The backdrops

Whenever Josh walks out of a building the painting of the town backdrop is so noticeable on big screen TVs. Even the ends of the streets. Reminds me of the painted background outside of the house on 'Lassie'.

This is extremely common. When a character enters a cabin from the "real" outside, you can easily see the painted backdrop through the opened door -- even on a 23" B&W set.
