Have you ever been to the American History Museum in the Smithsonian in Washington, D.C.? It is one of my favorite places in the world, because of the TV props they have there, such as Fonzie's leather jacket, Ted Baxter's WJM blazer, an early Sesame Street sign, a Romper Room "Doo-Bee" mask, assorted stuff rom M*A*S*H, etc.

What else do you think should go in this fantastic exhibit? I say:

1. One of Laverne's "L" sweaters (Laverne & Shirley).
2. An Eastland sweater/blazer (Facts of Life).
3. Dmitri the Sheep (Perfect Strangers)
4. Steve Urkel's huge glasses (Family Matters)
5. One of Mr. Furley's ascots (Three's Company)

What else? http://www.sitcomsonline.com/ubb/smile.gif

P.S. Not only was I born in D.C., I'm going back there in Spring 2003 for the World Figure Skating Championship!

Don't they also have Archie Bunker's chair?

I would also like to see:

Three's Company couch
Tootie's rollerskates
Mork's spacesuit

I've never been there, but would like to make the 'pilgrimage' atleast one time..

Unless you are going to open a whole seperate wing just for The Wonder Years, I don't think that would work.. What is ONE item (or even a few) from the show that stands out? I would vote for Kevin's Jets jacket.

Things from just one episode are not as memorable in my opinion.
