Poorly done lighting techniques on the "Classic 39" - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I don't remember in what episodes this occured in but there were a few in which the lighting was poorly done (too much light in the background) which made the outdoor scenery look obviously fake (the buildings that you could see as you looked out of the Kramden's kitchen window). Did anyone else notice this? If you did, do you remember in what episodes this occurs in?

Well I don't remember the background outside the window ever looking real (lol), but I have an idea of what you're talking about. I can't think of any episodes off the top of my head but I'll keep an eye out for you. One thing I've always noticed though, during scenes in the Norton's apartment, sometimes you can see the lights from the crew reflecting off of their television set. And since we're on the subject of lights, I also noticed in the Lost Episode "Kramden Vs. Norton," when Ralph is showing Alice how his underwear is "frozen," there is a noticeable flash at one point. At first I thought it might've been a problem with the lights, but eventually I found out that someone had taken a picture, I didn't realize that until I saw the picture in a book though.

I'll have to pay more attention when I'm watching scenes in the Norton's apartment because I don't ever remember noticing the lights from the crew reflecting off of their television set. Thanks for pointing that out.
