Can you guess what sent these classic sitcom characters to the hospital?

These shows made us wonder, "What's up, doc?"

Twelve hours before the original broadcast on January 19, 1953, the actress who played Lucy, Lucille Ball, had given birth to Desi Arnaz, Jr. by cesarean section. The episode had actually been filmed on November 14, 1952.

Correct! Lucy actually gave birth to her son just 12 hours before ''Lucy Goes the Hospital'' was filmed! TOTALLY A BIG FAT LIE!! Lucy had Desi Arnaz Jr. the same day as the show aired, now how could that have happened if she had him BEFORE the show was filmed. PLEASE MeTV.....GET THE STORIES CORRECT!!
