I get recreating the 1969 look, but at the expense of the remnants of a perfectly good house sitting in a landfill. I was born in 1965 so I guess I watched reruns when I was older. I loved the show, but this recreation seems like such a stretch and superficial. But of course I'll continue watching.
I see your point, but that house would have ended up with a massive overhaul any way. This is partly educational, seeing all of the techniques in the recreation. But you have to understand that our generation lived this show (and a few others). That house was America's house. We haven't gotten over it and we are aging fast. We are in our late 50's and early 60's. This is the time.
I think that it will become the next dream home giveaway.
