Satirical commentary of I Love Lucy every Friday! Here’s the info to watch ahead, plus all the WTFacts for this week. 

This Week’s Episode:

“Drafted”

Original Air Date:

December 24, 1951

This Week’s WTFacts:

• Yes, you read that right. This episode aired on Christmas Eve. It is not Christmas themed. At the very end, they add a seasonal “surprise,” and things get weird.

• When Ricky hums a lullaby near the end, it’s from a song Desi co-wrote in 1951, called “There’s a Brand New Baby in Our House.” That title sounds like a brand new parent wrote it in a sleepless attempt at creativity. 

• The party guests were named after Lucy and Desi’s real friends. Because unlike in the show, the couple had more friends than just the owners of their building.
