeballs." Ethel is not trying to deceive Lucy, but when she returns to the room she only comments on Lucy looking green. But she should also have seen that Ricky and Fred looked green, and thus been able to expose the ruse. [Since Ethel was not in on conning Lucy, Fred said to Ricky that Ethel was going to have to get the "Go-Bloos" too. Later, he made reference to Ethel being in bed sick with the "Go-Bloos".]

Ricky's Life Story (series 2)

The issue of Life magazine shown was the May 11, 1953 issue. In the episode, Lucy talks about the pictures of Ricky that began on page 43 but in real life, page 43 had only an editorial. [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.]
