IIRC, The Price is Right is still filmed in good ol' Studio 33, now The Bob Barker Studio at CBS Television City.

Well, there's no way to no for certain, but the usual list of excuses could be Maude was a couple years newer than AITF, different videotape and cameras could've been used in taping the two shows, the shows could've been handled and stored differently over the years, Sony could've used different...

By the time of the 200th episode special in '79, he appeared clean shaven and without his hairpiece and was full-on Carl Reiner bald at age 32. Genetics. What a bitch.

Oddly enough, they were back at Television City for season 1 of Archie Bunker's Place.

I didn't think AITF's early seasons looked that bad on DVD. Definitely better than what you would've seen on TV in 1971. But there's all the factors as to why it would look the way it was. First off, they shot those early seasons to look grungy, IIRC. Lear wanted black and white, and when the...

I'm in the middle of this set right now (yeah, yeah, I'm a few years behind on my watching), and there's one thing that confuses me... Why did Sony screw with the episode running orders so much? Most seasons are production order, so it seems. That isn't really a problem early on, though they...
