“You gotta have blue hair!”
So, here’s an interesting bit of old school TV trivia that surprised even me:
The main living room set on “What’s Happening?!!” is the same exact set from “Sanford & Son”, without all the junk.
This reminds me of other times when shows shared sets. Let’s take a trip through the 90’s…
-The first episode of “Living Single” was in the “Family Matters” house.
-The first episode of “Hangin’ with Mr. Cooper” was in the “Growing Pains” house.
-The high school hallway/staircase used in “Saved by the Bell” were also used in “The Wonder Years” and “Power Rangers”.
-The dorm suite in “Saved by the Bell: The College Years” is the same suite used by the kids on “USA High”
-Actually, ALL Peter Engel shows recycle sets AND actors. TNBC was one big free for all. Watch any of them, and you’ll find yourself saying, “Hey, isn’t that Tony Wicks from ‘California Dreams’ standing in the middle of the ‘SBTB:TCY’ dorm room with that chick from ‘Malibu, CA’?” Trust me, if you’ve ever seen the second season of “USA High”, you know exactly what i’m talking about. Wow, I think I just referenced the most obscure shows in the Peter Engel teen dynasty. Half of the ones I mentioned didn’t last longer than 2 seasons…
Yup, I know I’m impressive….you scared yet? 😛
