Default After rewatching Season 1, I noticed some differences

The entrance to the Drummond penthouse has double doors in Season 1, but from Season 2 onwards it is a single door. I wonder why they changed that?

I also noticed that in nearly every episode in Season 1, they never left the Drummond penthouse. The only ones that did were toward the end: the Hello Larry crossover, the episode where Arnold goes to the police station to identify a thief, Willis' birthday at his friend's house in Harlem, and The Facts of Life intro pilot. Two of those were on sets of other NBC sitcoms. I wonder did they not have a lot of money to have other sets at that time?

And that's the main reason why season 1 is not my favorite season

That is why it is not your favorite season? Did it just come off as boring to you or something?

Hey Trueman, about the pics you posted: I'm not sure who that first honey is but the second picture looks like Monie Love.

Am I right?

Just a friendly reminder to stay on topic. I think for the next couple of days, I'll reopen the other topic so it doesn't carry over here as well but please be mindful. You can post on the other thread.
