PERANIO: So this is the auto show.

The entrance...

...all the people picketing...

...and where we were gonna put the cars...

...the round turntable, the stage--

Actually the stage became in the middle, it didn't go in the corner...

...because the Corny Collins set was there.

That's another little version...

...0f our '60s car showroom.

Now, some of these might be- Oh, this was a fun one.

This was ideas for the throne.

I went with this one.

My brother built it just out of metal, and that's with a side view.

But, you know, it's just different possible...

Now, I don't know what's all in here, so...-...

All right, here's another set. This was a club room basement.

A 'SOs club room, it was Nadine's club room.

There was a big scene in here and it was cut out.

And it was one of my favorite little sets that never, ever got to get seen.

And that set, we moved and set up five times...

...because we-- All right, this was the first idea for the Corny Collins Show.

This was the rollercoaster for their ad, their dance area, the Corny Collins setup.

The modeling commercial...

...the little seating camera moving around.

Oh, there's our little seating area...

...and that's conversation corner...

...and that's when I got the idea for the stars and the names.

This was the little Hefty modeling platform.

And then that's the Corny Collins setup.

TV station logos.

We didn't use any of these though.

This was on the front of the little hits of the week.

Now this- Again, Patti Figgs did all the...

All the graphics.

She's been doing this for us, with us, for years and years.

That's just a part of that Hefty Hideaway thing.

And the rollercoaster.

And then this was...

This was their house with the big spiral staircase...

...and this was a water fountain.

I mean, waterfall kind of thing.

Here's another version of it...

...how it turned out.

I love this room. That was a great little set.

Now it's another view of that room.

That was an original--

The first idea--

Well, it was the first idea, and then this is how it turns out.

You know, so it gives you an idea of how you start...

And at this point, was before I looked at it for any furniture, anything like that...

...and then, as we find things, it becomes clearer and clearer.

Beatnik house.

And that's a little photo thing of what it looked like.

And all those were sets.

Then, this was the Corny Collins Show...

...when they went to the amusement park, which was Dorney Park in Pennsylvania.

And this was Penny's room.

Penny Pendleton...

...was permanently punished.
