The hit of the show was a scene from "Fatty" Arbuckle's 1933 short, "Buzzin' Around" which had extensive shooting outdoors immediately around the studio. The girls called out readily identifiable stores, buildings, and other landmarks. Some were now bagel shops and restaurants, but the area has changed suprisingly little in 60 years. At one point, the picture was frozen and the apartment building behind Arbuckle was identified as the one we could all see out of the classroom's window.
