- TriviaAt the breakfast table, Ricky is reading a newspaper that is at least 2-1/2 years old. "The New York Daily Bulletin" "Final Edition", with main headline (top right): "Mayor Describes New Building Program to House Civic Offices"; and another headline (top left): "State Boards Investigate Fraud Charges". The same newspaper, with the same front-page photographs in the same positions, can be identified in at least four other episodes two seasons earlier: The Business Manager (1954), Lucy Cries Wolf (1954), The Matchmaker (1954), and Mr. and Mrs. T.V. Show (1954). One interesting difference is that, in 'Lucy Cries Wolf', a back-page headline - much darker than anything else on the page - apparently has been pasted on for Lucy to see while Ricky is reading his front page: "Thugs Rob Housewife", the article which provides the central idea for that episode's plot.

New Furniture (again)
The basis of this episode is a recycled one as Lucy has had more new furniture/redecorating episodes than most other shows. So the concept isn't new but it still has some truly funny parts. My problem is that during the initial conversation with her new neighbor (Betty Ramsey) Lucy initially wants to keep some of the old pieces of furniture and instead of explaining why she HAS to keep it she goes along with her neighbors advice. While setting up the deal with a furniture dealer, Betty states that she can save her 40% off retail and that trading in the old furniture would save her even more money. If Betty believed that money was of no object, what was with all the "savings" about? Since Lucy was getting a deal, why wouldn't she just say that she was on a budget? Smh...
