I Love Lucy (1951)
1 visible crew/equipment mistake in Deep Sea Fishing
Starring: Lucille Ball, Desi Arnaz, Vivian Vance, William Frawley

Revealing mistake: At the Brown Derby, when Lucy bumps into the waiter causing him to trip and spill the tray all over William Holden, we can see that the waiter's hand is taped to the bottom of the tray for the stunt to be done efficiently. (00:15:15)
Ricky Ricardo: What's the matter with you? Are you crazy or something?
Trivia: It was the first to tape before a live audience.
