Line 15:
*** Almost the entire plot was [[Recycled Script|reused for an episode]] with Pepito replaced by a considerably ''less'' creepy clown.
* [[Real Life Relative]]: As mentioned, Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz really were married for more or less the entire length of the series.
* [[Rerun]]: As mentioned, the show's creators invented this trope.
** And made a damn ''fortune'' off it. The network didn't know how much money could be made off of the reruns, and so they gave all the rights to Lucy and Desi. Enough for them to run their own major studio empire and be the executives in charge of shows like ''[[Gunsmoke]]'', ''[[Mission Impossible]]'', ''[[The Untouchables]]'', and ''[[Star Trek]]''. Lucille and Desi's family still makes royalties off the show, and considering it's never been out of syndication, well...
** Lucy has been quoted to say "We figured we couldn't lose. We'd ether make money off the deal, or at least we'd have the best set of home movies in the world."
* [[What Could Have Been]]:
** "Lucy Goes to Scotland" would have aired in full color, if not for CBS' inability to afford color film. The episode was later colorized in 2007, as a bonus feature for a complete series DVD set of ''I Love Lucy'' and ''[[The Lucy-Desi Comedy Hour]]''.
