What piece of furniture/set dressing would you love to have from the show? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

'80sSitcoms · 04-21-2020, 09:49 PM

You can pick a piece of furniture or "set dressing" from each of the 4 eras of the show:

The Dorm (season 1)
The Cafeteria (seasons 2-4)
Edna's Edibles (seasons 5, 6)
Over Our Heads (seasons 7-9)

Choosing only ONE piece of furniture or set dressing from whichever eras you'd like to have one from, what would you pick?

(not props---there's a separate thread for those)

Season 1 I would take the highboy chest of drawers that is in Mrs. Garretts bedroom.

Season 2 I would take the vending machine from the lounge.

Season 5 I would take the Edna's Edibles Sign

Season 7 A silly item from the store.

Ha! We matched 2 & 3 and I chose without peeking at the replies. You'll have to fight me for the Edna Edibles sign!

I almost said the grandfather clock for Season1....but I chose the highboy chest. It was a tough decision.

The Dorm (season 1) - definitely the SECOND grandfather clock, not the first one. The more whimsical one.
The Cafeteria (seasons 2-4) - the lounge couch
Edna's Edibles (seasons 5, 6) - the cash register!
Over Our Heads (seasons 7-9) - maybe the bizarre second door at Stage Left?

The Dorm (season 1)- The Grandfather clock!!!!
The Cafeteria (seasons 2-4)- The silver contraption maybe?
Edna's Edibles (seasons 5, 6)- The Edna’s Edible Sign
Over Our Heads (seasons 7-9)- The neon sign

The Dorm: The piano.
The Caferteria: The vending machines.

After the Eastland Years, I didn't really watch the show much so I can really say there.

Okay, Lorsie, WHAT in the HECK is "the silver contraption"???

'80sSitcoms · 04-22-2020, 02:12 PM

The Dorm - maybe Señor Tiger? That way it "accidentally doubles" as a set dressing for the dorm AND the cafeteria years, so I get away with picking it as "season 1", heehee

The cafeteria - Retro, I was thinking about the lounge couch too!!

EE - Maybe the Edna chalkboard sign?
OOH - The bigger-sized inflatable palm tree

Yeah, but I specified the second grandfather clock, so they can fight over the first one.

Leaving us to maybe fight over the couch!

Or someone could claim Natalie and Tootie's bunk beds and invite a buddy over for a "Facts"-a-thon!
