AskMe CrossPostery. I seem to be crapping out on my AskMe question -- any 70s tv fans here who haven't seen it yet?
I could swear to you that I saw that one, because although I was 6 or 7 when re-runs of that show were on in the afternoons, sometime around the shows I preferred (like Three's Company and Bewitched), I remember wondering how tall a building it was and thinking that Cincinnati was a Big City type place with Skyscrapers. Sorry I can't help, but I thought it was funny that it's probably the only event from the show I remember at all.
I have a really vague memory of that scene - hey, it's been almost thirty years - but I did find references to it here and here, so we know you didn't imagine it.
Ha, wow. Unless my mind is tricking me, I remember seeing that episode as a kid and LOLing when the drawer flew out the window. Totally. Thanks for reminding me!
Yeah, I saw the Hulu thing, and I also get a tv channel that shows old eps; I was just hoping I could be lazy and find out which episode it was without having to go through a bunch of shows. :)
If I ever do find it, I will definitely figure out some way to get that magnificent moment (the look on Mr. Carlson's face!) digitized to share with you all.
We're working our way through the first season on DVD right now, actually. (God damn that was a hilarious show.) We have six episodes left to watch... if the drawer gets flung in any of those, I'll report back.
