The Deluxe Apartment In The Sky

I bet this has been discussed but it’s new to me. I’ve been watching and enjoying this show on STARZ. The apartment layout doesn’t jive with the outside hallway.

I hadn't thought about that before, but now that you mention it I think I see your point. The inside of the apartment gives the impression that Mr. Bentley's apartment is a lot further away than the hallway would indicate.

Oh. Have either of you ever lived in an apt building? There is a lot more to each floor than just each apartment. There are stairs, storage, a garbage chute, etc.

I have.

[magellan333]

I never have. DJM77 gets the nature of my inquiry. The hallway in the apartment leads to at least three bedrooms. However, the outside hallway suggests Mr. Bentley’s apartment is not far enough away to allow that much space.

I lived in one when I was an infant for the first year of my life.

EXACTLY!

But it was just a TV studio not a real apartment. I guess they figured the audience knew this was a TV show and not real life.

If it was a real apartment building of that size you'd have to walk at least 15+ feet from the Jefferson's front door to Bentley's front door not 5 feet like in the show!

But we did see the inside of Bentley's apartment at least once or twice. We never got a grand tour but never got a grand tour of the Jefferson's apartment either!

We never even saw the 2nd bedroom which was Lionel's room! We ONLY saw the OUTSIDE door of Lionel's room but never the interior. We ONLY saw the inside of the master bedroom and that was IT over 11 seasons!

Mother Jefferson slept in the guest bedroom but we never saw that either!
