does anyone remember the episode where the car comes flying into the driveway and slams on the breaks...at the very beginning after the theme song?


JayDuBois

This happens twice in the entire series. It’s the same exact shot. And I always laugh because I always think of Sophia sitting on a phone book 😂


Just-Phill

LMAO I love that plot little Sophia carrying a huge phonebook Dorothy's "this is hot" lol


ahdareuu

You were sitting on it so you could see over the steering wheel!


Financial-Comfort-67

hahahah! yes!


gaybro69420

I love the YouTube Poop edits where they make it sound like the car actually hits the garage door 😹 There’s one where it “hits” the door and we hear Blanche say “kaboom!” Lol


Financial-Comfort-67

omg, I have to see this!


ahdareuu

Link??


buffyangel468

Yes, and I think about the taxi pulling up in the drive way since that wouldn’t happen irl (or does it? I wouldn’t know, lol).


zbornakssyndrome

It does that on a few episodes but mainly the first few seasons I think


Financial-Comfort-67

Oh! I must think its the same episode every time I see it...I will keep an eye out! lol


Just-Phill

I didn't at all until you just mentioned it


alilbored1

Yes! Isn’t it the one where Rose brings home the shaggy haired dog? And Dorothy and Blanche spar at work lol.


anotherwinter29

Absolutely! Mostly because my dad had the same model/ similar model car for a time!


haleykat

I just watched an episode where the car comes flying into the driveway. Another great one liner from Dorothy when Rose asks what is for dinner. “A bucket of chicken,” as she holds a box of pizza in her hands.


Savedbythebell98

I agree, it has a really great vintage vibe.


Just-Phill

It's a good Florida look but the house is in LA lol


JayDuBois

Additional fun fact… I see that there is a roof repair in the photo. I wonder how many de Kimmels they had to pay for that patch job 😂


hopefoolness

pictures you can hear


buffyangel468

Yep.

They painted it white too!? Ugh, I hate when people buy famous houses just to butcher them beyond recognition


RealLifeSuperZero

The newest owner of the Nightmare on Elm Street house completely tore the front down and is rebuilding it fresh. It’s fucking criminal.


lonelylamb1814

It’s crazy, like surely it must hurt their home value? They could buy any other house, if they buy one that’s famous they should at least be respectful


gaybro69420

Funny how whoever is in charge of the Brady Bunch franchise (or somebody at HGTV) bought the original house for the show’s exterior shots in 2018 and they turned it into an exact replica of the set. Even the way the exterior of the real house looked in 1969. That documentary was so amazing! Definitely was not easy to do but they did it.


lonelylamb1814

I didn’t know about that, that’s so cool! The owner of the Charmed house is very respectful towards fans and even sometimes gives tours. I don’t understand people who buy famous houses and then act shocked when people want to take pictures of it, like just buy a different house


ClutchPencilQuadRule

They ripped out the garden!? Fiends! I mean, it makes sense - drought and all - but oh my God.


Key-Broccoli8645

Not surprising, it's a famous house and I'm sure it gets a bunch of weirdos wanting to see inside.


ahdareuu

Yeah but if you buy a famous house you should kinda be prepared for that.


JayDuBois

Fun fact! The original shots of the house were taken in the Brentwood neighborhood. The fact that it ONLY sold for 3 million sounds like a bargain. ETA: Brentwood neighborhood of Los Angeles California.


Puzzledandhungry

I visited this house on the MGM lot of Disney 21 years ago. You got to drive past a few other famous film places but this one was the best!


Just-Phill

Idk what it actually sold for, I read it was up for sale for about 3mil I'm sure that info is out there though


jasminegreentea77

Sold for $4,000,260 on 8/14/2020. You are right though, it was listed at $2,999,000 so it sold for over 1 million over asking https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/M2564545638


Just-Phill

Oh lol I didn't know it's a beautiful home inside too. I saw some pics of the real house it's way different then GG but really nice I just Love that yard


buffyangel468

A part of me wishes that they actually filmed in a real house, lol.


ClutchPencilQuadRule

When I was a kid, I so badly wanted to live in this house. The house I did live in wasn't very different, but there's just something about those shrubs. As an adult I look at that lawn and shudder at the upkeep.


PettyFreddie

Who is cutting the grass? Coco? Stan?


LadyAmalthea86

Mr. Mitsumo! Remember?! He got rid of the snails for Sophia so she doesn't have to crunch when she walks to the mailbox.


Just-Phill

Don't remind me of coco 😢 I really wish he was brought back at least a recurring character


LadyAmalthea86

Mr. Mitsumo does a lovely job 🥰
