Trivia
I Love Lucy was the first TV show to use the three-camera filming technique. It was developed by cameraman Karl Freund and Desi Arnaz, who was the show's producer as well as its co-star. Cameras were placed center stage, stage right, and stage left. The film footage was later edited together to show the action from different angles. This method is considered standard and is still in use today. See more...

I Love Lucy (1951) - 2 mistakes in "Lucy Thinks Ricky is Trying to Murder Her"
starring Desi Arnaz, Lucille Ball, Vivian Vance, William Frawley (add more)
Lucy Thinks Ricky is Trying to Murder Her (season 1, episode 1)
Other: In the scene where Ricky tries to get Lucy to have the drink that will put her to sleep, from the audience's point of view, Lucy is on the right side behind the living room table with the altered drink on the table in front of her. Ricky is to the left with the unaltered drink in front of him. While Ricky is repeating Lucy's spinning/clapping movement, Lucy switches the glasses around. When they are done dancing, Lucy ends up behind the table to the left, with the altered glass again in front of her. Ricky points to the wall and tells Lucy, "That is the biggest spider I have ever seen!" While Lucy is examining the wall, Ricky switches the glasses back around. The unaltered glass is now in front of Lucy. She then proceeds to drink while Ricky smiles at her plan's apparent "failure". If you have watched the glasses carefully, you will realize that Ricky is actually the one who ends up with the altered drink, not Lucy.
