What Prop From TDVDS Set Would You Like? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

SawgrassSteve · 11-08-2005, 10:22 AM

If you could have any item(s) you wanted from the set of TDVDS, what would you chose?
Does anyone remember this prop from the show? I don't.
BTW, be careful if you're at work opening this link. It has a music file on it.

It would be cool to have Alan Brady's hair.

But really I always liked there furniture

octobereve · 11-09-2005, 02:07 PM

You know, I have a vase just like the one on ebay.

What prop would I like? Like Gilligan Fanatic, I love the Petries' furniture. I would gladly take the sectional sofa and the Homer Laughlin Southwind dishes they had for the first few (five?) seasons and the cruet and salt and pepper set that's on the shelves in the kitchen. If I were tall and thin enough, I would take Laura's wardrobe.

Lolac · 11-09-2005, 10:09 PM

I would love to have "Horrible," the dog. He is so sweet! I would also love to have Laura's wardrobe. She had this black negligee that she wore in "Don't Trip Over That Mountain" and "A Farewell to Writing" that I absolutely love! I would also love to have a walnut with absorbitron!

Lolac

BTW, Steve, I also don't remember that vase. I would love to know what episode it was in.

hrstultz · 11-10-2005, 04:43 PM

The prop that I would like to have is the chair that is beside the couch. Rob sits in the chair in the beginning of the Betty Lou episode.

I have always liked the little triangular pillow that sits on the sofa in the back of the living room, by the bricks. I know it sounds weird. But you just don't see triangle pillows very often! I think it's cute.

SawgrassSteve · 11-12-2005, 02:03 PM

Although I'd happily take the car used in the opening scene from "My Husband Is A Check Grabber," it looks like we agree on the furniture. It was the first thing that came to mind for me too.
Some of that stuff is still around and popular:

I'd like to have the twin beds. If Rob's gave him many a good night's sleep, I'm sure it'd do the same for me. And if I ever get married I'd have to have some place for my wife to sleep !

undoubtedly doomed to bachelorhood.....

LOL!

BigBadBrady · 11-16-2005, 04:28 AM

i know what i would want, without a doubt. in many of the bedro0m scenes,
there was this weird lo0king, hourglass-shaped object on the little shelf
behind rob's headboard. it had black and white (hehe) horizontal stripes
across it. i have no clue what it is or where i would find one. but i have
wanted that prop ever since i started watching DVD like fifteen years ago.
anyone have any idea what that thing is or how i could go about trying to
find it?

Lolac · 11-16-2005, 10:50 AM

I know exactly which prop you are refering to. I have often wondered myself what that thing is! I wonder if Doug Denoff knows.

Lolac

Joe F · 11-26-2005, 01:44 PM

I'd like the typewriter from Rob's desk. I haven't even seen a typewriter in years.

ddenoff · 11-28-2005, 09:45 AM

The hourglass thing behind Rob's bed? i can't picture it but if anyone wants to email me a screencap (doug@dickvandykeshow.com) I'll do my best to get an answer.

We are lucky enough to have several wonderful props - paintings....

We (The Denoffs) have the two 'Artanis' clown paintings from Episode 65, "The Masterpiece" AND the spritz painting "a la Jackson Pollack" which i THINK is from "October Eve" (someone please correct me) - painted by Serge Carpetna (Carl Reiner)...it's signed by Carl and DVD.

I'll post pics of these on the www.dickvandykeshow.com website soon.

The quest of all quests (the most questioned prop) is the small poster for The Dairymaids that's on the wall behind the desk in the office set. The Dairymaids was a small Broadway show in the 1920's but I have NO idea why the art director chose it for the set...the 'hidden significance', if any.

David VP · 11-29-2005, 02:41 AM

Fascinating stuff Doug. Thanks for sharing.

There are lots of props that I'd be interested in (including the ones already mentioned above).

Plus:

>> "The Thing"; aka: the "Hooka", as Howard Morris ("Mr. Holdecker") put it. (From "The Masterpiece" episode.)

>> Buddy's "Meerschatz Pipe".

>> Empress Carlotta's Necklace (who's got possession of that "chandelier" now?).

>> The picture that is seen on the wall behind the couch in Rob's office that shows an image of a Las Vegas hotel sign that says "Now Appearing: Danny Thomas" on the marquee.

>> The "8 Ball" from the office desk.

>> That famous nine-foot curved couch in the Petrie living room.

>> The huge flying saucer toy from "Uhny Uftz".

>> The infamous cut-off bath spout that was on Laura's toe in "Never Bathe On Saturday".

>> The old rolltop desk from "The Great Petrie Fortune".

>> The huge campaign poster saying "Rob Petrie For City Council".

>> The potato shaped like a duck from "Odd But True". I wonder if there were actually two potatoes...one with the head bit off and one intact? Or maybe it wasn't a REAL potato after all.

>> The bull-fighting outfit from "Viva Petrie".

>> The ugly Petrie brooch shaped like the United States (stones included).

>> The picture of "Big Bad Brady" that was shown in "The Gunslinger".

>> The cannon that Rob used to "shoot" at the policeman in Benny Joey's nightclub.

>> The enormous pair of scissors used by Mel Cooley in Season 1's "Washington Vs. The Bunny".

>> Ritchie's pith helmet from the woodpecker episode.

>> The inflatable life raft from "The Curious Thing About Women".

>> The cool "Lazy Susan" rotating snack-mix tray, used to display the proverbial "Potato Poopies", "Corn Curlies", and "Wheat Whippies".

>> The portable TV in the Petrie living room (which was wheeled into the bedroom as needed).

>> Laura's "sugar cube" (given to her by Jacques Savon) from "The Square Triangle".

>> Rob's "Tiger Pajamas". Cool!

>> Laura's spiffy capri pants (any pair will do).

(I won't wear them myself, you understand. )

>> The sweater that was worn by BOTH Rob and Jerry in many first-year episodes.

>> The fish aquarium that we only see once (in "The Night The Roof Fell In").

>> Laura's gorgeous Jackie Kennedy-esque outfit (with Jackie-like pillbox hat) that MTM wore in "Very Old Shoes, Very Old Rice". (I won't put this on either.)

>> The hand-painted tie that maid "Maria" painted with one hand tied behind her back in "Turtles, Ties And Toreadors".

>> The stuffed monkey that causes Rob some problems in "My Mother Can Beat Up My Father".

>> Any original DvDS script (or similar paper items from the show).

>> The life-sized cardboard Christmas stand-up display depicting MTM & Dick Van Dyke, used in a Kent Cigarettes commercial during Season 2.

>> Rob's little "Geronimo" (motorcycle) from "Br-rooom, Br-rooom".

>> The photograph of 'Lincoln's back' (from "The Great Petrie Fortune").

Whoah!
That's some Christmas list there, David!
Frankly, I admire your sense of recall. Amazing!
