Discussions with Lorenzo and Henrietta Music regarding the "look" of their interview home base and comedy sketch set included showing color sketch presentations by the production designer. After the meeting, Henrietta questioned the designer about the colors he had used in painting the pen sketches. The designer replied the colors used were because he had used the markers he had in his supply chest. His color sketches were to imply an up-beat, bright, happy and clean atmosphere for their show. A week later, at the first production meeting, the designer delivered a packet of stapled Xerox plans and drawings depicting the show's scenery, with a box of crayola to every one sitting for the meeting. After the meeting, Al Simon, the producer, remarked "neither one of them got the joke!"
In pre-production, Al Simon (show producer) asked the production designer Hub Braden to bring in some set illustrations for Lorenzo and Henrietta, to help them visualize what their show would look like! After this presentation, Henrietta stopped Hub in the office hallway, asking, "are the sets going to be that vivid in color?" In reply, Braden assured Henrietta, "the colors used in the sketches were from a pallet of 'neon colored' markers! No, the sets would be neutral beige with set lighting used to paint the scenery with a hint of color." For the first, and only production meeting for the series, Braden distributed black and white xeroxed pamphlets of the stage set plans, with cartoon set sketch illustrations for each sketch and production number. With each packet, a box of colored crayons was given to each person present. After the lengthy meeting, Al Simon said to Braden "Henrietta and Lorenzo never got the joke, did they! And they are OUR comedy team!"
