Great Scott, It's My House in 1977 - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I watched the Father Knows Best Reunion today and I could almost swear that the house (from the outside) looks like Mr. Wilson's house from Dennis the Menace. Now it looked a bit different in that the white picket fence in front of the house was gone, it was now on the side but the tree on the right was there still and the white house next door looked like the white house next to Wilson's and the house on the right side looked like Dennis' old house. Now this was made in 1977 so things had changed some, but the round the block sidewalk across the street was there just as it was in Hazel & Gidget (2 other Columbia series that shared the same houses).

So if any you have seen 1977's Father Knows Best Reunion TV movie see if you don't think as I do that this was Mr. Wilson's house next to Dennis house too which can be seen also in a brief scene.

I think the Anderson house of FKB and the Wilson house on DTM are one and the same (different interior sets, of course). Screen Gems got a lot of use out of all their houses and interior sets.

I think it's interesting how the Andersons had remodeled their house over the 17 years since the show ended (as a real family would have). The updated kitchen is pretty nice compared with the original.

This house was also Major Anthony Nelson's house in I dream of Jeannie. All three shows used this backlot house.
