Lucille Ball - model

 While searching through the Library of Congress I found this gem.  Lucy Ball as a model! This is from 1947.  It's been noted that Elois Jenssen made many of the outfits that Lucy wore!

The Donna Reed Show - Dining & Livingroom

The Stone house changed over time.  They did change the dining table.  One day it's oblong and then it's round.  They added a hutch to the wall.  Somedays the swinging door that lead to the kitchen is open and sometimes closed.

Fun facts about Bewitched


Here are some facts about the TV series Bewitched.  If you know any facts, please comment them in the comment section.  Seems there are many facts about the show all over the net.

The Donna Reed Show - Kitchen

The Donna Reed show was a great show!  The show was on the air from 1958-1966. 

 The Donna Reed Show was the first half-hour sitcom to focus on the mother instead of the father.    

The show's main characters were Donna Reed as Donna Stone.  Carl Betz as Dr. Alex Stone.  Paul Peterson as Jeff Stone and Shelly Fabares as Mary Stone. And later added Patty Peterson as Trisha Stone.  She was on from 1963-1966.  She is the real life sister of Paul Peterson.  

Shelly Fabares left the show in around 1963 to pursue other acting opportunities.  She returned periodically through 1966.  Shelly is also a singer and has released some vinyl's!


Between Donna and Mary I'm not sure who talked more, but both seem to have a lot of long lines!

Bewitched first house!

 Samantha's first house was in episode 1 and 2.  The kitchen was nice size and had an island sink with a freestanding dishwasher at the end of it.  A double oven in the wall and a stove top in an alcove.  It also had a green washing and dryer in it's own little area in the kitchen.  The refrigerator is next to the door going outside.

The Dick Van Dyke show basement



After reading around the web, I noticed there were many comments about the rock in the basement.  I saw an episode where Buddy's brother came to town.  He was a hustler and played pool with Rob.  Well I was baffled when I found out Rob had a pool table, and guess what it was in the basement. Rob stated in one episode that he couldn't fit a full size pool table in the basement because of the rock!  But I remember the episode of the rock in the basement of one of the houses when Rob bought both houses in Your Home Sweet Home Is My Home.
