In the episode "Looking for loans in all the wrong places" where the ladies are trying to get a loan for the loose meat sandwich shop, there is a secondary story going on abt D.J. using his telescope to look at Molly next door undressing.

Darlene finds out when she goes upstairs to tell D.J. to come downstairs. Darlene enters D.J.'s room FROM THE LEFT. The few times we see D.J.'s room, everyone is seen coming from the RIGHT. The floor plan is that the girls' room is on the right hand side of the hallway. We always see the door on the left. A window on the wall and the bathroom to the right of the room.
Later on in other episodes, we see Dan and Roseanne come into D.J.'s room from the RIGHT. The way it should have been.

D.J.'s room couldn't be on the right side of the hallway or else he would not have a window in the exact same spot as the girls. The only way this would work is if his room was underneath the girls' room (the first floor). His room in this episode is laid out exactly like the girls' room.

Exactly. Jackie uses his bathroom to change and that is what I thought of when I seen this mistake.

yea, DJ is in the girls room, which means the door to the hallway, should be on the left.

thats bugged me about the show ever since i started watching. the layout of the upstairs makes no sense. The kids share the upstairs bathroom, so Darlene could be coming through the right side. I drew a layout of how i think the upstairs is set up.

That's how I picture the layout is too. When people enter from the left door, I think they are just entering through the bathroom.

Wait! The kids share the bathroom???? Where was this stated? I must have missed that one, I never knew that. I assumed they each had their own bathroom. Frankly, I don't know anyone that has a bathroom in EACH BEDROOM. :crazy:

Im confused!!!:crazy: because in the episode where jacky is getting dressed in djs room shes suppose to be in his bathroom in and darlene comes in throught the supposed door on the right hand side!! I think in that episode they made out as if dj had a bathroom because darlene was meant to walk in on jacky by going to get dj back for the prank he pulled on her.In early episodes Dj gets told off by becky and darlene for using there bathroom because he does not have one.

Yeah, exactly. That is why I don't know where it was said that D.J. and the girls shared a bathroom. There was never another door shown in the girls bathroom. Maybe people are confused with the Brady Bunch bathroom. :lol:

Remember the scenes where Becky was "ill" in the bathroom and the other scene when Darlene was dyeing her hair when Molly walked in, there was no appearance of another door, although you could say that is there is the side where the audience is sitting, but it doesn't make sense since Jackie used D.J.'s bathroom when she was changing into another shirt.

That is another thing. It seems that Jackie was afraid to use the girls bathroom to change because she would be worried that Darlene might walk in on her. She didn't expect anyone to walk in on her in D.J.'s bathroom.

Yeah!! exactly!! i cant see that they shared a bathroom? Dj and the girls i mean.From when jacky was using "djs bathroom" that was suppose to be where you enter his rooms as in previous episodes? then the episode where jacky hurt her back and was staying in djs room they entered the room from the right side aswell??

im pretty sure that it was mentioned that they shared a bathroom. I remember Darlene saying in the episode where DJ puts bath beads in her pockets, that he must have gotten in through the bathroom, because she locked her door. Which means they shared a bathroom. And also in the episode where DJ masturbates, Darlene said he was in the upstairs bathroom. And it was never mentioned that she was afraid to change in the girls bathroom. She might have been afraid to change in there bedroom. I also think that on the "actual set" the rooms aren't connected. I'm assuming that they shoot from where the wall would be between the 2 bedrooms. Then it would make sense that way. thats why it looks like the doors are on opposite sides.

I thought the conner house had two bathrooms upstairs? In the episode "Homeward Bound" Darlene comments that DJ uses her and Becky's bathroom because "its the only one with a lock on it"

Thank you for that info. I knew they had two bathrooms. It WAS NEVER referenced they had ONE or shared a bathroom.

When Darlene said that D.J. got through the door, she meant he must have "picked the lock" or something like that.

As for D.J. masturbating episode, she said UPSTAIRS bathroom, not OUR bathroom. If they shared a bathroom, it would be a bathroom they shared. Darlene was probably referencing a GUEST bathroom. There had to be one for guests since the parents had their own bathroom in the master bedroom and the kids had their own, so where would guests go?

That layout can't be correct. If you see the episode to which I am referring in this thread, you will see D.J. has a window just like his sister's bedroom. His bedroom is laid out just like the girls' room EXCEPT the bathroom is to THE LEFT. The bedroom door is to the RIGHT. The opposite of the way the girls' room is laid out.

Also, if you see the episode where D.J. takes a peek at Molly undressing, he is able to see Molly's house from his window. The girls' window in their room also faces Molly's house. So those two windows have to be facing the same direction.

Now, I know we are talking abt a sitcom here and there are going to be goofs, errors, etc. I always found the layout of the Conner house to be pretty accurate.

I have a question, is D.J.'s room the room the family ends up changing into the new baby's room?

where did it say on the show that there were 2 upstairs bathrooms? In "Crime & Punishment" Darlene is complaining about DJ and says "I locked my door but he must have gotten in through the bathroom" which would mean that they probally did share a bathroom. Also in that episode when Jackie is changing, Darlene opens the door and its the same exact bathroom Darlene is seen dying her hair in on "Pretty in Black". In that episode when Molly is sitting on the toilet talking to Darlene about lipstick, you can see DJ's door in the background. In "Homeward Bound" yes Dan does refer to it as "her bathroom" later on Darlene states "he goes in that room because its the only one with a lock on it". This still may not convince some of you, but i can take screen shots if you like.

Where do they state that the girls window faces Molly's house too?

And yes Irene DJ's room is the room they turn into the nursery, also im sorta curious to see your version of the upstairs layout if you don't mind.

I will admit my layout is wrong because the bathroom door for DJ's room is in the wrong place. They do share a bathroom though. I did design Roseanne's house for the sims 2 before, and thats how i laid it out. Maybe someone should contact Garvin Eddy and ask him.

I wish I knew how to make a layout. How did you do that? I so bad want to make a layout and don't know how.

I errored on the Molly house/girls bedroom window point. I got confused with D.J.'s window. This is annoying because their rooms look so similar except for the fact their door is on the opposite side.

The reason I asked abt DJ's room being turned into the nursery is because that episode is where the original Becky returns and she is seen coming from the hallway to your right. She then leaves the same direction to go downstairs. So that tells me D.J.'s room is to the left of the hallway. As for the girls' room, when you see them leaving the room, they walk to the LEFT to go downstairs. It has to be because the few times they showed us the view right outside the girls bedroom door, you see the hallway END RIGHT THERE. It doesn't proceed any further. My feeling has always been that the girls room is on the right (if you face the end of the hallway) and D.J.'s room is on the left.

Also, in that one episodee, Dan and Roseanne were yelling at D.J. and Todd (I believe) when they were jumping on D.J.'s bed, and it was right above Dan and Roseanne's bedroom. Dan and Roseanne have a window in their room where they had that old couple naked and they could see them. That is supposed to be the house where Molly lived. D.J. was able to see Molly from his bedroom window as well. So I surmise that D.J.'s window was right above Dan and Roseanne's bedroom window.

This whole layout thingy has me soooo confused. :lol:

i made my layout in paint. Its very easy to do Irene.

The idea behind my layout is that the camera shoots the scenes in the room where the wall btw the two rooms is. make sense? so it appears the girls door is on the left, and DJ's is on the right. The layout has me confused also though. thats just what makes most sense to me. and DJ's room still would be above Dan & Roseannes. Just assume the Becky and Darlenes Room is above the living room. Attached is a layout. that i explained some stuff on. I'm still confused by it myself. But if i mentioned it already or not, this is how i designed the house when i played it on Sims 2.

I dont think that layout is correct because as you walk into beckys and darlenes room darlenes bed is next to the door and beckys is across from darlenes facing hers,so that means in your layout picture that the bathroom is where their window is or their wardrobe.The bathroom on the layout is where the both windows are!

I see what you are saying, however, you just have to imagine the bathroom laid out much longer, with the door to the bathroom in the girls room more to the left than it is showing above. Same thing with DJ's bathroom door, just have it more to the right.

I can't ever recall it ever being said though that the bathroom was shared. I guess we have to hear it in what is being said by the characters. I will try and listen carefully to what is being said in the particular episodes that were mentioned here on this thread.

I am open to more debating though whether they shared a bathroom or not. I like the layout though, because it gives me something to look at rather than visualize and try to put in words.

Pretty sure they are shared. Watch the 1st part of the Jackie/Fisher abuse episodes. Jackie goes upstairs to borrow something from Darlene, and then Darlene goes into DJ's room and into the bathroom, where Jackie is.

If they didn't share a bathroom, why would she go all the way to DJ's bathroom to try it on?

I think the upstairs bathroom is a walkthrough one. Sometimes during a scene in Becky and Darlene's room you can see another wooden sliding door through the bathroom in the girls room and same door in DJ's room. but yet there are two ways of getting to DJ's room, through the bathroom and at the other side of his room.

You know just when I think I was over this whole "bathroom" and "bedroom" confusion, I see another episode and it starts all over again...:lol:

The episode where Roseanne starts working at the mall restaurant, the girls are fighting and Dan leaves them to work it out all by themselves. While D.J. is looking out the living room window, we see clothes falling from the sky (the girls' bedroom window upstairs)...Becky is dropping Darlene's stuff out the window. Ok, now I am confused. This means the girls' bedroom is right above the parents bedroom whereas in another episode, we are led to believe that it is D.J.'s bedroom. :confused: :crazy:

Hey there all! I am new here and love "Roseanne"! I was reading this and thought about the episode where they made a writing room for "R" in the basement and she couldn't write down there. Later that night she is upstairs writing in DJ's room and Dan goes looking for her up the stairs and he enters through the left side of DJ's room. BUT....when Jackie hurt her back "catching a perp", they all enter through the right side of the room. Hmmmmm...... I guess they just like to leave us thinking, lol!

I think that in earlier episodes they just used the same set as the girls' bedroom for DJ's room. They just changed the furniture and stuff since earlier on they probably had to reuse sets instead of building new ones. This would explain why Roseanne entered through the left side (the entrance to the girl's room is on the left also).

I know this has nothing to do with the "real" architecture of the house but I think that is why it varies in some episodes.

I just noticed in the "catching a perp" one that everyone enters from the right, but the thing I found odd is that the door swings outward! Usually a door swings into a room. :crazy:
