Satirical commentary of I Love Lucy every Friday! Here are this week’s WTFacts. 

This Week’s Episode:

“The Gossip”

Original Air Date:

March 24, 1952

This Week’s WTFacts:

• Bob Jellison, who plays the milkman in this episode, goes on to play Bobby the Bellboy later in some of the famous Hollywood episodes. He later plays Bobby the Typecast Actor and Bobby the Guy Named Bobby.

• In this episode, the Ricky and Fred describe Grace Foster as a hot blonde in #3B. But in Season 2 we meet her, and she’s actually a brunette in #2A (see photo). These guys really do understand women.

• Ethel refers to a “black maria” at one point. Don’t worry, it’s not racist. It’s just a police vehicle meant to carry several passengers. Like a paddy wagon. Oh, yeah, “paddy wagon” is racist.
