Anachronism Stew: The term “showrunner” was not in use at the time I Love Lucy was made. References to the show being “taped” are also inaccurate, as the series was famously shot on film. Videotape wasn’t used to record sitcoms until much later. | |

Artistic License – History | |
| Being the Ricardos / int_56515a39 | comment |
Artistic License – History: The film takes many liberties with the actual timeline of historical events for the sake of drama: When Lucille is in the waiting room of the RKO executive who would tell her she's being dropped from the studio, there are movie posters on the wall, one of them for Stromboli. Stromboli came out in 1950, while Lucille was dropped from her RKO contract in 1942. Also, the studio executive compares her to Judy Holliday, who wouldn't become known until 1950 thanks to Born Yesterday.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); }) | |

| Being the Ricardos / int_8b6e8d7 | comment |
Anachronic Order: The film is told in Flashback by the older versions of executive producer Jess Oppenheimer and writers Madeline Pugh and Bob Carroll, and during the week of the show that's being discussed, we also see flashbacks to how Lucille and Desi met, their careers to that point, and the creation of I Love Lucy. | |

While Lucille did testify in front of the House of Un-American Activities (see Red Scare below) and was accused of being a Communist, that happened in 1953, a year after she announced to the network she was pregnant, not during the same week. | |
