[QUOTE="Mel O'Drama, post: 417993, member: 23"] I saw my first hint of this in the [I]8 Characters in Search of a Sitcom [/I]bonus feature from the Season Two DVD set. Someone (either Betty, Cloris or perhaps Valerie) made a passing comment about Ted and Ed occasionally going at it, though no context was given. At an hour long, it was a decent extra actually, and up there with [I]The Making Of The Mary Tyler Moore Show [/I]from the Season One DVDs. I also thoroughly enjoyed [I]Mary On Sunday, [/I]which was a contemporaneous report on the making of the Season Three title sequence. I've watched the extensive B-roll footage of this shoot on YouTube, but preferred watching with the added narration and context in the report. It's so much fun to see how the crowd was utilised. Something I found eye-opening was that the studio as a rule didn't pay to film shots of people's property, but were in negotiations to pay the woman who owned the MTM house as she was understandably peeved that the house was attracting unwanted attention from stalker-ish fans and people wanting photographs and souvenirs. As she was interviewed talking about her complaints, we were given shots of the house covered in ugly banners and "Impeach Nixon" signs, hung up deliberately to ensure the house wasn't re-filmed for the new titles. I assume negotiations fell through at this point. :D [/QUOTE]
