I've just been watching The Woman and noticed that the paneling in John Boy's literary classroom bore a striking resemblance to the paneling in the Baldwin ladies' foyer. Aside from the traveling Waltons coffee pot (which ended up not only in the Walton's kitchen, but also in Sheriff Bridges' office and (I think) the Rudge's kitchen), what other set pieces can you all think of that were magically teleported to other various locations?

Well I got one that not only went to a different time, but a different show.
The sergeant's office in Adam 12 is the same office where JB signed over his 10 acres. Neither show used glass in the windows.

That is actually not uncommon for the Arts department to reuse items. Their thought process is that you would be more focused on the actors and the situation rather than the background.

Very glad you said this !! -- with all my years working on the production side of stage, tv, and film, I have tried to explain this on the forum -- mostly when bloopers are stressed.... it is seldom the "failing" of the production crew or even the actors, directors, etc..... this sort of stuff is not a priority at all, and shouldn't be .... With so many moving parts, so many balls in the air, keeping the actors on their game, getting good shots, all the way to final editing -- this is where the focus rightfully belongs.... and the audience should be totally involved in the story, not even noticing the small stuff..... If the production has not achieved this goal, there's something wrong....

It doesn't necessarily mean that something is wrong. If a viewer notices those things the first time he watches an episode, or even the second or third, then perhaps something is wrong. But when a viewer has seen these episodes dozens of times and can watch one episode after another in succession whenever he wants to, then it becomes more likely that he will notice those small details. I have never noticed any of these things, by the way. I am not a very observant person when it comes to visual details. I am much more likely to notice sounds. I often recognize an actor who appears in different roles by his voice before I recognize his face. I rarely sit down and "watch" TV. I'm always working on something else at the same time, because I can follow the story just by listening to it. It probably has something to do with my visual impairment.

I guess I didn't go far enough...... there is nothing wrong with Walton fans noticing various little things when viewing the episodes over and over..... that's normal, and frequently fun to comment on..... My only problem is when people ignorant to the ways of production teams somehow place "blame" on the crew, director, etc..... sometimes members have asked WHY didn't the crew notice this or that.... So, I'm trying to explain the focus.
When watching any production initially, if the little things get noticed, then, yes, the show is not accomplishing its goal and something is definitely wrong.... the audience has not been captured.

You are welcome. I grew up in the movie industry. Retired from it 10 years ago when I had to start taking care of my husband. I actually liked working in the Art department and the Ward robe department. It even had it perks. I still have clothes left over that were given to me after we did our final wrap in the "Tremors" TV show. Heck just a couple days ago I was reminded of those days when I ran across 5 shirts I had forgotten completely about. They were worn by Michael Gross. I thought they would fit my husband but the sleeves were too long. Michael wears a Large Tall and my husband wore a Large Regular. They were tucked away in the back of one of our closets. LOL! Now I am debating on whether I should keep them or give them to Goodwill.

I've hung on to quite a few souvenirs.... but I think the greatest "perk" is the opportunity to work on interesting projects and bring them to fruition, as well as the camaraderie and closeness of the entire company, all the wonderful people.... an extremely broadening experience..... hard to imagine anything more absorbing.... maybe working in an ER....

I totally agree. There was nothing like the "family" feeling working in the film industry. When I had to quit it, I actually went into a mild state of depression because it was like I was leaving home again. I still to this day miss it. but I know I can never go back to it totally. They still make movies now and then in this area. Gunny and I were in one not long ago. See if you can find us in the credits. LOL Also here is a photo of Gunny taking a break in the Arts department between shots. No. He is NOT spoiled at all! LOL

I wonder what ever happened to that coffee pot?

the coffee pot was probably sold on eBay! Just kidding around. There is someone on eBay that sells what they say are props from the show. However there is no way for them to prove it!
