I was watching an episode of "Bewitched" on Youtube the other day. It looks like Abner & Gladys have a Maytag washer & dryer in their kitchen! CLICK HERE TO GO TO washinsheen's LINK | ||

Partridge Family House
And the Bewitched house were what are called "standing sets" on the Warner Bros. Ranch, which used to be the Columbia Ranch, owned by Columbia Pictures. The ranch had a lot of houses associated with classic TV shows; most of them are still there. They are facades, not fully built houses. In some cases, the facade is hiding a storage building used for studio equipment like lights, etc. The interiors you saw on the shows were built elsewhere, on soundstages; editing makes it look like the exteriors match up to the interiors. In the era of classic TV shows, most studios had a "Suburban Street" like this. Some of them are gone, because of the very high real estate values in the L.A. area. In addition, these lots are extremely expensive to maintain, because of the costs of watering and maintaining East Coast-style vegetation and trees in California, to say nothing of taxes. But the one used for Bewitched, The Partridge Family, I Dream of Jeannie and Gidget survives. You can see it at the link below; the slideshow even includes some shots of what these famous houses look like around back, as well as inside (WARNING: THESE PHOTOS ARE SPOILERS IF YOU PREFER TO BELIEVE THAT THESE ARE REAL HOUSES): CLICK HERE TO GO TO danemodsandy's LINK | ||

Floor Plans on TV:
There's often a floor plan problem on TV shows- there are windows on the interior sets that don't match up to the exteriors shown, that kind of thing. The Mary Tyler Moore Show is a good example. On the show, every time Mary's front door is open, you can see a stained-glass window in the hallway. There's no such window in that location on the exterior of the house. Also, Rhoda's apartment was frequently referred to as being "upstairs", meaning above Mary's. This was established in the very first episode, and often mentioned thereafter. But when you see Rhoda's apartment, it's obviously a turret room, circular in shape. The real Minneapolis house used for exteriors has a turret, but it's on the same level as the window used for Mary's apartment, not on a higher level. So, that happens a lot. | ||

Samantha Darrin is indeed a fool. Samantha is a doll, and he should let her be who she is. But then again, there wouldn't have been a show.
