The Broken Elevator

[PapSmear081]

Do you think the elevator will ever be fixed? I don't as the discussions that take place on the stairs are a big part of the show.

No, I think it is a very cleaver plot device.

When you think about it, they are getting allot for their money with the sets they have developed. Two rooms and a stairwell that can be reproduced to act as 3(?). With the addition or removal of caution tape and cardboard signs.

It should be fixed as the last thing in the final episode of the season, as a weird sort of finale cliff-hanger.

then in the first ep of season 2, sheldon or one of the other 3 can break it trying to make it better or something.

Another idea (that my mother had actually, she enjoys the show as well), is that they all need to fix the elevator either as a finale plot/hanger, or at the end of the season two opener, and then have an episode where they all get stuck together. (perhaps this will give a chance for Raj to get over his neurosis, at least where Penny is concerned).

As far as production costs go, it won't make much difference, as you would still only need the ground floor set + 1 other generic floor. The only addition would be the 6x6 foot box for them to enter into, and money would be saved, seeing as they wouldn't need to worry about changing the signs and purchasing more "CAUTION" tape.

but you'd have to build an elevator

What I meant is. they get several floors for the price of one. And talking in a stair way is way cooler than standing still in an elevator as it goes up.

No, you'd just replace the empty shaft with a box, its doesn't have to move, you'd just have 1 upstairs and 1 ground floor.

Fair point about the stair being cooler tho.
