Well, no toilet, but these early Laura eps; Liz says to David, "Don't you want to wash up before your mother arrives"? David says yes and he goes upstairs.

(He later tells Vicki that he even brushed his hair.)

I looked on my TVs schedule; when is it supposed to air??
Either Wed or Thurs at 10pm, right?
Because it wasn't on this week....was it something already done?

and some no-doubt dumpy (unseen) servant's room for mrs. j.
And for Ben Stokes, and Angelique (hers was upstairs, I reckon to be closer to ChJosette).

Also, we cannot forget the tower room!

I'm assuming Amy's room became Hallie's room.

But, then there's the closet that sometimes becomes a playroom.

IIRC, there's two masoleums...one, since ((Laura's)) come to town, we'll be visiting soon, and, of course the 'regular' one with lion's head secret passage.

Funny, we've mentioned how DC didn't like going over 5 actors (that's one of the questions on that Quiz Up game I've mentioned I play), but in last ep, Garner & Garner, Maggie, Vicki, Roger, Sam. Okay, that's 5. But I've been counting 6-7 ALOT of late. I know that won't last, except on occassions.

Wait...THREE masoleums....the one where Liz 'goes'.

She couldn't hold that spoiler until we've at least had a chance to watch the episodes?  Thanks so much, grrr.

THANK YOU MIDNITE....I FEEL THE SAME. Now I don't know if I want to watch it....

And, perhaps, once upon a time, if you contacted stations, they listened.

But,  I remember WRITING to ScyFi about please continue airing DS ('99-03/4), to no avail.

but making it part of the story kept viewer questions as to why only 5 or 6 rooms of such an immense mansion were being seen at a minimum.

Can you expand on this? Did anyone (specifically, first/original run) question, "Why are we only seeing 'x' amount of rooms"?

Also, and this I would believe, because we've all posted about it, how, early eps, kitchen and 'dining area' (Collinwood would have had a large dining hall).

As long as we're talking about rooms and such, it has ALWAYS bothered me that people entering the house put their coats on a table in foyer. Occassionally we see people near the door getting their coats on. Who plops a coat on a table (excluding children)??

Does anyone know when it was commonplace to have a basement?

Without modern excavators, etc., how long would it take for men to dig all that dirt out?

(My father bought a late 1800s Victorian, with a basement.)

Plus, and I have no idea, how do you keep the foundation (the bottom, where you walk, NOT the basement) up? (I'm not sure if I phrased that correctly.)

Root cellars have been around, but, since a house is not on top of them, they're strickly dirt, terra firma. Wine cellars if I'm not mistaken, are also inside 'dirt' (temperature underground I believe is always 54' F).

Since Vicki is STILL trapped in O.H., I wonder...where is the kitchen and eating area supposed to be?
Also, for 'wealthy' people, the OH only 'appears' to have the one 'living room'; I know early Americans didn't want to be associated with Europe, but, obviously larger homes were.

In O.H., there would have HAD to have 5-7 BRs; Ma & Pa Kettle (which, I'm sure everyone knows, if you weren't poor, husband & wife normally had separate BRs), Jeremiah (right?),Sarah, Barn, Aunt Abigail, and, when our friends from Martinique come a visiting, IIRC, they all stayed in OH also (I'm a little fuzzy on if Countess DuPres stayed in same room w/Chjozette).
So:
1) Joshua
2) Naomi
3) Abigail
4) Jeremiah
5) Sarah
6) Barnabas
7, 8, 9 extra rooms.

Plus, downstairs rooms for servants.

The downstairs of the house would have HAD to have 3-6 more rooms, or the house would topple over!

Ep #123, coffee shop, 1st, Maggie & Joe.

Joe: Well, let's just say Carolyn & I have crossed each other's names off our Christmas card lists. (Now, most women would say, "Oh, we're Christmas card friends"), so, that's not a huge thing.

Enter: * A blonde woman.

Joe & Maggie, still some more 'bantering'. Exit Joe.

Maggie goes up to afore mentioned * blonde woman, pours her some coffee, profers her a menu.

Blonde woman goes up to Maggie, chit-chat (really phishing), asking about Collinsport.
Then, inquires about Mrs. Stoddard, then Roger.

Maggie:.....well, let's just say he's the man mostly likely to give an imitation of Scrooge THIS CHRISTMAS.

Little bit later, Maggie: Are you here for THE HOLIDAYS?

So boys & girls, ONE holiay IS in fact mentioned 3 times in ep 123!!


* - - - DSFMS
I would have sworn the first time we see Laura is at the very end of an ep, walking up to the counter, and only at the last moment does she look toward the camera.

So, the building with the large outdoor columns are Seaview, which was in real life Carey Mansion?

Does anyone know when the Carey Mansion was built?

(That would be creepy, working on a show that shows a house, which in real life burns down, if you follow my somewhat zig-zag logic.)

Through the years, I've read what some cousins have mentioned about the exteriors (and, what real buildings they are).

Until these early eps, I never noticed/saw them.

I'm specifically mentioning shots of David going into the Old House. The columns are very high. That wasn't common until mid-1800s, was it? The columns themselves are very wide (although, this might be 'perspective', i.e., David is a boy).

Which real life building are the shots of the exterior of the Old House?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

More on Buildings:


While trying to find Victoria AGAINSTILLMORE, I think it's Burke who asks Elizabeth how many buildings are on the grounds; she says just the main house, the O.H., some sheds, (I think she says a barn, but, I could be wrong on that), and she says the caretakers house.

At it's height, there were *I believe* 3 'other' small houses on the grounds (not including main or old houses), nor Seacrest.

Am I correct, or, incorrect?

The only other time I've seen the 'early eps' was in what 2001ish (on Sci-Fy), and, I didn't pay that close attention.

(Actually, it may have been earlier, 99ish is when sci fi started doing the 1/2 hour a.m., and 1/2 hour p.m.)

Almost a year! Wish I didn't know that. I hate a lot of the charactes who will be arriving shortly....not all, just some.

a TV staging of THE CRUCIBLE

Wow! What character did he play?

I cannot for any stretch of the imagination picture T.D. in Breakfast. I just can't (again, I'm watching him as scruffy Matthew Morgan).

Very cool that so many of his current or to be current co-workers from DS were in this; it was at the same time I'm assuming...?

Where was this, Broadway?

Thanks

(I always get a kick when he calls it 'Fazebook'.)


Problem w/social media sites is, if I post, how much did John Karlen weigh (obviously, I'm not going to), the next thing posted might be about Diana Millay's grandchildren (dont' know if she has any); but, it could be:

Patti: How much did JK weigh?
Next Poster: Diana Millay's cruise on the Nile was a great time!
Next Next Poster: I've been to D. H.'s restaurant.
Next Next Next Poster: I saw on IMDb that there were 300 episodes, is that right?
Next Next Next Next Poster: I had a great time on the cruise too!
Next Next Next Next Next Poster: I'm going on the next cruise, if money allows.

etc, ad infinum, ad naseum, capice

Funny thing is, just the other day, I was the FIRST person to post about___________ (I can't remember who).

There were some trollers, but, overall, I don't think it was that bad.

What was 'worse' a lot of times was you were reading a few messages/same thread, only to notice they were from 2010! (Or older.)

If you haven't watched eps 100-200, this may be spoilage for you.


Okay, Matthew is currently hiding out at the Old House. (I had never actually seen these before.)

I won't ask how/when he 'isn't around' anymore; just, approximately how many eps between T. David as MM, and Ben Stokes?


In T. David's life, does anyone know what he was doing?

Thanks

If you mean Harry Johnson, you'll see Laura looooong before him!  [nodassent]  Laura first shows up in Ep #123, but Harry doesn't make an appearance until Ep #471...

ep 471...I guess he comes with a different party (whom we'll see again, Lev).

(Harry J was played by Craig Slocum, right?)
