From: "Jon Gabriel" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>Hey! Question.. is the Bunker's address a real one? 704 Houser(sp?). In early episodes, they mention that the welcome mat on the Bunker's door lists the house as belonging to "The MacNabbs". I wonder if this is a nod to the original family who lives in the house...

I meant to say, they lived in Glendale, which is about 20 minutes from
where I live by car.
Which reminds me, "704 Houser" was the title of yet another spinoff of "AitF". I think it lasted like, 3 episodes? Late '90s. The premiere episode, which I saw, included a visit by Joey Stivic. The Bunker's house was supposedly occupied then by an african-american family. Boy, what would Archie say...
More weird trivia:(Yeah, I think too much....)
No! It's stream of consciousness at its' best. ;-)
TNG, DS9 and Voyager episodes are great for those little minutiae.ST: TNG and subsequently DS9's writers had a running gag where they would insert the number 47 into their scripts.
Like the old GNDN reading on Jefferies tubes.. "Goes Nowhere, Does Nothing". I wonder if they're still labeling tubes GNDN in "Enterprise".
You can always spot something odd, placed in the background of almost any scene in any of these shows, and you go, "wait, isn't that...??" You can always tell that those little things are there for fun.
Like the bottles in Quark's Bar, which were used in TOS, or Andrew Probert's designs in Picard's ready room. Or in Generations, very briefly, when Kirk passes in front of his fireplace, (you'll have to freeze-frame it to see it) you can see a production shot of TOS's Enterprise, proudly displayed along with a Bat'leth.. go figure.
