You can pick a prop from each of the 4 eras of the show:


The Dorm (season 1)
The Cafeteria (seasons 2-4)
Edna's Edibles (seasons 5, 6)
Over Our Heads (seasons 7-9)


Choosing only ONE prop from whichever eras you'd like to have a prop from, what props would you pick?

Remember, these are props, not furniture or "set dressing"---something that was picked up/handled by the characters.

Welllllll, they could be?? I mean, they're wardrobe, but they are also an "item of use"---I guess the skates are "wuzzles"! :lol:

There would be SO much to think about, but off the top of my head...

The Dorm - I might actually have to pick Nancy's umbrella! 🌂

It was the most HILARIOUS moment of that season when I first saw it as a child.

The Cafeteria - Maybe Cindy's copy of The Eastlander busting Mr. Gideon 📰

EE and OOH, I have no idea yet.

I will take the stereo system that Tumpy sold to the girls in the episode 'Dope" I hope it has 8 track :lol:

If I can't have Cindy's fictional cheese dip, due to the technicality of it not actually existing, I'll take Natalie's sister's hand-me-down dress, Roger's vehicle, or Tiger's doghouse. :lol: ...No good, either? Okay then...

I'll take Sue Ann's silver-plated track trophy (which has HER name on it, not Mr. Bradley's, despite him saying it will be "his").

Wasn't it shown with a record player on the top? How was Nancy going to play her great Donna Summer records on an 8-track player? :lol:

Another cool item! You could display it proudly, with its giant headline:
TEACHER BUSTED IN COCAINE RAID!

Tootie’s sculpture of Jermaine Jackson’s head
Jo’s frumpy cotillion dress
Edna’s resignation on the back of a HoJo’s menu

(I know they’re all from the same era, but that’s the era I’m most familiar with.)

No, no! Natalie's sister's hand-me-down dress is good! Haven't you watched RH?? :lol: ;) That's the dress that Cindy wears! :)

Hey, we're all in a "different normal" for the time being, so I won't get hung up on technicalities---too much. ;) lol :p

It did have a record player, but Tootie and the girls were taking a poll whether they wanted a cassette or 8 track to go along with a turntable. It being an expensive German model, I say it had both. The girls can boogie the night away to Donna Summer, Andy Gibb, etc...I bet the girls also had those K-tel an Ronco compilation records of the latest hits.

The poster featuring a man with glasses sitting down at a cafe on the back of the girls' door. I believe it was from the Edna's Edibles seasons.

(I still haven't been able to find out what exactly the painting is)
