I hope everyone who thinks Mayfield is in Ohio watched this episode. When building the boat the boys repeatedly say they will take it to the ocean after testing it on Miller's Pond.

And later, Ward specifically says "the ocean is 20 miles away!"

Hi, I'm one of the ones who thinks the show is set in Ohio. We've discussed this point in the past. I always thought this was a bit of poetic license for the sake of plot and to make Mayfield seem a bit vague in its exact setting. However, i think it's meant to be essentially in Ohio. I still stand by that. However, your point is well taken.

20 miles to the ocean works for me!!!

and don't forget the starfish the boys found visiting Aunt Martha.

I agree. It really could be Anywhere, USA,,,,,but more points to Ohio than anything else. Plus, in the LITB movie, they made it Mayfield, Ohio.

The LITB Movie did not stick to the TV plots at all, so shouldn't be used as a basis to determine where Mayfield was. Remember in the Movie they call Aunt Martha a Cleaver when in the TV show she was a Bronson!

Maybe Aunt Martha married Uncle Billy.

duluthduke · 02-08-2004, 06:35 PM

I don't think they were each other's types!

evermore · 02-08-2004, 07:50 PM

Aunt Martha was like Elsa Maxwell, and Uncle Billy was more like Grandma McCoy. It would not work. dabnabit!!!!

duluthduke · 02-08-2004, 08:13 PM

A true Odd Couple indeed!

frani · 02-08-2004, 08:42 PM

They would have been good for each other, dontcha think?

junecleaver · 02-08-2004, 10:53 PM

i think in a sense they were both creepy! UGH!

I think aunt Martha getting married to anyone would make her less uptight being that she would finally "get some"! Maybe she would realize why June is always so happy!

evermore · 02-08-2004, 11:08 PM

From the Boat Builders to Aunt Martha and Uncle Billy to Aunt Martha being uptight!

LOL
