#61: Position of the Toilet
When viewers notice a change in a scene on a TV show, they are bound to raise questions like, “Why is the painting different?” or “How did that get all the way over there?” Directors must love seeing if viewers can spot these ever-so-slight differences on the set.

In a different scene, Joey is falling asleep on the bathroom toilet positioned on the left side of the bathroom all of a sudden. Although, you’d have to watch the show over and over many times in order to notice something like that, which makes us wonder – who are the people who notice this stuff?
