I Love Lucy (1951)

Drafted - S1-E9

Plot hole: Both couples have the same group of friends and they were all invited to both going away parties planned on the same night at the same location. Isn't it likely that at least one of the main characters would have found out about the other party? But at the end, all seem surprised about the other party that was planned for them.

I Love Lucy (1951)

Desert Island - S6-E8

Continuity mistake: During the scene set in the boat there is no land seen, but in the shots outside the boat, the land is present. In the same scene Ricky is wearing a wide-collared shirt but in the location part, he is shown wearing a white T-shirt.

Continuity mistake: When Lucy and Ricky are discussing the dance at the beginning of the episode and she turns away from him after she tells him "that's all there is to it," however in the next shot she is still facing towards him.

The Fur Coat - S1-E10

Revealing mistake: When Lucy is cutting up the fake fur coat to scare Ricky, it is clear that the parts that she has to remove are already cut and just loosely sewn in place.

Lucy Wants New Furniture - S2-E28

Deliberate mistake: Lucy and Ethel try and hide the new furniture in the kitchen so Ricky won't find out about it. This in turn forces Lucy to run through the Mertz's apartment to retrieve items from her own kitchen when Ricky wants them. This is supposedly done because the furniture blocks the doorway and is wedged in place thus preventing them from using the door. However it is quite clear that there is a lot of room for the furniture to be pushed into the kitchen and not block the door. They say it is wedged on the sink but there is a lot of room on the other side by the cupboards, along the back wall.
