"Lucy Thinks Ricky Is Trying to Murder Her" is the fourth episode in the 1950s TV show I Love Lucy. The episode aired on Monday, November 5, 1951. It was part of the first season. The episode features Lucille Ball as Lucy Ricardo, Desi Arnaz as Ricky Ricardo, Vivian Vance as Ethel Mertz, and William Frawley as Fred Mertz.
This was the first episode filmed. However, there were many production problems and they decided to air the second episode filmed, "The Girls Want to Go to a Nightclub," instead.
This episode was also the only episode of the series to be filmed with four cameras, and they tried to film it straight through like a play without stopping.
