At 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.
