Line 21:
** Another is the scene in Hollywood when Lucy's fake nose catches on fire and she dunks it in a glass of water to extinguish it. It's notable because Lucille Ball was a very strict perfectionist who rehearsed scenes tirelessly, and that was one of the few times where a [[Throw It In]] moment wasn't thrown out.
*** It probably didn't hurt that reportedly Lucy was very concerned about the safety of a lit wick so close to her face, and figured better not push her luck with a second take.
* [[Unintentional Period Piece]]: Some unintentional examples really ''really'' scream "[[The Fifties]]":
** The candy factory showing Lucy and Ethel working, handling food, ''without'' gloves. That would ''not'' happen today.
** Almost any mention of money. Occasionally a joke simply doesn't work anymore thanks to inflation completely ruining the frame of reference. It's hard to understand Ricky getting angry at Lucy for spending so much money on something since, at this point, everything on the show sounds incredibly cheap.
* [[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]]''.
