[lbo-talk] A scary Halloween with Sarah Palin

[B.]

Actually, that's one thing that's aways amazed me -- that the set of the Honeymooners (on b&w TV at least) looks so frankly dismal and bleak. Contrast it to today's preposterously slpendorous sitcom backgrounds (i.e. Al Bundy, a shoe salesman, with a stay at home wife, living in a two story suburban house with at least 3 or bedrooms). Even I Love Lucy had somewhat better digs -- but their apartment wasn't exactly something off Sex & the City either.
