- I LOVE LUCY!--Major Blooper in These TWO Episodes That You Probably Never Noticed!
I noticed this was years back but I have seen many comments about it and some of you have caught it. But I wanted to dive deep into this topics and talk about how they could have made this HUGE error. Let's take a look and also laugh together!

I mentioned the building ledge in the comments on your video of the morphing apartment roof. Granted Fred was cheap one could make an argument the city forced him to make upgrades. Thus the nicer trim. We could also argue the ledge had broken off or wore away in places and he had to repair it. The drain pipe is still there
I will pin your comment to the top of this video! Thanks for that!
@@ricknineg coolness. Another huge blooper you may want to cover is in the episode "The Black Eye" Fred comes rushing back to the building after he realizes he signed his name instead of Ricky's to the card with the flowers. His hair is all askew and he has a flower in his lapel. After telling Ethel he is going to turn down the heat he heads out. Next scene shows him entering the Ricardo apartment. Not only is his hair neatly combed but he is missing the flower. Oops on continuity
Yeah but the building 's bricks are a complete different size. Earlier show bricks are much smaller. What did Fred tear down the whole building and re build it? Lol
@@tammiemcwilliams4259 going with my theory, here in New England where I grew up, I remember commercials for a company called "New England Brick face" Essentially this company would come and redo the side of your house or business in a brick, stucco or stone like covering that looked real. One could infer Fred hired their services, the larger brick look was less expensive and now we have an explanation. I still think if our theories are correct or close to correct, Fred still had to shell out a lot of dough even by 1950s Manhattan standards to make the apartment up to code, which I have a suspicion it wasn't.
@@werewolfantipaladin He could have lost the flower rushing to & fro & run his hand through his hair.
"And they call ME Superman!" The greatest final line in sitcom history.
That made laugh for hours!!!
I am glad you have made this series a life long study.
Upgrade the building??? Fred's too cheap for that!!!! LOL
Well, perhaps that's why he was SO desperate to want to rent out that empty apartment...
He wanted to rent the empty apartment ss he was losing money if it wasn't rented.
Remember he & Ethel did own the building but still had to pay property taxes.
Come on now.
Fred was cheap but he was right on there!
...and they call ME Superman!
HAHAHA!!, that was HALARIOUS when Superman said that to Ricky after Ricky said he was married to Lucy for years!!! That SHOW WAS ONE OF THE FUNNIEST YRS AGO AND IT STILL IS!!!
Fred was something of a penny pincher, so he probably wouldn't bother with adding ledges! Great catches, Rick! :-)
With severe upgrades spending money though possibly receiving a tax right off Fred would have to raise the rent then people would be saying the same thing hi g.
Look at things the side of the landlord.
He did let the Ricardo's go against the no pet claus.
But other than ensnts not having a pet and wanting one could have protested.
I didn't understand one thing Fred stated though. He said he turned his back when Little Ricky had pet gold fish...what was wrong with that? They don't make noise or a mess though considered pets what was the problem?
Desi actually recorded the episodes so they could be rerun
He was ahead of his time
Desi Arnaz was a GENIUS & innovator on so many levels. Still not getting his fair share of "props".
I 💝 Desi & Lucy 💕💕💕💕
Although this was not necessarily intentional, there are two important shifts Desi Arnaz playing Ricky Ricardo caused in American culture via his accent and speaking in Latin American Spanish. The first is that countless Spanish speaking viewers across the nation had for the first time a lead character with whom they could relate, and they did.
The second is a bit more subtle since it was a running gag. This is the constant mockery and/or inability to understand what Ricky said in English. He endures this with patience and a sense of humor. However, the obvious reality is that Ricky (and Desi Arnaz) is bilingual, both idiomatically and formally enough to conduct business, while the other three never even tried to learn Spanish. They simply make fun of him. This is why Lucy is so lost in the episode when his mother comes to visit and she has no idea what is being said until he shows up and translates. The only word she gets is henna and the joke's on her because she'd lied about her hair color.
One last thing, now that I think of it. I don't know if it was Desi's idea alone, I think he came up with it and the production team instantly liked it. But, boy, this really was a stroke of genius. The title. Most shows either had a generic title or, if the lead was well known, the title was The Star's Name Show. That's how fans referred to it. But by titling the show I Love Lucy, any time a fan said the title, they said I Love Lucy and that soon became true for them as well. Imagine the difference if it had been called The Adventures of Lucy And Ricky, or The Ricardos. Desi Arnaz deliberately left his own name out. Lucille Ball's subsequent shows without him had titles based on the original Lucy character as well as her real fame in her real name, but had nothing to do with any part of the first iteration other than her being a flake. The titles reflect that. The Lucy Show, Here's Lucy. Without Desi to play off, they were pretty formulaic, just like their titles.
Also Susie, because of tinting when they were still filming in black and white, ALL the characters hair could have been "henna" color at all!
(you can thank Curly of the stooges for THAT one, nyuck, nyuck,...sorry, lol)
I am not sure you are s curate there. Desi according to the movie negotiated for the series & was given them with the idea "they were junk."
I hired when it was found out to be revered in everlasting reruns 'they were kicking their own as-es.
@@eloiseockert6561 I’m not sure what movie you are referring to
Back in those days they were just recording just to use as a backup not for reruns
Design was the first to use the three camera technique so they would get better shots of everything and would not have to do a scene as many times. They could get things in one take He also used a more expensive grade film so everything was better quality
When He was negotiating they didn’t really care when He wanted the film they thought it was junk and that’s why most old tv shows were destroyed
Paul Winchell wanted to buy his old show from metro media but after negotiations metro told him they were destroyed
Paul thought metro did it on purpose but more likely the people in the archives just thought is was junk
Funny! Cheap old Fred making upgrades to the apartment building 😉
Amazing how bricks suddenly turn into cinder blocks, isn't it?
Fred probably saw it as cheaper so he had the whole building replaced with Cinder Block
Hey Rick! I'll bet back then they would have never thought that one day people could sit in their homes and re-watch episodes anytime, frame by frame!
Cheryl Berry And be as negative as society seems, today. The greatest generation wasn’t going to sweat the small stuff, ever; after surviving WWII.
Great job Rick I have seen These episodes multiple times and never spotted that. Have a great memorial weekend.
The Superman episode is one of my favorites but I never noticed this big exterior building change. I agree, Fred doing extensive building upgrades is pretty funny. Great video! Thanks!
I feel people were too hard on Fred. At times he did seem cheap but there were times he wasn't. He did purchase a new washing machine for Ethel. He also did buy her a large box of candy for her (with Ricky) at the end
of the chocolate factory episode even though both women fainted after eating all that chocolate.
There were a number of other instances as well though I can not recall right now.
And lots of meat for that freezer
The brick is totally different too. Thanks for another cool video
Your videos are always informative and entertaining. I love watching them.
Even the bricks on the wall are very different in these two episodes as well. Lol
I'm not getting how these are bloopers? They needed Lucy to do crazy stuff outside so they made another set? I thought it was somebody left a script on set during shooting of like a cup was in one shot and the it's gone.
Superman’s entrance from the kitchen to the living room is still pretty bad ass though.
It always got me that in one episode Fred asks where the cat burglar ran to and Lucy and Ethel said to the right of the front door, meaning back down the hallway. So Fred runs left. Funny as a gag but the way the apartment is laid out, he would've hit a wall, proved by this video with Lucy out on the ledge. The "brick wall" apartment could be just designed that way for small apartments and wood for the bigger apartments... Just a thought... Thanks for another informative video!
Haha Fred doing upgrades? That tightwad would cut people’s heat down during winter...lol
You guys and gals make me laugh so much! Haha
Dale Q 😂😂😂😂
rick nineg
Hey Rick all thanks goes to you for the great videos you show us...I’ve been watching I Love ❤️ Lucy for a lot longer than probably most on here (hmmm I’m old) and I’ve not caught these bloopers no matter what tv I used..one from the 60’s or the 2019...thanks 🤣😂❤️
April May
👍🏼❤️
New set. BLOOPER? No.
Superman was another show I loved growing up, so when he showed up on I love Lucy, it instantly became one of my favorite episodes.
As far as the ledge blooper, what always jumped out at me was the difference in the brick sidings. First episode, it was small, red bricks, then the next episode it is large squares of granite or something granite like.
Very different in styles.
Great videos and wonderful
Yes I noticed this year's ago. And you're right the general audience would have never figured that out when the show was first run. It is only because we have reruns (dvd) that we can figure these things out. These little tidbits makes I Love Lucy all the more interesting and indearing! Keep up the great work my friend.
endearing...
Other shows as well...
Yours is the only channel I watch regularly where I hit thumbs up
As many times I have seen those episodes. It is something I have always notice. Just like in the one country episode. Lucy said that she only knows how to play Sweet Sue on the saxophone. Where in the first apartment episode Lucy only knew how to play Glow Worm on the saxophone.
To be fair, I think when she plays Sweet Sue, Ethel mentions that it sounds like Glow Worm. I think that was an intentional in-joke, in that everything she attempts ends up sounding like Glow Worm
Rick, you're my man!!! I am 62 years old, and i thought i was the obly one catching stuff like this. Keep up the good work!!!!
Haha ... Fred was a real tight wadd. He wouldn't have spent money on an upgrade of the exterior of the building. " I Loved Luci "
Thanks rick for spending part of your holiday weekend with us Rick.
Beat me to it! :-D
I love this channel because I find other enthusiasts of I love Lucy who don't think it is stupid to basically have watched it every day of my life since I was eight...
I never noticed that before as many times as I watch these shows. And yet when a piece of furniture is sitting different I always spot it. Thank you for these vids. love your channel
Side note- the woman in the other apartment with the man was “Aunt Harriet” from another super hero series- Batman 😀
And of course the window was actually further away from the corner of building in the Superman episode, where that indentation is, is where the old window was in the older episode, so Fred would have had to have made major improvements to the building, adding a ledge, replacing the brick exterior, moving the window over a few feet, ect. Wouldn’t make sense, and George Reeves out on a ledge a few stories up? I don’t think he would have risked his life, in real life, like that either
In real life George was a former circus performer, and had no fear of heights.
Thanks for your channel and your struggles to get the best info for us.😁
Hey Rick, You seem to educate me more and more with each post you make. I totally enjoyed your latest video. I never realized (before you pointed it out) that reruns were non-existent at the time and, of course, the writers took great liberties to change whatever they wanted to change in order to adhere to that particular weeks script. Thanks for the 411.
Man that theme song is such a nostalgic trip for me watching that show as a kid man, it was reruns then in the 80s but still. Iove I love Lucy. Fantastic show
You got some splainin to do Lucy. Gawd Iove that show
Happy Memorial Day Rick(also memorial always of our veterans and veteran I Love Lucy fans!)
Why is the Superman episode in color it was originally of course in b&w?
Loved both crying wolf and Superman episodes and the differences of the ledges you pointed out.
Waiting for your promised video of Barbara Pepper.
I believe it was a special colorized episode that CBS showed either last year or year before last after the I Love Lucy Christmas Special.
Rick- another brick wall blooper you might want to check: In "Never Do Business With Friends" where the Mertzes buy the Ricardo's washing machine. 1- Watch inside the Mertz kitchen when Lucy wheels the baby in, the end wall on the outside balcony is all wood with a brick facade on the building. 2- when Lucy pushes the washing machine in front of Ethel's door, that end wall is now totally brick, like the facade, the wood wall has disappeared!
When it comes to tv production the only important thing is scripts and storylines! Everything thing else is secondary! Bloopers makes it beautifully human and entertaining! Props! Props! 😂😂😁
Looooooocey! You got some SPLAININ to do!
Not to split hairs, but 3:06 Kirk Allen was the original Superman. He portrayed him in the 1948 and 1950 movie serials before George Reeves...
McGannahan Skyjellyfetti Kirk also showed up in a episode of I dream of jeannie s2.sad he never got work.
@@thomasbinninger1355 Interesting. I never knew that...
George Reeves was the first TV Superman . And by far a better Superman and Clark Kent . And very popular with kids and adults. Also the first to be seen in flight. Not a cartoon. Many actors have played supeman. And many have done a great job. But George Reeves will always stand out because of his great protrayal of both Superman and Clark kent
McGannahan Skyjellyfetti
He also made a cameo in the 1979 Superman movie.
@@darrellmcdonad7488 Correct George Reeves was the best Superman he died on June 16 1959 unsolved mystery suicide or murder
Excellent video Rick. We all love ❤️ Lucy ☮️💕
The explanation of the building facade make sense except for one thing, cheapskate Fred Mertz would not go through all that expense.❤👍
You're right. Fred would eventurn off the heat at night so his tenants would freeze in the winter. I remember when they were in Italy and Little Ricky turned three and when Lucy called New York, her mother told her; " It's nice and warm here tonight." And Fred got mad at Mrs. Trumble for keeping the boiler on all night.
Love your channel, Rick 👍
I did notice these changes but not enough to delve into why. Nice job!
It is simple. Fred bought another building where they had a back door in the kitchen. Away Anyway, look at the brick, one season has the outside wall of the building made of the small red paving bricks. (The kind that are the start / finish line at the Indy 500.) The other has the building made of limestone blocks.
It's not just the ledge but the exterior went from bricks to blocks. That second more detailed exterior from the Superman episode may have been something Desilu had from another production and they repurposed it there.
Also, the extra ledge helped accommodate a second person, namely, Superman. In the earlier ep, it only had to hold Lucy.
I started watching your videos on Gilligan's Island. I love blooper videos. So I just subscribed. Cheers!
I never seem to notice even these blatant bloopers until they're pointed out 😄
Rick, do you have bloopers in when Lucy wins a racehorse????? i love this major blooper viedo...! Please make more, thank u.
Did you know that those 2 apple works and what's his name Frank half away? Where ever is name is they didn't get along too well, so that I will as far as Lucy, and now inhale, they stayed together until my face, my heart she took over, maybe that's why was his pride was too big he's Cuban pride, I should say.right Lucy
Quite interesting Rick. I never noticed something like the differences with the ledges. Keep up the great work!
Lucy was so beautiful, a living doll baby.
lol great catch and I love catching these things as well....but going from small typical building with small bricks to now the large stone blocks would be an impossibility in terms of a building "upgrade." There are all types of errors with the building...like the Madame X episode when Ethel comes down from the roof and Ethel catches her by peering through the front door. The angles of entry are so different on other episodes.
Rick, thank you for this! Having the entire series on DVD, I’ve watched these episodes so many times and never caught this! I’m putting it down to lack of script continuity. Certainly, as miserly as Fred Mertz was, I cannot see him spending any money to make these changes willingly! BTW: where did you get the color photos of the Superman episodes? Has it been colorized and I missed it??
Yes! I’ve noticed this recently. Great video, Rick!
Thanks Rick! I never noticed the difference in the ledges.
Perhaps at some time they moved from one apartment (or apartment building) to another, though it wasn't covered in the episodes.
To be honest, I never noticed this detail--certainly as a boy. I was too thrilled at seeing my hero on another show. If Clayton Moore and Jay Silverheels could've also made an appearance I would have been ecstatic. :)
Hey Rick! Long time since I commented on your channel especially I been very busy; “I Love” your Lucy Blooper Facts
They were already running reruns. I was a kid at the time and watched them in the morning - but my parents get to watch them a night.
Thank you 🙏
The other thing is that, the window embellishments - and just the overall size and appearance of the building - are more in keeping with a Fifth Avenue or Central Park West building, not a brownstone on East 68th Street.
Did you know that back then they had easier ways to take sits down that was basically the same apartment you can bring in and take out walls and take out windows so that’s how they did it it was the same apartment
I noticed that one, too. Another blooper for you is in the episode when then Ricardos give the Mertzes the washing machine. When it falls over the balcony, you can see the bottom of the washer like it bounced off the studio floor.
Rick....here's one for you to check out....Here are a few bloopers from the I Love Lucy episode "Lucy And The Loving Cup"..... Lucy is stuck on a subway in the evening rush hour...2 pieces of stock footage show exterior route signs for the AA 8th Ave Local...bound for 168th St/Wash Hts...back in the day....that line ran all times EXCEPT rush hours (only old time NYers would remember that)....also a passenger on the train is reading a newspaper...turned to an ad for Safeway super markets (a California based chain....there are NONE in NYC)....finally when train arrives at Flatbush Ave. and Lucy is walking on platform....she bumps into a station pillar....which starts to shake....also....stock footage was misedited....mirror imaged....car numbers backwards....motorman cabs on wrong side....etc...
George Reeves was great in this episode. His charm and energy with the kids is on full display. And that great closing line, delivered perfectly. RIP George.
Another great blooper video Rick my thought was there is no way Fred Mertz would do any type of upgrades to the building. I was surprised you did not mention Larry Mondelo's mom Madge Blake in the other apartment.....Hope to see more great videos on your channel.....Congratulation on over 36K
She was also Aunt Harriet on Batman 😊
@@atarah6898 She also played a reporter in the movie Singin in the Rain.
The change is for several reasons: storyline called for the empty apartment, and the ledge had to support more weight, weight that was consentrated, and it had to be resistant to water.
Maybe it was a stock Superman or exterior set, maybe on the back lot?
1:11 YES! When I was a kid, I got confused by that VERY thing! I wondered why their apartment kept changing back and forth!
The black and white makes the apartment seem so open and spacious- in color its chaotic. Fun to see in color, but doesn’t hold the same appeal as black and white 😍
Really enjoying your Lucy video's.
What’s even more interesting is the building went from standard brick to a much larger type of concrete block construction. Changing out a ledge would be a lot easier than rebuilding the entire building.
Hi Rick,I noticed that when watching the show. But never paid much attention to it.
You can thank Desi Arnez for reruns....cause when Lucy was going to deliver her first child she needed the time/break to bond with her newborn son, and naturally couldn't be at work! So Desi talked with the bosses and suggested to replay a few episodes to allow Lucy the recovery time she needed!
That same episode "Lucy Cries Wolf" also shows the hallway outside the Ricardo's apartment where there is a big staircase about where the entrance to that vacant apartment would be. Fiction breeds creative license in TV Land!!! Thanks Rick!
This was a great observation. And Rick you were right they did not think of syndication reruns. The biography movie 'Before the Laughter' we see Desi negotiating and asking for the negatives/film whatever and the biggies are saying ?not verbatim), you want those worthless cans of film (etc) you got them!
Desi must have had some psychic instincts!
When I saw that scene my thought was, What dopes..." And today they
are iconic!
These kind of bloopers are pretty common in older shows. I watch Hogans Heroes almost daily, so I know you will be making plenty of videos like this for that show. Thanks for the videos, they are very entertaining.
About the upgrades... um, yeah, lets not forget that we are talking about Fred "Tight Wad" Mertz here. He is one or two tiers (of 50 tiers) above slumlord.
Oh my God nice find I would have never noticed the ledge or the bricks or the details you noticed !!! But Fred make renovations? Are you kidding me? He was such a miser and so cheap he wouldn't spend a dime to make renovations. Unless of course he had to because of damage Etc so who knows. Lol
And they call me Superman best line ever
I also noticed the different appearance of the 2nd apartment's furniture and decoration. it was mixed with the tenant's before's furniture.....but made to be Lucy's. if u understand that. when they finished, and Ricky changed it, I had never seen the curtains b4 and everything was arranged and looked differently.
It was in color the second time! I didn't know they had color TV in the 50's!!
think colorized
The Lucy Meets Superman episode is one of my all time favorites! Of ALL the actors who have portrayed Superman on the big or small screen, imho, George Reeves was the best! He was also the only Superman who I really believed could fly. Christopher Reeve floated away like a helium balloon. Even with today's CGI effects, what was accomplished back in the 1950's with springboards, wires, mattresses, and a body "pan" still holds up pretty well today.
Fred would not make marble up grades. Hehehe great video sir. Keep up the great work.
Good pick up!
And also the brick size on the outside of the building is bigger and wider than the first episode mentioned.
Not only the ledge, but the size of the brick is totally different. Also, the living room window overlooks the street. The front of the building is totally flat (as we saw when Ricky bought the Pontiac and the cast spent a lot of time in the street). But in the Superman episode, the front of the building juts out in the direction of the street where the vacant apartment is. Also, on two episode, the hallway extended to the left of the front door, which would mean the hallway would go outside (the Madam X episode where Fred runs away with the bat, and The Sublease episode where Ethel walks along the hall from the left side of the front door). And another episode (actually the same episode where she lies on the exterior ledge) Lucy Cries Wolf, there is a staircase there. Lucy pouts and sits on the stairs when the thugs come down these stairs and take her to the basement. One might think that, with the popularity of the show, the continuity would be better with so many viewers and the possibility to notice these discrepancies. There are many, many discrepancies through the years.
It's obvious Christopher Reeves utilized Superman's super speed to make a ledge on the other side knowing that when he shows up Lucy would've dressed up as him and went next door and climb through that window but hang out on the ledge and stay there until he had a chance to save her. He also noticed some improvements needed to be made on the outside so he made them for Fred free of charge. I'm surprised no one else realized this.
Hey Rick, you are right, TV was still new & shows on film was new with ILL. Reruns were just starting so the writers didn't have to consider continuity issues, who'd notice??? WoW! 36,000, I'd say 50,,000 by the end of the year!! Let's be hopeful 😊🤣😗
Be sure to keep this comment in mind to see if we hit the big 50,000 sub goal! So exciting!
@@ricknineg I'll definitely keep it in mind & we'll be celebrating 50,000 by around Thanksgiving! You can hold me to that Rick 😜
I am improving and learning Scottish Gaelic and love it
Mr. Video.... another awesome video. Great story line 👍😊.
CHIEF
Love it! Tfs
Hey, Rick ... after personally watching all the I love Lucy episodes over the last 50 years for me, I love the photo stills that you post. It's a new way for me to look at I love Lucy and just to admire what Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz accomplished. Along with the great talents of Vivian Vance and William Frawley.
I have to say your great. Rick as a big Lucy fan I never gave it a thought! Please bring up more! Do you do all in the Family? And please be positive!😊
The other interesting thing is that in the b/w episode, the pipe stops at the ledge. The color episode with Superman shows the drain pipe going through the ledge & continues down the wall. 😂
There could not be another apartment where the ledge is extended because the Ricardo's kitchen was there with a window facing the same direction as the one in the living room.
The second ledge sequence may have been filmed in another studio, using an existing exterior set from another project (hence, the different details), that would allow sprinklers to be used to simulate the rain and not mess up the interior sets of the Ricardo apartment.
Rick, I think we all know Fred Mertz is too cheap to make any upgrades.
Louis Riehm. Yes 😂😂😂😂
I thought that myself. The Mertz's apartment should've been at least comparable to the Ricardo's @@MrCJ-qz9dl
And doesn't have the excuse of growing up during the Great Depression either. He would have been in his late 30's and early 40's during the depression, so his habits were full and truly already in place by then, though it probably did make the cheapness problem even worse!
This episode was so good and sweet. Lucy would do anything for her son.
Any 'good,' mother would.
The wall isn't small bricks either.
Also, if you look at the position of the front door in the empty apartment it should be in the wall that you can see when the Ricardos front door is open, and you should be able to see the front door to the other apartment. There is just a wall with a framed picture.
IT WAS ALSO GREAT TO FIND OUT SHE LOVED TO PLAY BACKGAMMON WHICH IS A FAVORITE GAME OF MINE
HAVE A GRESAT WEEKEND AND A HUGE THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING YOU DO TO KEEP LUCY'S MEMORY ALIVE. GOD'S BLESSINGS TO YOU.
GREAT WEEKEND. SORRY FOR THE ERRORS
I will never forget The day Superman Died. --- I was in Vacation Bible School class... I still believed in Santa, Easter Bunny and Tooth Fairy. But How could Superman die from being shot????
I've read it traumatized a generation of children 😥
There is a website that specializes in TV crossovers and it links all the shows it possibly can together by these crossovers. Two such are I Love Lucy and The Adventures Of Superman - which is wrong, because even though in costume and only once (in an old rerun) identified by actor name, the 'Superman' who appeared here was actor George Reeves, not the 'actual' Man Of Steel. Even in Lucy's fictional universe, he was an actor playing a role.
And now my mind is seeing Ricky as Jor-El, Lucy as Lara, and Little Ricky as Kal-El.
Lucy looking smashing at 2:25. Just hanging out. ;)
Hollywood tends to think in terms of one episode at a time and only recently have they started worrying about continuity
