I’ve been watching the show all my life (I’m 31) and I’ve NEVER noticed this lol. My mind is blown.

@calebdurham1551 4 года назад

Also in the 1955 episode, “First Stop,” Ethel claims they have a bed just like the one in the shack and every night for years she has to button Fred to the bed. But when we saw the bedroom in the episode mentioned, they slept in twin beds.

@stellagirl7625 3 года назад

You know, it's funny, I have seen episodes over and over for years, it never gets old. But, I have never seen a lot of things you talk about or mention. That is why I love you and your station so much! I believe it is the many and long commercials these days. When I was little (I am 62 years young), there was 1 commercial. You had to hurry if you had to go to the bathroom. And we usually made ice cream or popcorn before the movie/show started. I have the DVD of all the episodes. Now I'm excited to watch it and see all I've missed. As for my comment, I think they created the set according to the script. Back then nobody paid much attention to detail. We were so entertained by the show that bloopers weren't even thought of. Kind of like when you got your first cellular phone, nothing else mattered because you didn't know any difference. Another great one Rick! Thank You!!!!

The Mertzes' "ice box" is actually an early refrigerator. The round thing on the top is the compressor.

@daviddean5606 6 лет назад

compressor and coils, which are now hidden behind & underneath

@scottmargolin4343 6 лет назад

Jerry DiCairano Yes, those were called "Monitor Top" refrigerators, and the compressors came in spheres or cake-like shapes.

@billolsen4360 5 лет назад

Scott Margolin The refrigerator looks like something out of the 1920's....I always understood that people wanted that "monitor top" back in the day so they could prove to their friends they had an actual electric unit and not just an icebox.

@christophertsiliacos8958 5 лет назад

It was called the "Monitor-Top" because of its resemblance to the gun turret on the ironclad warship USS Monitor commissioned by the Union Navy on February 25, 1862 at the cost of $275,000.

@robt5818 5 лет назад

Yes, I was just about to say this. It is a fridge.

@SymphonyBrahms 3 года назад

It amazes me that some people don't know that the Ricardo's originally lived on the fourth floor above the Mertz's, but then later moved to an apartment on the third floor next door to the Mertz's. It was in the third season of the show, and the episode was called "The Ricardo's Switch Apartments". A real I Love Lucy fan would know that.

@alisontopalian8592 2 года назад

Yes after little Ricky came. Lucy wanted a bigger apartment. And they switched

@tomleeds1966 6 лет назад

Rick - Just wanted to tell you I just found you yesterday and I am loving your videos on behind the scenes - Its great- as a huge fan of Lucille Ball - and after meeting her in the late 80's before she passed away. I am so grateful for what you are doing here. Like I said huge fan been collecting stuff on Lucille Ball since I was 13 yrs old. now I'm 52 - SOOOOO BIGGGGG Cheers to you.

@dianetheisen8664 2 года назад

@kennethbjorkmann8517 6 лет назад

The "mystery door" in the Mertz's apartment (Lucy's new furniture episode) has mystified me for years. I always wondered how there could be two corridors outside the Mertz's apartment. In all future episodes, the window returned to its original place. A glaring blooper from the set crew, to be sure. Very strange when you consider how consistent the show was with other details. The creators of "I Love Lucy" never knew we'd be analyzing all these things over 60 years later!

@ceil5001 6 лет назад

Kenneth Bjorkmann Wasn't it a closet in the episode "Madam X" when Ethel checked it for Fred's gray suit..?

@kennethbjorkmann8517 6 лет назад

Yes, you may be correct. Or else it could have been part of the wall in which the window was originally located. At any rate, we never see this mystery door again....only for this one episode! Very strange.

@davidbrown8303 6 лет назад

If it was real life you would think the landlord would have the biggest and most well furnished apartment in the building. This is something I wondered about since I was old enough to. Thank you it's wonderful information.

Please keep them coming!

@amb817 6 лет назад

How in the world did I never notice this before lol. Great catch Rick! All I can think of now is Lucy screaming when Ricky catches her haha. Cracks me up every time

@mangot589 4 года назад

Also, in the episode when they are on the road, and stop at that ‘inn’, the Mertz’ say they have a “bed just like that at home’, which is a double bed. In their apartment, they have twin beds.🤷‍♀️.

@42bettyb 6 лет назад

thank you so much for all your vids Rick..i watch Lucy every morning..even after all these years, i am still entertained by it..BTW, the Mertz's lived next door, upstairs and i believe also downstairs from the Ricardo's during the course of the show....

@palafox2237 6 лет назад

Yes! - thank you. I recall downstairs.

@dondevine8655 4 года назад

Well done!! Loved I Love Lucy! I know much of the dialogue! I do recall also perhaps when the Ricardo’s moved, they lived above/below one another, not side by side. The noise episodes?

@scottlabissoniere1265 6 лет назад

Great presentation again Rick! I noticed this many times too. I always thought they could have done a better job on the set for the Mertzes apt. but I guess they did not want it to upstage the Ricardo's. There are numerous inconsistencies also in the general positioning of the 2 units in relation to each other too. I find this so interesting!

@jeffy4368 6 лет назад

Great video, its weird tht in the episode they were next to each other, cause if i remember the Mertizes lived under the ricardos in the episode Breaking The Lease

@robertc7896 6 лет назад

It could be because the Ricardos move into a larger apartment on a different floor 3 or 4 seasons in (simultaneously with the filming being moved to another studio). So you'll find them living on the same floor as the Mertzes as well as on another floor depending on the position in the series of the episode. Unless, of course, it's a continuity error.

@ramotcontrol 6 лет назад

In Season 2, after the birth of Little Ricky, the Ricardos move from the 4th floor (above the Mertzes) to 3B (later 3D) on the third floor next to the Mertzes. "The Ricardos Change Apartments" "Lucy Tells the Truth"

@ricknineg 6 лет назад

Check out the number of the apartment in Changing Apts right before Fred moves in the last piece of furniture....Blooper Alert. :) 3B to 3D haha

The episode "Vacation From Marriage" was about changing the scenery of their married lives. Lucy has pointed out how predictable their lives are; saying and doing the same routine every day for their entire marriage. She wanted to break the ritual, to make things more interesting. There was no fight between them.

@robertc7896 6 лет назад

Absolutely. The Motel episode is such a classic. But it couldn't have happened like that given that the Mertzes had twin beds at home.

@toonrog9957 6 лет назад

Yes I to have seen that rest stop episode and that part of ethel and fred kills me with laffs alla time.....the writers and desi arnez did a great thing in spotlighting those two characters from those two fine and under rated actors. IMHO....and they should have done alot more of those spot light the secondary characters....oh well

@ms.lesarenay9450 6 лет назад

That's the first thing I thought of when I saw that ethel and fred had to separate beds. She said "lucy, how bout you let fred and I take the bed"...and then later she says "our mattress is just like that at home". I've been watching lucy for about 25yrs and that popped up instantly. Plus I never realized fred and ethels kitchen was bigger than lucy and ricky's.

@teresasmith7210 6 лет назад

I Love Lucy is one of my favorite shows of all time! I own every single episode on dvd separated by season. They do have "special features" on every dvd and show any bloopers that where caught on each show...there where very few , especially when you consider that all the episodes where taped live without any do overs. I have to congratulate you though...this was not on the box set nor did I pick up on it! Which is rare because I know practically Everything about this show! Thanks for sharing! Good Work!

On Lost in Space, the interior off the Jupiter 2, there was a door on th back wall thst was used as a storage room for the first two years of show. In the third season, this same door would also serve as the entrance to the "space Pod" which was never there for the first two years.

@Marz5004 6 лет назад

@andyitsme1358 6 лет назад

It makes sense that the Mertzes and the Ricardo’s apartment were on the same floor because originally their apartments were directly on top of each other. Then, when little Ricky was born they move downstairs to a larger apartment, therefore it would make sense that their two apartments would be next to each other.

@caralynk6291 6 лет назад

@brianrebmann676 6 лет назад

As always great video full of interesting facts. Thanks for your hard work and effort. This was obviously a blooper but it also served the plot to have a door there as opposed to a window. What I always enjoy about I love lucy is all of the light harted, iconic moments. Btw, I love to see a History of video on DesiLu Studios on your channel at some point; just an idea for for future content.

@aknsd2009 6 лет назад

@dantebernardini428 5 лет назад

Another thing. If you remember on the trip to CA, on their first stop they stayed in a cabin and Ethel states that they would stay in the full sized bed because they have been sleeping in one for years, but the beds in their apt are two twin sized beds. That's a little inconsistent. The inconsistencies are all over the place on this show, but back then, there were no "re-runs" and they didn't really need any continuity because who would notice?

@jaygatz4335 Год назад

In the "El Break-o The Leas-o" episode, the Mertzes live below the Ricardos, and suffer falling plaster on their heads after a jam session from Ricky's band. Also, in most apartment buildings, there's a similarity between units. The Mertzes look as though they live in a different building. No bricks on the wall, an alcove with twin cupboards, etc.

@misstee9453 6 лет назад

nailed it again thanks Rick😍

@palafox2237 6 лет назад

Thanks for your videos - very enjoyable. The episode where Lucy & Ethel were pushing the washer back & forth always messes me up. The Mertzs lived below Ricky & Lucy. Several episodes had Fred banging on his ceiling, aka the Ricardos’ floor. For instance in the episode where the Mertzs left a get-together in Ricardos apartment after they had been enjoying the piano. Ricky continued to play the piano after the Mertz's left to go to bed, and Fred starts banging on his ceiling to get them to quiet down. Anyone remember more that inferred the Mertzs apartment was downstairs?

@LeeMastr 5 лет назад

As Ricky would say: "ay-ay-ay." They lived on the 4th floor and then moved to a larger apartment on the 3rd floor after Little Ricky was born. The episode is called "The Ricardos Change Apartments." Imagine that!

@davecrowther8978 5 лет назад

Hi Rick- I too caught the refrigerator and wall hangings in the Mertz kitchen too. From out on the balcony, those things changed. But I also caught one that you missed. From inside the Mertz kitchen, look out the open door before Lucy enters. The end of the balcony has an entire wall that is wood covered (brick covered on the outside around the door). Later when the Ricardos and Mertzes are haggling over the washing machine, there is glimpse of the wall at the end of the balcony. It is now brick covered (no wood). It is obviously two different sets that were not coordinated with each other.

@karenlittle5125 2 года назад

The refrigerator in Fred and Ethel’s apartment is actually an older version of Lucy and Ricky’s… They were smaller because if you notice on top of the refrigerator that kept the refrigerator cold so that’s why the refrigerator was itself was smaller and before that it had to be packed with ice to keep cold before they came up with the device to keep the refrigerator and freezer cold

@jendesign5537 6 лет назад

Hi Nick Great video! You are absolutely correct. The episode where Lucy buys Ethels birthday present and hides it in his apartment does show a couch against that wall where the window is. It also shows a closet on the wall to the right where the hallway window is I believe. It’s the episode that causes Lucy and Ethel to get into a fight over the gift Lucy picked out for Ethel. One of the most Hilarious episodes of all. Love your channel soooooo........much!

@ricknineg 6 лет назад

Thanks so much Jen! Thats sweet

@rickloera9468 4 года назад

The episode where Lucy buys Ethel's birthday present gets hacked up to fit more commercials. The part where Ethel opens the present in front of Lucy is shortened by half. Wish they would either play the show in its entirety or cut from another part. The way it's cut almost makes that scene not make sense.

@dianetheisen8664 2 года назад

@@rickloera9468 Antenna 📡 TV is notorious for doing that! I absolutely 💯 % Hate that. It's the same with Bewitched. And you're right as far as the 'editing' goes. Entire integral scenes are cut ✂️ for stupid commercials that, if you didn't already know what was cut, you'd be lost.

@MrVidaeverdade 6 лет назад

Something else about this door that doesn't make sense is, remember, Lucy's going through that door in order to get to the door to her own kitchen. But in "Never Do Business with Friends," we already saw that to get to the Mertz's apartment from the Ricardo's kitchen back door, Lucy would enter the Mertz's apartment from the Mertz's kitchen doorway (the back door that opens onto the shared balcony). And that's on the far opposite side of the Mertz's apartment from where this living room door is.

Hi Rick.. just two LITTLE minor notes on your comments.. 1.) The Mertzs's "icebox" as you call it is truly a refrigerator, granted, a very old-fashioned one that was popular in the 1920s and '30s, but, a refrigerator just the same. The motor was on top of the frig (unlike the kind made after WWII with the motor on the bottoms) and the cold air swirled around the food from the top down. and 2.) the "dresser" as you call it between the beds is called a night stand. A dresser is taller, wider and has several more drawers in it.

The Mertz's had a refrigerator, not an ice box. On top of the fridge are the condenser coils that are now flattened out and cover the back. That is a classic old refrigerator, the most classic is the GE monitor top.

@SallySallySallySally 6 лет назад

The episode where Ricky brought his band to rehearse in their apartment just to annoy Fred & Ethel implied that their apartment was downstairs, under the Ricardos. In fact, the final punchline is where Fred walks into their apartment with a chandelier over his head (the vibration having knocked it off the ceiling.) So that's a continuity error from the episode where the washing machine is being slid across the balcony. Many other episodes have lines in the script with the words 'upstairs' and 'downstairs' too when referring to their relative locations. Second, the "ice box" is, in fact, an electric refrigerator. Very early models had the cooling coils on the top. Enjoyed this. Thanks.

I just watched the Connecticut episode where Lucy buys all the furniture with Mary Jane Croft and when Lucy calls them to help her, I notice the Mertz apartment looks much nicer than it did in earlier episodes. Also, I have been watching I Love Lucy since 1967 and just noticed a TV Guide magazine with Lucy and Desi on the cover in the episode Breaking The Lease from Season 1 when Lucy is packing up the Ricardos items. It's sitting on the coffee table. You can see it the best right when the scene opens. After that it's a little harder to tell. The photo on the TV Guide cover is the one where Desi is wearing a straw hat and Lucy has her early open mouthed surprised "O" look.

rick nineg: Also if you didn't notice the scene after they finished the Mertz's apartment and Lucy and Ethel were sitting in Lucy & Ricky's apartment you can see little feathers floating down from where Fred turned on the fan and blew feathers everywhere.

You always had to suspend belief for I Love Lucy- the apartment situation, Ricky being a band leader but hardly ever working, but the one show that bugged me was the one where they tried to live like pioneers and that bread came out of the oven and was about 10’ long. Even as a child I thought why would they think that could happen. Otherwise the series was hilarious

@dianetheisen8664 2 года назад

I saw that episode the other day, and I always thought the same thing. But I still laughed.

@jacobgraham6314 Год назад

It makes sense to me in a slapstick way. Put too much yeast in your bread dough? Of course it'll come out 10 feet long! What does kinda bug me now though, is that you can see a separate "pan" under the entire length of the loaf that could never have fit in the oven. I'm aware it's most likely the platform the prop bread was pushed on from the other side of the set wall, but still 😅

Rick that is a very old 1st generation residential refrigerator. That thing on top that looks like a stack of plates is in fact the cooling coil fins and in the center of it is the compressor. Very common until General Electric introduce the first refrigerator with rounded corners and The compressor on the bottom and cooling coils on the back of the refrigerator in 1930s.

I’ve notice bloopers before. Didn’t think much of them because I realize it’s a 50s show and everything was filmed right next to each other. Walls were change out, doors, windows, furniture etc... I like it the way it is. I’m a big fan of I Love Lucy.. stop trying to kill it.

I never noticed the window 🪟/door in the Mertz's apartment. Good eye 👁 Rick! I always wondered, and still do, why the Mertz's apartment was so small compared to the Ricardo's. They were the landlords, after all.

Rick, the first generation refrigerator is referred to as a "turret top." These were first generation design amd a huge improvement from ice boxes when the ice man stopped by regularly to deliver a block of ice. No electricity, simply an insulated box with a drip pan on the bottom.The kids in the household usually garnered the pan emptying duty.Bet you can figure out how that turned out occasionally.Turre tops were a big step up for sure and lasted for decades.

Thanks for that interesting knowledge. Always love learning!

You want to see an ice box in a fifties show just watch the Honeymooners

Hey Rick. I'm pretty sure the mertzes had a refrigerator and that's not an ice box. It's one of the first refrigerators where the cooling coils were on the top of the refrigerator as you could see in the video. Really enjoyed your work. There is a lamp and one of the mertzes shots of their apartment. A black metal lamp with gold band around the shade and I have that lamp. A friend of mine gave me it from a retirement home when someone died. I often wonder if it's the exact lamp lamp

There is another inconsistency, in the episode where they travel to Hollywood and stop at the roadside dinner. That night Fred and Ethel traded beds. After tucking Fred in Lucy asked you do that every night? It's a DOUBLE BED. But in the bedroom they're Single beds.

@ricknineg 6 лет назад

Maybe they switched the singles to a double right after

I know that this is an old video, so it doesn't actually matter... BUT.... that wasn't an "ice box." That was a vintage 1920s ish, GE refrigerator. What you see in that episode was a GE "The Monitor Top" electric refrigerator. An "ice box" was just that. It was a box that looked similar to this, but no condenser on the top as was in the kitchen here. The ice boxes had a space to put actual ice in it, that was delivered, usually, once a week or so. But this was one of the first electric fridges made by GE. They were crazy expensive too. Back in that time, the first ones cost around $560 (or so) which in today's money, is approx. $7,000.

The Ice Box at 2:15 is a 1920`s Frigidaire! Actual Refrigerator Electrically operated and very popular during that time! General Electric, Westinghouse also made these Refrigerators and Freezers in the early 1920`s to the early 1930`s when the more standard Refrigerators were produced! A Friend of mine still uses one Just like it! IT WORKS AWESOME! The Top that looks like Plates stacked on top of each other is the Radiator or Condenser (I forgot wich) If You ever heard 1920`s Music! Lyrics, I Collect 1920`s and 1930`s Records, You will here in some songs When a Boy or Girl gives a X Lover a cold shoulder! ie" Girl gives the cold shoulder, The Lyrics would be "She Gave Me The Frigidaire" ! Your Programs are FANTASTIC, And FUN!

I always found it odd the Ricardo's lived in this Brownstone and apparently were the best heeled tenants. The owners, the Mertzes seemed like the poor relations.

@dianetheisen8664 2 года назад

I agree.
