Default ABC tried but the House in season 8 just looks sad

It's so obvious the show was on a new network and studio because the house looked more like a spoof of the original house we were used to all those previous seasons.

The Boys room is completely different and doesn't look the same

The color of the house period is strange looking

The living room looks like a musuem and not a actual home someone lives in lol




What a Props Disaster

Willis looked ridiculous in that bowtie when he was going off to college. In fact, his entire outfit in that scene was so cheezy. I remember he had on some multi-colored vest with '86 on it and his hair ..... YUCK! Don't even get me started on that silly ass hair style he had going. He would have looked better bald.

And yes, the living room did look like a museum.

Was there a reason they had to change the set when it moved to ABC? It was strange how they changed it. The living room was painted a dark pink when it had been yellow on NBC. The staircase was now carpeted, and the big marble bannister was now replaced with a smaller bannister. That really seemed strange. And also the boys' bedroom was painted green and the bunk bed was gone. I didn't even recognize it at first when I saw Arnold waking up in one of last night's episodes until someone walked in the door then I saw what they had done.

LOL. The house already looked like museum between 78-85.

I liked the house in the last season. The production company that produced DS, FOL and SS gave all three of the shows makeovers that year of 1985.

Yeah. That shop. I actually liked the shop. It was modern and contemporary. I just felt like I was losing the interest by that season. Maybe it was because the girls were getting older. It was just a thing if getting with the times at that time. Silver Spoons had a make over with the living room and Kate got rid of the train set. All three shows got set overhauls and updated theme songs. As I said before, 1985 was a key year for change.
