What's the deal with all the clocks? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Gee, the Owens family must have really loved clocks. There are about 4 of them in the living room...the big grandfather clock and smaller wall clocks...all in a row!! I'm watching the show for the first time since I was a kid and had forgotten all about that. I think it's kind of amusing.

I haven't watched Mr. Belvedere in ages, but if I see it come on any of our cable stations, I'll check it out just to see these clocks. My husband and I have clocks literally all over the house (kind of like that scene at the beginning of the original Back to the Future, where all those clocks go off in Doc's office!), so he may be interested in seeing it, too! What can I say? We're clock fanatics, I guess!

It is on DVD, too - and I'm sure you could catch some of it on YouTube. The clocks are all in the living room, by the staircase.

hey, you know what time it is there?

catlover79 · 05-26-2009, 01:38 PM

Man, it had to be a pain changing all those for Daylight Savings Time, etc.

catlover79 · 05-27-2009, 08:41 AM

The clocks always seem to be set at different times, too.

That makes me think of something funny. I have a friend that works in a jewlery store and he told us that when daylight savings time came around they had to reset every watch in the store. Took them three hours!

Gosh, that's got to be a pain.

We're clock fanatics too--three cuckoos, two annivesary and an assortment of others.....when all of them go off, THE NOISE!!

There might be one by the front door in the living room, too. Then again, it might be a barometer.

Clocks on TV shows mostly are shown to be non-working, are they not?

They never seem to.

I remember in one of the season one or two episodes George seems to change the time on one of the clocks. If I remember correctly they all showed different times.

By the way I work for a watch/clock company and all the clocks in the office tell different times. It's a running joke with the employees. We seem to have problems getting the time on the phones to match the time on the timeclocks and the time on the computers. I won't even get into the clocks on display
