[QUOTE="Mel O'Drama, post: 418350, member: 23"] One thing mentioned in a couple of the audio commentaries is that on the actual set, Lou's office set at WJM isn't where it appears to be. One of the commentaries mentioned the office being on the right as the studio audience viewed it, and in his commentary, Gavin Macleod confirmed this by saying the actors had to remember which foot they'd used to step inside so they could replicate this when the scene continued in Lou's office. I have to say, I applaud how consistently well this has been done, because not only did I not spot it, my head [U][I]still[/I][/U] keeps telling me the actors, directors and writers must be misremembering. Over the course of the series they've convinced me a little too well that it's all exactly as it appears on screen. Another little titbit was that Joyce Bulifant had done a pilot with Michele Lee which he'd hoped would be Joyce's big chance to get a series. Looking into it, this appears to be [I]The Michele Lee Show [/I]from 1974. Curiously, despite her being intended to be a regular had it gone to series, IMDb says that Joyce was cut out of the pilot altogether as it ran too long. [/QUOTE]
