Lucy makes mention of President Kennedy and his fitness program in the script; this episode aired Monday, November 18, 1963 (four days before the assassination); it must have been awkward in the initial repeat to hear that line so close in time to the event.
Edit
Next week's episode of The Lucy Show is pre-empted for CBS NEWS coverage of the funeral of the asassinated President, John F. Kennedy, on November 25, 1963.

Vivian: Whew! Finally finished! I didn't know painting was such hard work.
Lucy: Neither did I.
Vivian: Honestly! I don't know how Picasso does it!
Lucy: Viv, he only had to give his paintings one coat.

(after crashing the car through the wall)Viv: Ohhhh! And I think of the hours it took me to paint that wall!
Lucy: It's hard to believe this all happened because I can't stand purple!
