[QUOTE="Snarky Oracle!, post: 356108, member: 57984"] Oh, I see. But we're so close it in that shot, that it's hard to tell. What's funny is that in the aptly-titled 1978 episode "Reunion, Part 1" in which Bobby & Pam go to Las Vegas, they film the inside of the "Vegas" hotel inside the Dallas Hyatt. Well, that's fine, no one except locals (or Hyatt employees or tourist who'd stayed in the Hyatt) would have known the difference. Except for the fact that after using a scratchy establishing shot of the Vegas strip, they then go to a shot of Reunion Tower outside the window in an incredibly lazy attempt to pass it off as a Vegas landmark -- despite the fact that the Reunion Tower appears every week in the opening credits! In the DVD commentary, David Jacobs and Larry Hagman chortle over the unnecessary gaffe, calling it "just faking" on the part of whoever did it. (Director Irving Moore, perhaps? At least Hagman didn't snort "good!" that he'd died, as he did over Larry Elikann). I mean, I'm mostly against "sweetening" for old classic shows, but any kid with a computer today could digitally replace that shot of the tower out that window. And somebody should.
