The home that the family lived in was owned by a real family, and they were adamant to keep the home and its grounds looking amazing. Although the show ended years ago, the mansion has still stayed true to its beauty all these years later. The house actually went up for sale not too long ago, and ended up being sold for a whopping $350 million. We’re going to guess that whoever bought it was a huge fan of this classic show.

Mattel’s Mistake
The creators at Mattel weren’t about to miss out on the popularity of the show. The company came out with a doll that looked just like the character Elly May, and fans went wild for it.

Donna Douglas actually sued Mattel for creating the doll without her consent, and it was all settled out of court.
