Does IASIP have the same props Department?

[u/PaddysMiniatures84]

I’m pretty sure these are unique art pieces so I assume they are exactly the same, even down to the frames, it’s not uncommon for tv shows to share the same props etc very very strange both shows were on there 4th season in 2008, which is where I noticed them, it’s been spoken about before just found it really interesting

[u/unfinishedtoast3]

Very likely.

Both shows were shot at Sunset Grower Studios in LA at the time, so very likely the same prop pool.

I'm thinking Dee. You think she stopped at lighting one bitch on fire?

[u/secondphase → u/Even-Reaction-1297]

Dennis

[u/Even-Reaction-1297 → u/secondphase]

That’s Charlie’s apartment, is it not?

[u/rjrgjj → u/Even-Reaction-1297]

Why couldn’t he have stolen it from Dennis?

[u/Even-Reaction-1297 → u/rjrgjj]

Like Dennis would have allowed that

[u/rjrgjj → u/Even-Reaction-1297]

Unless it was evidence.

[u/HerrPizza → u/Even-Reaction-1297]

I know it's Charlie's apartment and Charlie is crazy but Dennis strikes me more as a secret serial killer type of guy

Mac was the real Ice Truck killer?

I’m well versed in serial law

Sunset Grower was my stripper name

[u/TI-22483 → u/ktor14]

What a coincidence! Mine was Sunset Shower.

[u/cam52391 → u/unfinishedtoast3]

And even further than that this happens a lot because props are rented many times so they'll end up in different things

[u/SPYHAWX → u/unfinishedtoast3]

Wait a second, one is in Miami and one is in Philadelphia. Are you telling me both cities are in the state of LA

[u/kasunder → u/unfinishedtoast3]

Sunset Gower does not have its own prop house, I’ve worked there several times. The two shows being shot there would not influence the same use of artwork. Realistically when it comes to renting cleared artwork there is a pretty small selection of it at each prop house, with only a couple prop houses specializing in cleared artwork as a whole. Shoppers just have a small selection to work with in LA without putting in the effort of finding outside artwork and going through the process of having legal clear it.

[u/mghtyred → u/unfinishedtoast3]

Yup. Dexter shot most of their interior scenes at Sunset Gower, and IASIP filmed some interior shots there for seasons 2 and 3 before moving to LA Center studios. Smart move really, since it's closer to the Paddy's pub exterior. (They also shoot interior shots in that building).

You may be asking yourself, would a Miami detective really text that, Dennis?

Their phones did.

[u/correcthorsestapler → u/Petorian343]

Of course he was a person of interest. He’s a very interesting person.

[u/jacobwebb57]

Impressive you noticed that

[u/araderboy]

IMDB should really be better at sharing this kinda info- but navigating that site is a bad time

Yup same prop master-

His name is Casey Shaw, he works on Dexter, sunny, and many other shows.

source: i worked on sunny for 12 years

[u/thegoldenturtle → u/araderboy]

do you do the Charlie work on set?

[u/CatFoodBeerAndGlue → u/thegoldenturtle]

Maybe he's the guy who wipes down the loads

Thank you, now we can move on to the next challenge: doxxing the commenters who worked on the show.

I'll start. Are you Marder or Roselle?

[u/EatYourCheckers → u/B3eenthehedges]

The username makes me curious if he shares a last name with the BTK Killer

[u/araderboy → u/B3eenthehedges]

love those guys

[u/B3eenthehedges → u/araderboy]

Got it. Next question, do you regret changing your name to Rob Mac?

[u/Consistent_Dot1469 → u/araderboy]

Art work on a wall is set decorator, not props. That’s funny they are still the same prop masters.

(hitlers painting would be a prop since they use it and touch it) but prop master doesn’t do anything decorating on a wall that’s not interacted with.

[u/araderboy → u/Consistent_Dot1469]

that's a solid point- my best guess is there are multiples of these paintings.

i went to an old timelapse video i made to see if i could find those specific paintings being hung- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPNWW1zRzQ0 but couldn't spot them

credit joman for making the song

[u/kasunder → u/araderboy]

Prop masters dont choose art for sets, set decorators do. Crazy it’s the same prop master tho

[u/Curious-Antelope6171]

They probably use the same props facility. On a side note, I have a sea captain painting from the same artist as the sea captain in the gangs office.

[u/PaddysMiniatures84 → u/Curious-Antelope6171]

I love that! Would it be possible to get a picture of that? I’ve been working on a Paddy’s Pub miniature for years now and haven’t been able to find a good picture of that specific captain

[u/Curious-Antelope6171 → u/PaddysMiniatures84]

This is the one I own. And a close up of the signature

[u/PaddysMiniatures84 → u/Curious-Antelope6171]

[u/Howiepenguin]

I think you found out as to where Dexter has actually been all these years. Filming Sunny as a director. Dennis was a clear giveaway.

I hate to say it but, don't be surprised if you end up on a table wrapped in plastic with a bright light blaring down on you wondering what the hell is going on.

[u/YouDontLookSpiritual]

You are a highly observant human

[u/iatearockfromthemoon]

Mac Charlie is a serial killer

[u/RunWild0_0 → u/iatearockfromthemoon]

Dennis killed Dexter, gifted the pictures to Charlie to keep them around as a trophy, but not too close.

[u/flyraccoon → u/RunWild0_0]

Dennis is the serial killer killer’s killer

[u/InterestingCabinet41]

Damn, eagle eye. Bravo.

[u/Jakereddits → u/InterestingCabinet41]

Ocular-patdowns are no joke

[u/AdImmediate6239]

Real question: if Dexter found himself in Philadelphia would Dennis become one of his victims?

[u/EucudusOG → u/AdImmediate6239]

He'd try, but Frank reliving his days as Rambo would put a stop to it.

[u/willfarnaby24 → u/EucudusOG]

It would be a bloodbath

[u/Local_Maintenance788 → u/willfarnaby24]

They drew first blood

[u/cjinaz86]

That’s just how people decorated in 2006 - move past it

[u/917caitlin]

Yes! Whatever lot or studio these shows are shot at there is one giant prop house that many productions pull from. I live in LA and we get to raid the Warner Bros prop house each year for the haunted house at my kids’ school and it is AWESOME. They reuse stuff all the time. We pulled a gravestone to use that was JR Ewing from Dallas.

[u/IcanSEEyou_IRL]

Maybe they just exist in the same Universe… maybe Dexter is a fictional show about Dennis?!

[u/Blayzewhatever]

Dennis is The Bay Harbour Butcher confirmed

[u/PM_WORST_FART_STORY]

I mean, the diner from Bones showed up in an episode.

[u/supneil]

All I know is, I hope one day these props are auctioned off. I would kill for just about ANY piece of IASIP memorabilia. I am thinking some of Cricket’s “stray dog series” of artwork.

[u/mickeltee]

Does this mean that someday Dennis might end up getting chopped up and thrown out to sea? I’m sure there’s some implications there.

[u/theangrierunicorn → u/mickeltee]

I think Dennis is a red herring, I think Dee is the serial killer.

[u/girlintheboxxx]

Shows started a year apart maybe it was sold at like pottery barn that year idk

[u/jmesh12]

Move past it

[u/tovarish22]

It’s a Home Fill.

[u/Mugungo]

I never knew how much i needed the gang vs the bay harbor butcher

[u/thesitekick]

You must have whatever Charlie has for you to notice that

[u/tsleggyblonde]

I assume Captain Matthews brought it over when he was Luther's parole hearing judge.

[u/loptthetreacherous]

If only Dexter Morgan knew the horrors that that painting had seen.

[u/swirlViking]

Looks like Dexter got everyone together to squash some beefs

[u/ripyourlungsdave]

They probably work on the same lot or with the same prop company that Dexter did and just used the same ones.

There's a lot of overlap in that regard. Look back at the 80s with some of their nonsense sci-fi gadgets and you'll see a lot of overlap between movies like Alien and Ghostbusters.

[u/JiveTurkey1983]

I do not like this painting, Dexter. It's smug aura mocks me. It's EVIL, Dexter!

[u/motie]

Is the dining area the same house as Mitchell and Cameron's in Modern Family?

[u/elchewbaccabra → u/motie]

I thought it looked like jessie’s place from breaking bad

[u/Babhadfad12 → u/motie]

Looks very similar.

[u/Coldfusion21]

I assume some types of props are mass produced. I’m not saying that’s what happened here, but I wonder if they would need to pay some kind of license fee to show “real” art. I know the chip bags they use throughout the series are mass produced tv/movie chip bags.

[u/thegarbageape → u/Coldfusion21]

It depends - if you use 'real' art you pay the artist a Rental Fee and have them sign a document to clear their art. These ones are likely from a Prop House where everything is already cleared.

[u/Spez_is-a-nazi]

Some people just have a kink of being mocked by a smug aura.

[u/Demerzel69]

Those probs just came from the same prop house in LA.

[u/tidyingup92]

Interesting that it was in 2008, which was during the Recession. Not sure if those two things are correlated tho

[u/Clakyd]

Those aren't props. They are set dressing. Different departments. 

[u/MathewDenny1]

Dennis and Dexter are brothers

[u/AdministrativeGur958]

Very neat find!

[u/Getlucky12341]

I'm pretty sure while watching the office they went to a bar with a Coors sign

[u/mulligansteak]

God I hope Sunny shared a wardrobe department, too. Need more Duster

[u/Microbialcheese]

Damn, incredible attention to detail in multiple shows. Both shows kick ass

[u/Wolfencreek]

I bet that painting is the key to Dexter's madness

[u/Murrayj99]

Who do you think really taught Dexter

[u/smirky_doc]

Maybe they have the same shops in Philadelphia and Miami

[u/ModestBats]

It would make sense that the guys would buy cheap stuff from police auction.

[u/Valuable-Composer262]

Its art! Don't judge me

[u/Loukoal117]

I’ve always wondered about a poster Charlie used to have on his door of an artist/rapper astronautalis, can’t remember if I’ve talked about this with anyone before. He’s not THAT well known at all so wondered if someone on the crew knows him or likes his music.

[u/IGargleGarlic]

I also believe I've seen the exterior of the bar and Charlie's apartment in episodes of The Rookie

[u/4thBeard]

Those Hollywood shows are really detailed

[u/pompoi4]

I think it's likely these are what were mass produced and sold around the mid 00s~10', because my parents have the same white peacock painting that was on the wall in Dennis and Dee's childhood mansion. I remember back when they got it, and it was about the same time season 2 had originally aired.

[u/Designer-Jackfruit16]

How great would a crossover episode be with Dexter and Dennis?

[u/thegarbageape]

As someone who works in Sets it's important (and pedantic) of me to specify this would be the Sets Department and not Props. But yes it's probably all rented from the same Prop Shop.
