Lucy Misses the Mertzes - S6-E16
Other mistake: When Ricky and Lucy go down to the main floor of their new home to 'inspect' for burglars after hearing a noise, the outside wind is loud and howling, yet the trees outside the bay window do not move, indicating this was shot in a studio.
25th Jun 2025
Visible crew/equipment: The studio carpet lines are quite visible in the "hotel hallway" as Lucy and Ricky sneak out the opposite doors from each other.
25th Jun 2025
Visible crew/equipment: Shadows of the dolly are very obvious moving about the car as Lucy, Ethel, and the lady driver settle for the night.
28th May 2025
Visible crew/equipment: The studio 'wallpaper lines' are very visible as Ricky "exits" the screen on horseback.

The Ricardos Are Interviewed - S5-E7
Visible crew/equipment: Toward the beginning mid part, when Fred and Ethel are down in their apartment, the camera is pulled back too far, revealing the carpet "lines" of the studio set and dark shadows in the upper right corner from the stage lights.
28th Apr 2025
Continuity mistake: When Lucy, disguised as the Agent, leaves Mr. Reilly's office for the last time, she suddenly reappears on his balcony overlooking the flowers as he gives dictation to his secretary. When she'd have had to venture out of a window from another part of the office elsewhere. Purely a sight gag for the show, no less.
26th Mar 2025
Other mistake: When Lucy responds to the money matter about her hair care, she states, "I can be a thin redhead or a fat brunette," when her real-life natural hair colour was blonde (later dyed to enhance her film career).
Suggested correction: Lucille Ball was naturally blonde. Lucy Ricardo was a brunette. This is, at best, trivia.
19th Jan 2025
Revealing mistake: The scenery 'lines' are quite visible on the backdrop as Ricky practices his swing, with Fred indicating this was shot in-studio.
2nd Jan 2025
Character mistake: After Ethel chooses the ladies who'll play instruments for their own orchestra, Fred enters the Ricardo apartment with muffs over his ears as off-key plucky piano is heard in the background, indicating Ethel is playing very badly, when in all prior episodes she played fluently for any of their show warm-up numbers.
23rd Nov 2024
Lucy Has Her Eyes Examined - S3-E10
Other mistake: When the eye doctor has Lucy repeat the same letters on the eye chart that she claims Ricky got all wrong, she repeats the same letters out loud, then moves closer to the eye chart and repeats the same letters out loud, then pauses in error when she read them all off correctly: P E C F D.
15th Nov 2024
Equal Rights - S3-E3
Factual error: While dining out, Ricky proceeds to shave with his electric razor plugged in on the floor by the table. Purely a studio convenience, not reality; strictly for laughs.
6th Nov 2024
Other mistake: When Lucy tosses the umbrella off the balcony during the Mexican serenade, Ricky somehow doesn't appear to hear it hitting the floor during the pause and keeps on singing. (00:23:30)
11th Aug 2024
Vacation from Marriage - S2-E6
Other mistake: The camera jostles badly when Lucy steps up on the board to cross the plank.
12th Mar 2024
Continuity mistake: At times Ricky wears his gold wedding band, and other times - especially at the Tropicana - it is missing from his finger.
Suggested correction: So he took it off while performing. I googled images of Desi and Lucy and you can see he wore a wedding band in real life. Therefore, taking it off while filming would have been a deliberate choice. It's only a mistake if the band appears and disappears within a scene.
10th Mar 2024
The Adagio - S1-E12
Character mistake: Lucy turns in for the night in full makeup and lipstick, instead of washing up.
10th Mar 2024
The Adagio - S1-E12
Visible crew/equipment: Crew member shadow is visible at the foot of Ricky's bed near the end.
