now this might be the stupidest and it might have been done before so if it has im sorry but i was wondering if anyones house sort of looks like a tv show set from a show you have seen on tv.
my house used to look like the set of roseanne before i renovated it. i have the exact lamp from the living room and i have one of those things that go over the couch.
if you have pics great!

No, but this guys does.

Matt Groening toured one:


Virtual tour of the house.

Ugh. It might be OK in a cartoon but a real version of the Simpsons' house sure is ugly. Paint it different and it would be OK.

The closest thing I can cite is that my wife got a set of 4 autumn leaf candles as a gift. About six months later, we noticed the same candles featured in an episode of Angel when

Does anybody have two sets of staircases, one in the living room and one in the kitchen, a la, Full House, Family Matters, Step By Step, Growing Pains, Hogan's Family, etc?

Jimmy James

Didn't the Huxtable household also have this feature?

My friend has stairs from the kitchen and stairs from the living room that both join up to stairs leading upstairs.

I said "stairs" way too much there.

rfduncan

Yes, also the Diff'rent Strokes' Drummond household had a similar set up.

My grandparents' old house had stairs from the kitchen meeting stairs from the living room on a landing before continuing on up, but let's just say a 4-camera shoot would have been difficult.

That seems like it would a nice feature to have in case of a fire. If one staircase was ablaze you'd have another option besides jumping out a second story window. Unless both sets of stairs were on fire... then you're still screwed.

A friend of my mother's house has this feature. There's a front staircase in the foyer and a back staircase to the second floor only (three-story house) from the dining room.

majorjoe23

Your mother's house has friends?

Intentionally or not, this is one of the funniest things I have read on a message board.

Yes, my living room looks like this.

Every place I have ever lived in had a toilet. You rarely see one on TV. I've only ever heard one on All in the Family and Married with Children.

Marcia Cross's real-life house must be a close enough match to her character's house that it can be "dressed up" to double for Wisteria Lane...

She's more-or-less bedridden as a pregnancy precaution, so they're going to film two episodes in her "real home" starting immediately...

Jimmy James

I think I have also heard the toilet flush on Mama's Family. They did a fair amount of bathroom humor as I recall.

Yes, I know I just admitted to watching Mama's Family. It was back when I didn't know any better.

I've always wished my parents' house had that secret staircase from Webster that went from the back of his closet down to just behind the batcave-esque sliding grandfather clock. It's utterly stupid, but would be oh so awesome.

The house I lived in for many years had two staircases, the main one off the front of the hosue, and then one in the back that opened into the living room. On the second floor, they both came out right beside each other basically. However, the way the house looked, you could have put a false wardrobe type thing in the downstairs in the living room (it had a door on it), and then put a bookshelf or even a false wall at the top and you could have had a hidden stairwell.

I have a Corbusier Lounge chair and an Isamu Noguci coffee table that i bought some years ago and when i first watched Smallville I saw the same style in Lex Luthors Castle house.

GoldenJCJ

screw the two staircases. I want a house that has a huge fireplace in the kitchen!
