Trivia about "The Diet" - I Love Lucy season 1
- In "The Diet", Lucy Ricardo learns that she’s gained 22 pounds since marrying Ricky. In order to replace a retiring singer in Ricky’s Tropicana nightclub act, she will need to lose 12 pounds in 4 days to fit into the singer’s outfit.

- Lucy fights with the Mertzes dog over a scrap of meat on a bone—the dog is never seen or mentioned again.
