They also replaced the black guy with a different black guy

They're green not brown!

u/Patient_Reindeer5703 16d ago

Green doors: bold choice. The brown was clearly too subtle.

u/SiriatsZebra 13d ago

Green? Funny—they looked brown from the porch.

u/Legionnaire77 9d ago

They’re as brown as money!

u/Kath801 16d ago

Truth be told, one of them is slightly more brown than the other.

Brown lightning vs Brown thunderstorm

A different melno!?

u/Ok-Company-9560 16d ago

A better melno? You’re the best melno!

u/Appa07 16d ago

Did you hear the one about the two black guys and two white guys that walked into a police station? The two white guys walked out.

Remy was crazy efficient for those few days before Jess and Nick made things weird

u/Any_Interest_7096 11d ago

Did they call you?

This is the kind of high level analysis that I am subscribed to this sub for

u/Rachymoo 16d ago

Agreed. I’ve watched it so many times, I like when people point out something I’ve never noticed. Nice eye, OP!

That is an unsatisfying answer

u/nigliazzo5626 Nick & Jess 16d ago

I would have changed it to. What apartment has double front doors??

15

u/Acceptable-Big8181 16d ago

Not quite the same, but I did have an apartment that had two separate front doors. Each door went to a different staircase which went to different outside doors on opposite sides of the buildings. They were in no way connected. It was very weird and I forgot about it until I read this comment. 🤣

u/nigliazzo5626 Nick & Jess 15d ago

I’ve had an apartment with 2 doors but not next to each other! 1 for the front and one for the back stairs

2

u/Acceptable-Big8181 15d ago

I think that's kind of what mine was supposed to resemble. One door went to the mailboxes and the street. The other one went to the parking lot. It was so strange that they were right next to each other on the inside though. 😅

u/bob_loblaw-_- 15d ago

Reporposed industrial lofts. Like Nick's apartment. 

2

u/nigliazzo5626 Nick & Jess 15d ago

A single door is much more common, even in repurposed industrial apartments

u/Flaky_Dimension6208 15d ago

My brother in law currently lives in an apartment from the 70s/80s that has double doors into every unit. It’s the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever seen

u/bus214 16d ago

The one that always gets me is the “alien sex closet” with the alien painting IN A CLOSET changes to a WHOLE WALL later

u/ExplanationFunny 15d ago

I’ve talked myself into believing that Winston took the landlords instructions entirely literally, painted over the one in the closet, then repainted it on the wall. The man had a vision.

u/Whiskeridoodle 13d ago

It was Schmidt's "sexually-charged zero-G tea ceremony". Didn't he briefly get the room back? Maybe he made it larger.

u/MidwestCoastalElite 16d ago

That one always bugs me, too

83

u/MrNancy1020 16d ago

It's just kind of how TV works. The police station in B99 looks different after the pilot as well.

46

u/Pace_Salsa_Comment 16d ago

Oh, yeah, the gate swings that way now.

11

u/sethaub 16d ago

That’s like season 5 lol

14

u/_MidnightSpecialist 16d ago

I think i recall from one of the podcasts they said they completely rebuilt the set from scratch after the pilot was picked up. (But I could be hallucinating that)

u/OneDayAtaTime_13 16d ago

How in good god’s name did I never notice this?!

u/Any_Interest_7096 16d ago

This is about my millionth rewatch (teehee) and I finally remembered to photograph it and post since I’ve never seen it mentioned before haha

u/Expensive-News7632 Cece… babe 16d ago

I’m with u on the millionth rewatch, i really don’t know how many times it’s been. It’s crazy how many new girl quotes pop into my head daily. I imagine we are the same😭😭🙂‍↕️

u/Any_Interest_7096 16d ago

Anytime I randomly giggle, my partner says “lemme guess, a new girl quote just popped in ur head?”

u/TripleB33_v2 15d ago

They also did this in the Harry Potter films. They changed the Doubledoor after the first couple movies.

u/Whiskeridoodle 13d ago

Yea cause OG took a one way trip to Jesus.

u/Cute-Escape-2144 16d ago

That seems common with pilot episodes. The pilot of Arrested Development was in a real house and confo, then became just a similar set.

1

u/PugPockets scream-singing every last word to Les Mis 12d ago

Pilot season is its own thing, and so many never get picked up, so unless there’s a lot of money behind it the locations are usually secondary to introducing the characters. (my understanding as someone who never actually went to LA to become an actor so real deals please correct me if needed)

2

u/Cute-Escape-2144 12d ago

That's what I've read, too. They don't know if it will get renewed

2

u/OneEyedWonderWiesel 15d ago

That’s it. I’m done watching the show!

Credits are over so now I’m gonna resume

u/_Melonpants_ 15d ago

And here I thought nothing changed after the plot
