Visible crew/equipment: When Lucy opens the closet door to show Ethel all the donated stuff for the bazaar auction, the boom mic (appears to be a double mic) dips down into view at the top of the screen (not visible in some streaming versions). (00:02:25)
Revealing mistake: When Ricky brings home the psychiatrist, in all the long shots of the living room from the time Ethel walks around the coffee table toward Fred, we can see that all four coffee table legs have been propped up on stone blocks.
Visible crew/equipment: After Ethel tells Lucy that she lives dangerously, when Lucy mentions the incident at the carnival the year before, the shadow of the moving boom mic is visible at the right, by the window. (00:01:45)
Audio problem: During various shots in the Ricardo living room one can plainly hear what appears to be the whirring of the camera.
Chosen answer: It's not known. She may have moved it to the spare room or it may be in a corner just off camera. There could be any number of reasons, though it probably took up too much room on the studio set, and it was removed, making it easier for the actors to move around.
