1. How did the producers get Norman Fell to do a guest appearance on TC in 1981 after being told he could not return to the show

2. Why was the reagle beagle barley seen in season 8

3. Why was Mr. Furley character single during the entire show

4. Why did Mr. Angelino sell the building to Mr. Bradford off camera

Why wasn't the season 7 opening credits updated with Janet's new hairstyle?
(I havent seen the DVD for season 7 in years so the opening credits could have been updated with her longer hair

Norman Fell did only two other TV appearances in 1981; he had plenty of time. And the fact is, he and Audra wanted to come back full time. This was better than nothing.

I just thought it was weird that they covered the story of him not being able to come back to TC in the true hollywood story. And never brought up why he decided to come back 2 years later

I'm gonna guess the writers wanted the gang to use Jack's Bistro as a hangout.

That is a head scratcher maybe Bradford being a businessman saw the Bistro as a goldmine and at the same time wanted to keep tabs on the man dating his daughter.

Mr. Angelino disappeared halfway through season 8, His last episode was Like Father like Son. episode 8

I guess that since they established Jack's bistro for story ideas that could generate (and as a dating place), there was no need to maintain a Regal Beagle filming set -- no need in the scripts, no need to spend money on that...?

They managed to balance it out in season 7 but in season 8 it was gone. Now I understand why it was no longer a need for Angelino's since Jack had his own Restaurant but the Bistro was a place that Jack was working not having relaxed time away from work. So that's why i was surprised it was eliminated completely

Another item nobody seems to notice is the apartment bathroom is no longer used in seasons 7-8, except for season 7's episode 'A Night Not To Remember' in which Janet angrily throws Jack out of the bathroom door.

You think they used the Regal Beagle? But of course in actuality the show moved to the ABC Metromedia Center for tapings I guess they didn't bother with bringing the bathroom set.

Good catch. We dont see the inside of it anymore after A night not to remember. Just Felipe's cousin coming out of it

One of the funniest things I noticed is how sometimes when a character comes out of the kitchen you can clearly see that the kitchen is not set up to be even filmed in. lol has anyone else noticed this?

Its noticeable in Season 5's 'Dying To Meet You' in which the Max character is shoving Janet out of the kitchen, you can clearly see it's not set up.

1. $$$$$$$$$

2. I'd like to know too. Maybe they wanted a change of scenery?

3. Who'd marry him??

They always portrayed Furley as such a DORK who was always REJECTED by women with only 1 or 2 exceptions.

4. Watching somebody sign a bill of sale isn't exciting.

That was impossible with Furley there who was clearly funnier.
