Man's Foot in the Scene - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Does anyone remember what episode it was when Wally comes in through the front door and you can see a man's shoe quickly on the left before he goes into the living room. It's in the second house and it's a later episode. It's a wide shot where June and Ward are on the sofa. I thought it was Parking Attendants but not sure.

I don't remember that (but I'll be on the lookout for it). Keep an eye out for this: later in season 6, the boys (Eddie, Lumpy, and Beaver, I think) are running upstairs, and a boom mike drops quickly into the scene.

Also, one thing I used to write about on the TV Land LITB boards, was what I called the disappearing lamp post (at 211 Pine). By the Cleaver driveway, as you face the house, there is an old style iron lamp post to the left of the driveway. You see this lamp post between scenes, at night, many times. (On the Tv Land boards I said it must be nice to have a light that's only there at night, when it's needed). But, in many day scenes, it is plainly not there (particularly noticeable when cars are backing out)--making one think they shot day scenes at some other driveway, for some reason. Two times the light can plainly been seen in daytime: in the beginning of season 3 when Beaver starts taking the bus, and at the end of season 5, when the Cleavers are leaving on vacation without Wally. It's seen briefly (day again) once between scenes, and that's it. In all other shots where it would be there and visible in the shot, it's not there.

I thought the boom dropping into the scene was from Wally's Practical Joke but Lumpy wouldn't be running upstairs. I recall Eddie, Wally and Beaver running upstairs so Eddie could tell them his plan.

Yeah that lamppost comes and goes.

I didn't remember which episode the boom mike was. I can't believe no one noticed that (hey we need to retake that or edit it out!)

Yeah stands to reason Lumpy wouldn't be there!

I just saw Parking Attendants and it's right at the beginning but it looked like it was there before but now that shoe is gone. I think I saw a shadow covering the shoe. I believe it could be on the DVD's.

I didn't see the shoe on the DVD (if this is the scene at the beginning where Wally enters). I checked it in slow motion, and I think all I see are Wally's feet. Maybe it was digitally edited out.

Is the foot attached to a body?

Things were not as they seemed.

I remember seeing a man's foot scooched down hiding when the camera does a wide shot of Wally entering. Now it's gone.

This is like that missing scene in June's Birthday. I'll probably never figure that out either.
