The Trio's apt was supposed to be close to the beach but never a beach episode?? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Even Married with Children had a beach episode and I believe Who's the Boss had one too. But not the show that features the beach in the opening credits

We only seen them coming from the beach

They did talk about the beach sometimes like when Janet and Mrs. Roper decided to go down to the nude beach and protest. Also, in another episode, Chrissy talks about going to a beach barbeque with that colleague of Janet's. Also, Jack took Larry's sister to the beach for the grunion run. I remember Teri saying she was going to the beach while in a bikini in another episode. Still, they should have had at least one episode where they actually show the beach.

Yes, since it was so many references

I just thought of another one. Jack tells Janet and Chrissy about how he went surfing at the beach with his older girlfriend. Janet and Chrissy think he's talking about Mrs. Roper's old aunt but he's actually talking about the old lady's daughter (Mrs. Roper's cousin).

It was funny when he said "You should have seen how she turned heads in her bikini."

Or when he says: "What's that intoxicating fragrance you're wearing"?
Martha: "It's BenGay. I rub some on my shoulders for my arthritis."
Larry: "It's so you."

LOL

Also lol @ when Larry unbuttons his shirt when he's trying to put the moves on the old lady!

Yep, she mentions that she uses the BenGay for arthritis in her shoulders. I have the DVDs, maybe that part is only on the uncut version?

Yes Antenna only airs the local syndicated cuts. Pluto tv has its own cuts and be going to a commerical when Jack is talking to Janet

MRPITT · 08-14-2021, 08:45 PM

That always bothered me too.

Good Old Reliable Janet is the closest "beach" episode you can get without seeing the beach. There is a logical reason for no beach scenes. The show was shot in a studio. Its almost impossible to create the ocean and beach in a studio. For that reason alone, the beach is always referred to but never seen

PracTz · 08-17-2021, 10:13 AM

Even shows like 'I Love Lucy', 'The Lucy Show', 'The Brady Bunch', 'The Golden Girls' all DID have shows with scenes supposedly on beaches- and all but 'The Brady Bunch' were filmed/videoed in front of studio audiences. How tough would it have been to have just brought in a room-sized sandbox with maybe a tiny hot dog/shaved ice stand for the characters to stand in front of (like they do for stage plays)? The home audience would have had little trouble imagining the characters cavorting on an actual beach even if it wasn't actually filmed on one.
