Title: "Barker" Wall Question
Post by: 444dd on August 23, 2011, 12:00:39 AM: Hey everyone,
I have a question with Mike makeing so many changes to the set if he was to change the "Barker" wall what would it look like? This is what I came up with.

This is what it would look like in daytime.

DO you think they were a bit inspired by Blockbusters when they made it? Didn't it debut around 1982?

I think it was in 1982-83 or so when the hexagon Barker Wall bowed.

I know they were used until at least 1991 - I have an episode from then when they were behind a Volkswagen. They had been painted blue, with traffic signs affixed to some of the individual panels.
