Hollywood actors would act so emotional about an old tree being cut down in some little town, but if it's the studio giving it the axe, they don't even blink.
Rick, the house you didn’t recognize (next to the Partridge House) was used as the Hecks’ home in ABC’s “The Middle”. At one point, during the “Bewitched” years, a church set stood on the site.
It looked quite different for "The Middle" - didn't have the white paint and stonework. It's visible down the street in "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation" in some of the outside scenes, though at that time it had a (fake) second story.
The church was reduced in size and repositioned.
The Heck house was also used in WandaVision.
The corner church burned down at one point, so they rebuilt it in a slightly different location.
Great catch !!
I'm glad you explained to people about thumbs down voting. It really is important to think about that before you do that. I am totally sad about these house facades being torn down...but it isn't Rick Nineg's fault. He's simply sharing the destruction with us...therefore, I am giving him a thumbs UP!
they have used most of them for like 50 years
I wish I could give a two thumbs down because I'm not a supporter of destruction.👎👎
"brianmoore6306," "I'm glad you explained to people about thumbs down voting. . . . I am giving him a thumbs UP!"
THANK YOU . . . EXACTLY.
Voting thumbs down -- because of justifiable, legitimate sadness over the destruction of these cinematic time capsules -- is as stupid as voting down on a Blu-ray or DVD of "Lethal Weapon III" or "Bewitched" seasons 1 - 4 [ed. - both 'keepers' btw] delivered by seller Amazon and the packaging was ripped and the discs inside the plastic cases got loose. Vote 'down' as a result of lousy delivery and immediate aftermath + 'up' on the actual contents, which of course is the important matter. Think about it -- anything wrong with playback? "no" Details on the printed matter accurately reflect the contents? yes.
. . . . . . .
If the photos displayed here were blurry / out-of-focus - "thumbs down." If the voiced narration was supposition, hunches, tired, untrue gossip and not information -- "thumbs down." If the tone of the narration was much too fast, barely audible or annoyingly too loud -- "thumbs down." Were the photos of interest, based on the CZcams video's title? 'yes.' Was presentation of these visual treasures on display 'rushed' or did viewers have sufficient time to absorb the pictures and stated info? They were displayed perfectly. So, "thumbs up" [ed. naturally we can click 'pause' at any time].
Muchas gracias, "Rick Nineg." I'd like to add -- in response to various statements -- that the fact much in demand, state of the art soundstages, CGI and AI buildings are the replacements. So, the condition of the facades -- whether 75-years old or two years young -- is irrelevant. What's needed, what's desperately in short supply are these specific structures. That 'trumps' feelings of nostalgia when sighting "Bewitched" or "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation" sets.
In a perfect world, a parallel universe "Bewitched"'s Samantha would wiggle her cute nose, complete with accompanying music jingle, so the acreage would DOUBLE in size. Therefore, BOTH could be useful occupants within the perimeter of Warner Bros. Ranch Facilities.
TMI -- And in the parallel universe accessible to all, Sam could wiggle her nose a second time to bring back Darrin no. 1 for seasons 5 - 8 of their "Bewitched," with Dick York's health issues totally resolved for the benefit of his quality of life and delivering wonderful performances.
@@tarasyonka6462 Since there's nearly nothing blatantly wrong with Rick Nineg's 11-minute video,"FAMOUS TV/Movie Home TOTAL Destruction at the Warner Bros. Ranch!" -- he delivered what was advertised AND in a professional manner: sight, sound, reliability of narration being true, your not-too-surprising frustration and sadness is directed in the wrong direction. It SHOULD go to the powers-that-be, the big cheese(s), the CEO at Warner Bros. corporate; cc'ing the city of Burbank.
BTW, based on your very brief description of yourself, why you'd go berserk, ballistic if you saw what Universal has nuked on its backlot.
"Thank you, 'Rick Nineg,'"
The destruction of the old trees is more disgusting….🌻🌲🪵🍀
I started my career on this lot back in the early 2000s. Some of the homes were practical. Meaning a few of them had actual rooms. The shows I worked on we filmed in the Lethal Weapon house and Small Soldiers house and they were practical. This really breaks my heart. I made life-long friends and memories here..😥😥..Thank you for the video.
That Farmer’s Daughter home looks like one of the college buildings in that later seasons of “The Middle”.
The “Partridge Family” house was most recently MeeMaw’s house on “Young Sheldon.” In the 6th season finale, the house was “destroyed” by a tornado. To facilitate this, the house was partially demolished ahead of schedule. The house originally had a “practical interior,” meaning it could be used for filming like a sound stage. Photos of the interior can be found online. The wood supports were more than likely put in place to support the remaining walls after the demolition was complete.
Exactly correct. I love "Young Sheldon," and also loved "The Partridge Family," so that "tornado damage" was "realistic," but also broke my heart!!
Time moves on we have the old shows like Dennis the Menace, Hazel, I Dream of Jeannie, Patridge Family and Bewitched among others to recall our memories of the ranch. Thanks Rick good work.
Thanks forthe video. It is sad to see the houses torn down especially the Hazel house as i watch it a lot on youtube 😊
I don’t know who produced Mork & Mindy, but they’re the first example that I saw of a show that used the front of an actual house. I saw it in Colorado when I was a kid. The house on Dallas was another one. It was the home of a house builder named Joe Duncan, in Parker, Texas. He built my childhood home and all the others around us! He was out mowing the front pasture, of his home, when some men drove up and said they wanted to use his house for a new tv show. The house is huge and has all the acreage that is shown on the tv show. Using the front of a real house is better than building these houses. Nothing to keep up or tear down! Thanks for sharing this video. It’s cool to see these houses and hear the names of the multiple shows some of them were used for.
Loved the episode of Bewitched when Samantha and Endora went to see the house before they bought it and put in all the landscaping with magic. And Mrs. Kravitz freaked out.
Yes, you can easily envision Lizzie Montgomery and Agnes Moorhead standing in that front yard today.
@@dentuttle Yes. Always loved that house.
@@dentuttleYes. I paused and thought of that same episode. One tree instead of two.
@dentuttle Oh.....but they are, but it's behind the "pearly gates " Aunt Clara and the first Mrs. Kravitz were there to greet them. The two Darrins, Uncle Arthur, Dr. Bombay and Maurice joined them all. It's a magical place. Maybe? We'll all meet them later?
Sad to see the trees destroyed. 2:39
Rick,
Thanks for the video, despite its bittersweet nature.
As a CZcamsr who provides commentary on Classic TV, your reputation relies on sharing ALL the news - good and bad alike.
It's the nature of the beast! Classic TV is tied to a business with a profit motive. Plain and simple. This might be tough medicine to take, but it's a reality we all must acknowledge. Thankfully, all these "homes" will forever be memorialized in the shows themselves.
Subs: Please give this video a Thumbs Up (not Down). Rick is just doing his job, which is why we love him and keep coming back.
Be hopeful!
Thanks so much Paul! You are awesome!
There was was an episode of the Donna Reed Show had her protesting the town cutting down the tree in front of her house. Ironic!
Ohhh no... I can't watch the Bewitched house like that..!! 😢😦☹
They did a good job making the Bewitched house look real. I always liked the inside set too.😢
The interior set was used in the film/show Brian's song..
I had always noticed that with the Bewitched house. Whoever the set designer was did an excellent job with matching the various rooms on the sound stage to how the exterior house looked. Many shows' sets do not do that.
Would love to see the actual home in Santa Monica - inside and out! ❤
@@BeanieScooter what do you mean, they had two?
The Bewitched house was always my favorite followed by The Brady Bunch house. My least favorite was probably the "I Dream of Jeannie" house which was bland and boring inside to me.
The Bewitched house was also used in Christmas Vacation. It was Clark's boyhood home in the old home movies. It's also visible at the end of the block from their family house in several shots.
Where uncle Lewis took a swipe at little gris!! Hahha
One of my all time interiors was Bewitched. That was a fantastic setting. Living room, kitchen, the den, dinning room, even the backyard.
AGREE!
Memories I grew up with many of these homes
I feel the same way. It's where many of us grew up.
The house you didn't know what it was used for looks like the home from The Middle, it was located right across the street from the Bewitched house.
The bewitched house was also the Donahue's home in The Middle and was used in Gidget as well.
They should’ve made it a tourist attraction. It would’ve made a lot of money!
I don't know why fans didn't petition the city to turn that area into a Historical Site.
It's so sad though. At least the floorplans can be downloaded online if you ever want to build your own.
I'd LOVE to have the Bewitched house.
It's WB property. It doesn't belong to the city.
Historic buildings only apply to "buildings". These were all facades and not eligible to qualify for any historic status. This was all on private property as well. People did try, but there is nothing legally anyone could do.
There were no floor plans. They were facades.
If the real home in Santa Monica ever goes up for sale, I'd love to see the inside layout! Heard it's just reversed of the Bewitched one.
Yes-It should have been saved. I guess no one cares anymore. Really sad.
Similar to the double fronted houses, at the NBC Studios in Burbank, the exterior set for Salem Place, the outdoor shopping center set for "Days of Our Lives" had (I don't know if it's still there) a small six sided building, with each side having a different door with a different store name on it. This gave the illusion, when seen on TV, that there were all these different stores.
It's sad. But we will have to remember these homes, (that aren't homes) when we see these old shows. They aren't safe if they are rotting away. Time marches on. It's amazing they lasted that long. Thanks Rick 😊 👍
The Heck house
Ominous K marks houses
It was an amazing video
Thank you so much
It’s always unfortunate to see houses torn down that have been in various films and shows. Keep up the great work Rick, take care!
Thanks, will do!
At least we have film prints of the old "homes" like Bewitched and one next door -- Giget and Hazel used it among others. Needless to say this would have happened one day. Still sad to see. Thanks for the final look at them!
Man. So sad to see. Especially for me personally the I Dream Of Jeannie and Bewitched houses. Two of my favorites.
A sad and momentous time for all us fans 😔
Yea-It sucks. I can't believe it...
The Bewitched house should've been moved to the Smithsonian.
It is certainly sad to see these "homes" torn down as they hold so many memories for most of us, but at least we'll forever have their legacy in all the old shows we still love watching.
I saw a documentary on the Luxor in Vegas and the architect said, "Vegas is like a movie set. Nothing here is built to last a hundred years." That's why hotels change so often there.
Remember the Bewitched episode when Samantha takes the lead in saving the local childrens park from demolition. With a twitch of her nose she makes the bulldozers malfunction.. I would love to see if the demolition equipment have any issues while tearing that house down...🤔😄✨✨🌠⚡🌠🌌
It’s already demolished last I checked.
That is a beautiful thought.
This brings back bittersweet memories of my last trip to Warners Studio.
I'm sorry they cut down all the trees.
Anything for money I guess. If you or I did it we'd be fined. Ridiculous.
Appreciate this video as this represents an era gone; we don't want to think of the fake facades as we made the shows real in our hearts; thankfully we have the films of these dear shows most being re-done in HD.
So sad to see! I do understand the reasoning but wish somehow they could have saved some of the famous ones like especially bewitched house! 😢
@cdw1961 The actual home used for Family Matters was demolised a few years ago!🏠😢🙆🤷♀
It’s just like anybody else’s real home. You don’t terret down you fix it up. That’s all they had to do is just fix it up. They’re just cheap and didn’t want to spend the money the CEO and the other guy in charge of Warner Bros. all they care about is their bonuses and bottom line and Want everything new. They’re tearing down everything to build new studios. I’m not even going to tell you what I hope happens to them once they build them.
Mystery home was used in THE MIDDLE ?
Correct! 👍🏻
I was an extra on The Middle and filmed on that lot in a church they had there. The outside looked like a church and inside it was set up for us to film with pews, stained glass, a pulpit. I was a little surprised because usually they just have a facade and the actual interiors are built in a soundstage. The buildings you showed aroud the 9:20 mark were the extras "holding area" as they would call it. They set up a bunch of folding chairs and a few tables. Some water, fruit, crackers etc and we would all just hang out there in between our scenes.
The Bewitched house was also shown in "Christmas Vacation" in the old film Clark Griswold was watching while trapped in the attic! Sad to see these homes being taken down - but they kept them for much longer than we would expect to see them last.
Hey guys and gals-- enjoy the memories. The houses weren't real. But, we had a good time
Great follow up video on the loss of these facades. I use the term facades, because as you reminded us, these were not real homes. Our loss comes not from these empty fronts, but from the screen, when watching what we believed in our hearts to be true became etched in our memories as reality, a reality that never truly existed.
Well said!
The first _Blondie_ movies used a house in Studio City for exterior shots, Columbia then built the replica which was used for the later movies.
The _Bewitched_ house is based on a house in Santa Monica (but it's reversed left to right) that was used in the first _Gidget_ movie. Columbia built the replica intending to use it for later _Gidget_ movies but instead used it for Bewitched. When _Gidget_ became a TV series, _Bewitched_ was already in production so they used the _Hazel_ house, next door.
_The Partridge Family_ house (also the home of Gladys and Abner Kravitz) was based on the Sears Roebuck "Glenn Falls" house plan. It was later drastically changed for _Life Goes On_ .
The _Christmas Vacation_ house was also used in _American Beauty_ and _Wandavision_ ; it and the one-story brick house beside it were built in the 80s in place of the former Deed's mansion (from _Mr. Deeds Goes to Town_ ). The Deed's mansion was later used as a school, library and other various public buildings.
The park in the center of the backlot featured a swimming pool and the fountain seen in the opening credits of _Friends_ .
Most of the houses were "practical sets" meaning they had interior rooms (the _Blondie_ house served as offices for many years), an exception is the _Bewitched_ house which was only a facade due to the shallow lot.
Would LOVE to see the interior of the Santa Monica 'Bewitched' home if it ever goes on sale!
The house you mentioned being for the Waltons wasn't their actual house but might have been used for someone else on the show like the Baldwin sisters! Hazel was all over the neighborhood by the bewitched house and even in the final season where she and Harold Baxter were supposed to be living with George Baxter's brother they still shot around the same area because you could see the house in the background! Same thing with some of the exterior shots in The Partridge Family!
I agree Rick. You don't deserve any thumbs down and negativity when you are just covering the story. You aren't the head honcho making the call to destroy these homes. Don't take it out on the messenger. Excellent video though Rick 💯
Thanks to the Lord Beerus!
Great video! It’s kinda sad but it was really only luck that it was still there. Thanks for the update Rick!
Thanks for watching!
First of all, the people who are giving this video a thumbs down because they don’t like the fact that these homes are being destroyed are completely stupid. I gave you a thumbs up because I thought this video was *excellent.*
Quite a bit of the information you give here is stuff I didn’t know. A lot of it I did already know, but you definitely filled in some blanks. Seeing the Partridge Family house almost completely demolished and what’s left of it being propped up by 2x4’s is something I had no idea they did.
So sad to see this vestige of Americana being erased and flushed down the memory hole. I feel like it’s a symbol of what’s happening to America right now.
Also, the house you were unable to identify (if no one’s already mentioned it) is from “The Middle.”
Lastly, another thing I love about your video is that it’s fairly brief. Your narration was excellent, and the way the video was formatted encourages 100% engagement. It was worth watching all the way through, worth giving a thumbs up, and definitely worth leaving a comment. Well-done 👍
Excellent adding Michael being credited for the pictures.
Of course. These are all his Pics. Giving credit is important
@@ricknineg yuppers give credit where it's due.👍
A lot of history disappearing but these got a ton of use over the years - Christmas Vacation came out in 1989, many of those were from much earlier than that like you mentioned so they served their purpose. At least they survived this long - the apartments from Friends and Mad About You, the hospital from House, the bridge from Star Trek The Next Generation - these were all gone a long time ago after about 7-10 years of use, torn down once the show was done.
What you said about the front and back facade being different is interesting. One of the western towns(think it is the one they willed Tombstone at) is the same - your main street is the typical western town, one street over is a different style of western town to allow you more options when filming. And it makes sense because you never really see people walking up and down streets, around the block, etc so all you really need is one street made, next one over can be totally different.
Thanks for sharing! That was a trip to see.
Glad you enjoyed it!
A good video showing alot of heartaches for we the fans who have watched shows that used one or more of these facades. It is good that it is being documented as it is torn down though.
It's just a very sad thing to see......
The one house you asked about looks like the house used in The Middle?
It is. So much of the houses and buildings were used in The Middle.
Omega Man….
Fantastic movie!!!
Keep doing what you love Rick!! Great job!!
Thanks a bunch!
The house you didn't know was the "Heck's" house on "The Middle". The Bewitched house was also in that series as the "Donahue's" house.
Thank you for giving us this final chapter on our favorite tv homes! I always love watching the old shows! I've also, over the years, enjoyed spotting these house facades pop up on different shows and movies, almost expecting to see a familiar character emerge! One house missing here was the Munster house. I wonder if it still exists?
The Munster house is at Universal Studio next to the Leave it to Beaver house. Both still there as far as I know, but the Munster house has changed a bit. All the yard growth is gone.
Glad you enjoyed it!
So sad -many happy memories of Our childhood -GONE.
Thanks Rick for being my eyes and ears. I feel sad but I can not stand ìn the way of progress onward and upward. God Bless.
Thank you for this!
Adam The Woo has done the most comprehensive videos on the Lot . They've torn everything down in Time for the Next Great Depression .
Yes, I’ve mention Adam making videos on the lot before
This was so cool yet so sad. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for watching
Would have been nice to procure a piece of one of those. To hold in one's hand a piece of that home while watching the show it belonged to. 🙂
I know, I had the same thought.
The thing to bear in mind is that you never saw these homes when the shows were running. You saw the shows. Those shows are still around, on film and videotape. Tearing down the facades doesn't erase what you saw.
Hey Rick
Tough as it may be, it is good to document and share these places.
Take care😊
Those set builders are amazing.
Thanks for showing the picutures and giving the explanations of how things work. I have always wanted to see these things, but never make it to an area I would consider "Hollywood".
Fewer movies and TV shows shot in California these days, I think. That land is needed for strip malls and golf courses.
You can see the "Omega Man" house in the opening sequence of "Friends" when the are posing around the fountain. it goes with that New York look that was mentioned.
Great work, Rick! So interesting. A bit of a bummer about the Bewitched house, but as you said, these all were standing for so long. Really interesting vid.
Many thanks!
The Beweitched home was also on Hazel, next door to the Baxters home and was used in a few episodes and as the character Harry Knoll's home when he bought it next to Mr. Baxter, they were partners in the Law firm.
Very interesting! Thank you.
The Bewitched house was also used as Agatha/Ralph Bohner's house in Wandavision.
Thanks for the video. That is progress. Maybe the new buildings will get their place in modern shows.
I appreciate your work bro.
I appreciate that
You can see the New York buildings in the background on the opening of "Friends" when they're cavorting in and around the fountain (which I hear was moved to the main studio lot).
Excellent and interesting presentation. Thank you for sharing this.
Thank you too!
If you look at I Dream of Jeannie, in certain a certain episode (might be more than just one episode) you can see the Bewitched house down the street.
I believe the exterior of the Bewitched house was used for the Gale Sayer's house in Brian's Song.
Definitely, this is the Partridge family home. I am surprised that after fifty-three years, the kitchen still has its sunshine/mustard color. I guess the inside of the home wasn't used after the show was canceled. The nine-window door led to the garage where they would rehearse.
Warner Brothers purchased the lot from Columbia Pictures.
Blondie Street was developed for the successful adaptation of the newspaper comic strip Blondie. Columbia reinvested the profits generated by Blondie into expanding the lot. Penny Singleton played Blondie. She went on to voice the character of Jane Jetson.
they didn't actually film inside of the Partridge house did they? I thought they had a separate stage for that?
@@ChristhirtythreeAD I base my point on the color palette of the kitchen, the door, and the fireplace. They all look screen-used. I heard that some of the homes on the lot were capable of being used for interior filming.
They used a kitchen setting a lot in the final season. If I recall correctly, the kitchen door was a Dutch door. They would leave the bottom closed, and on at least one occasion, Rueben leaned inside over the lower part of the door to deliver his lines.
@@johndavis3921 It would be great to know if they actually did film inside. I see how you came to that conclusion. You may be right. Too bad we can't ask Danny Bonaduce.
Hey Rick and everybody! If you want to not only see the redressed Bewitched house and a cool model of it, I just caught an episode of the Sebastian Cabot hosted show "Circle of Fear/Ghost Story" from 1972 titled "House of Evil" with Richard Mulligan and Jodie Foster. They not only live there but the grandfather gives her a doll house replica to play with as well!!
Adam The Woo went inside a bunch of these houses on his channel. The Lethal Weapon house still has scorching in the upstairs from the bathroom explosion scene.
Thanks for giving us 'Closure' on their fate, otherwise there'd be a lot of Urban Legends regarding "Whatever Happened to these famous TV Homes..." 6:50 Somehow I find it funny to connect Hazel and the Baxters to "Lethal Weapon".
I'm surprised that no one caught the Bewitched house in the last 2 episodes of WandaVision. The exterior had a minor alteration that replaced the back hallway door with a basement entrance.
When I look at the Ranch on google maps, it's not a large property.
House from TV show The Middle was right before bewitched house I believe
Ahh yes, too new of a show to be on my radar
Hey Rick, I don't like what they're doing but I understand it!!! It's bittersweet but hey, life goes on!!! Thanks for sharing this informative video!!! 👍👍🙂
The “Hazel” and “Lethal Weapon” house was also the exterior for “Gidget” in the mid-1960’s.
I designed Christmas Vacation
We demolished the set from Mr Deeds Goes to Town to build the Griswold House
The Lethal Weapon house was on the right of the Griswolds
We had to disguise it so that it could play as the Neighbors House
Steve Marsh
Amazing!
Of course nostalgia leads to mixed feelings, but architecture changes and they would have to make room for newer styles of houses at some point. At least we don't have to see these fall apart and slowly rot away.
They won’t build more homes. They will be giant sound stages with green screens and artificial intelligence technologies
@@ricknineg you are absolutely correct. With green screen technology now, all you need is the front door frame for the actors and then you can project the rest of the house in post production. No need to have the facades anymore.
Dennis the Menace was a Screen Gems production, filmed here at the Columbia Ranch. There was even a crossover episode with Donna Reed.
So many of the structures were re-built for one reason or another, drastically changed, or taken down and replaced altogether. For me, Blondie street, is that "horseshoe' shaped street, the pool, the park, and the fountain.
I enjoy finding locations, I was looking for the BigLove on HBO, Homes. The story was they knocked down the side fences and built a pool in the middle yard the home they used only had a 12’ deep back 😅yard and the pool was built as part of the studio set. So the could shoot night shots any day great show.
Sorry to see it go and thanks for showing us
You bet
I lived in L.A. for over 10 years and found a lot of historical sites in reference to Hollywood were knocked down and destroyed instead of preserved which is very sad. To this lot, if they torn them down to make a new building for a movie, it would have been nice if they set an area up where they can keep the old buildings for tourists and future use, but they torn them down for an ugly studio destroying a piece of their history and they are not the only ones who have done it over the ages. It is sad, but it's a business that only looks at profit not on preserving.
Warner Bros. could have easily kept a portion of Blondie Street, had it designated as historical, and it would been a fine tourist attraction and revenue generator. Instead, they cut down 100-year-old trees and almost 90 years of movie and television history. Inexplicable.
I'm so sad to see these houses torn down but they weren't built to last a long time and I'm sure they haven't been maintained like real homes. It's always fun to spot these familiar houses in the background shots of other movies and TV shows.
Yeah. The fact they lasted and were used this long is a miracle....😂
I wish my garage looked as good as these facades!
Rick the prop house you didn't know much about was used as the Heck house from the TV series "The Middle". The series filmed over 200 episodes on the WB Ranch block and used several of those houses and the gas station building. In one of the last episodes of the "Young Sheldon" series a tornado destroyed the Grand Mothers house which was also on that block, right next to the Heck house I think. I was surprised at the destruction showed during that episode and now that I know they intended to tear it down anyway it makes sense.
Thanks for sharing. It’s sad, however. ❤
So sad
The house @5:15 was used in The Middle, Eerie Indiana, and Moving. It's known on the lot as The Bell Aire house.
The home you didn’t recognize is from ‘The Middle.’ Also, the brownstone was use as Wonder Woman’s apartment. She even jumped out of the window on one episode. I grew up watching these “homes” on television. I’m sad to see them go. 😢
Ahh yes. The show is too new for my classic eyes
@@ricknineg it was a great show. One of my favorites.
Some of the "bricks" on the fronts of buildings were actually just painted styrofoam.
Yup, exactly! As mentioned in the video, the materials shown are not the ones used to make them
My own sadness comes from those trees being pulled down…the house shells are just that - shells of buildings.
The beige brown home is from The Middle it was blue also you can see all the iconic homes in a lot of the shows throughout the seasons of The Middle that street is preserved in that sitcom
5:18 TV show THE MIDDLE last used it. It was blue at the time. There's actually a video out about how they used the outside and the inside of one of the studios and juxtapose them for the story. On Google Earth you can still see the layout of this property and get to street view and inside some of the practical sets. You see a lot of the neighborhood on Bewitched and The Middle the park, and Sheila's house actually stuood in for college and I know the fountain is gone but that was the famous Friends fountain right there in front of New York Street. And you didn't mention the built-in pool that was in many movies and TV shows.
