well why not posted:It's weird that sitcom apartments are so much nicer than sitcom houses. HIMYM, Seinfeld & Frasier all had awesome sets, but stuff like Everybody Loves Raymond have awful midwestern trash homes. idunno, jerry has a pretty small and basic apartment and its usually the same for the rest of the people in that show, jerry could have had a fireplace and garden tho. frasier is the only one with a "realistic" nice big apartment imo, niles apartment is so massive and convoluted that its just a parody of fancy apartments, didnt he have 3 stories and like a million libraries and irrc roz lives in a studio apartment. i remember very little about how i met your mother. about everybody loves raymond, i just think that any place where the parents and children have separate bathrooms is pretty luxurious. datajugend fucked around with this message at 12:44 on Nov 18, 2017 |

A lot of TV characters have pretty unrealistically big houses. (partly a necessity, given how hard it'd be for camera angles and such in small rooms) Niles' place was specifically a historic building with some downsides (no modern air conditioning, iirc) and he ended up moving out into a cheaper place when the divorce went sour. The Simpsons are a funny case given the house never has the same layout twice (though there's some loose common themes to it) and is even pointed out in show as way more than Homer should be able to afford, but also often cheap, filthy and falling apart. (though again, Homer being both cheap and lazy with maintenance probably doesn't help)

This is the weirdest thing. HIMYM was a legit phenomenon, but they got greedy and dragged it out a season too long and then it was just gone from the collective consciousness. It's like Avatar but without the theme park.

Ive never watched a single episode of HIMYM but it seemed from the outside like it was just Doogie Howser carrying the show on his back like some sort of Atlas because anytime anyone ever talked about they show, they were talking about something he was doing.

He could afford to buy his dad a new Cadillac, he clearly wasn't hurting for money. The real mystery is how Kramer can afford to be his neighbor, but you know, he's Kramer, he figured something out I'm sure.

George and Elaine had bigger apartments IIRC but I think they lived further uptown. I was never quite sure where exactly they lived in relation to Jerry.

Wasn't Jerry on the road a lot, hence his friends coming over when he is in town? So it makes sense if he's not super rich to have a small but decent 1BR. Also I thought it was canon Kramer is independently wealthy? (Lawsuit $ or something)

Well NYC has a lot of breadth in it's real estate, but in general, yes, Jerry's apartment by today's standards would be Between $1,800-$2,400 a month in a lot of the city, and something that big for one person wouldn't exist in the rest of the city.

Yeah I mean housing is terrible in lots of places but people don’t understand that NYC is on a completely different level than the rest of the US when it comes to housing costs. Tumble posted:it's a pretty spacey 1br, it's probably in the $3500 range tbh I made my smaller estimates because I thought he was in Brooklyn or much closer to the Bronx One house that didn’t make sense was Full House, because it was like a four story town house but like 2 full sized families lived in it and it had like 4-5 adults contributing at any given moment and they were all in showbizness (Full House was weird)

I just remembered the muffin tops episode when George is pretending to be from Arkansas to score with a hot chick from the tourism beureau. She tells him he's a sucker for paying $2300 which in today's dollars is about $3500. So he probably was living in a crappy neighborhood on purpose thinking he was getting a good deal, classic George. This is now the Seinfeld thread.

I’d love a Frazier Seinfeld Crossover where they are stuck on a plane together and the whole episode is Frasier on the aisle, Jerry by the window, just constantly nudging the guy in the middle going “geese can you believe this joker?” But also Niles and George get into a fight and they both poise out and Roz and Elaine start off bitchy to each other but the last scene is the two of them drunk hugging in the airport bathroom

HIMYM blew its best will-they-won't-they in season 2, then left it for dead, then tried to bring it back, then killed it again (seemingly) for good, then suddenly brought it back at the very end just because it was the ending the writers originally wrote 9 years earlier.

Don't they occasionally have Frasier visit the apartments of his upstairs and downstairs neighbours, which logically follow the same floorplan?

No weird Friend's type apartment where Joey has a window 5 feet away from another building, and yet Chandler's room is still somewhere over there as well.

That looks more like the apartment from 50 Shades of Grey. Hey they should do a crossover where Frasier pops round for sherry and compliments Mr Grey on his fine collection of antique butt plugs.

Apparently when he describes his apartment as “on the counterbalance,” he’s referring to the name of the street it’s on. I always thought it was some structural feature of the building.
