As Seen on TV

Not everyone wants to live inside a fictional TV home, as the under-performing sale of the "Brady Bunch House" implies. But surely any house has a potential market.

If you could own and live inside any home from a TV show, which would you choose?

Nothing ostentatious like the Beverly Hillbillies mansion but more ranch-like. Yellowstone is a bit too grand also but nice. Probably more like the Ponderosa with indoor plumbing.

Off of the top of my head, the most comfortable TV home that I can think of is probably the Enterprise-D in Star Trek: The Next Generation, and the least comfortable must be the tribe shelter in any season of Survivor. But I'm too tempted by the Scottish castle and its grounds in The Traitors to choose anything else. I know that the players don't really sleep in the castle while filming, but the show pretends that they do, which is good enough for me to count it.

Monica & Rachel's apartment from Friends comes to mind, partly because it's so spacious and well-decorated with a great view, but mostly because of warm nostalgic feelings from the show. In a similar way, I'm drawn to the apartment from Three's Company, which isn't very pretty -- it looked as if the decorator's pay would be reduced every time they used a color other than beige -- but thinking about it brings back the warm fuzzy feelings about being a young person in the world.
