In the opening scene Ricky is reading the June 3, 1952 issue of "Look Magazine," which featured a photograph of Lucille Ball on its cover (upper-left) alongside such other celebrities as Adlai Stevenson and Marilyn Monroe.
Lucy mentions Alaska and Hawaii as states seven years before they were given statehood.
This is the same radio station that produced the Females are Fabulous program that Lucy appeared on.
This episode was based on an episode from Lucille Ball's radio show My favorite husband, entitled "Quiz Show". In this episode, Liz and George Cooper go on the "His and Hers" radio show.
The first act of this episode demonstrated how fast television was eclipsing radio. The foursomes disappointment that the television is busted readily displays this. The series itself would help television grow as its popularity convinced many people to go out and by sets. Within only a few short years most radio shows would be gone with the medium bring relegated to secondary status for entertainment mostly in music, news, sports, and the talk radio genres.
