** Having white people play "Indians" in Ricky's show comes up fairly frequently. While more than acceptable in the time it was filmed in, it's known to be an extremely offensive practice today.

** Having white people play "Indians" in Multiple times, Ricky's show comes up fairly frequently. club stages shows where non-native performers play natives (African or American) with stereotypical costumes, and Lucy has one scheme posing as an Orientalist "maharincess" caricature with Ethel to give Ricky publicity. While these scenarios, in-universe and out, were fair entertainment in their time, they're more than acceptable in the time it was filmed in, it's known likely to be an extremely considered ignorant and offensive practice today.today, compounded by the caricatures being performed by ethnic outsiders. In addition to ethnic caricatures portrayed by outsiders, "The Indian Show" also indulges in period-typical narratives of Native Americans as terrifying brutal savages and makes jokes with TontoTalk, which all comes across as horrfiyingly offensive as cultural awareness has shifted.

** Creator/GeorgeReeves appearing in costume in "Lucy and Superman" and exclusively being referred to as [[Series/TheAdventuresOfSuperman Superman]] rather than his real name (as a way of not spoiling things for younger audience members) ends up being sadly reminiscent of the {{Typecasting}} he struggled with later in his career and which may have played a role in his untimely death.
