View Full Version : Sitcoms Where The TV Doesn't Face Away From The 4th Wall? Heenan Fan 07-09-2019, 07:50 PM In almost every sitcom, the TV set faces away from the 4th wall (Seinfeld, Roseanne, Married With Children, etc.). So, what are some sitcoms that had Tv's not facing away from the 4th wall - at least most of the time. Some that come to mind are: Cheers shameless Home Improvement (sometimes) Too2muchtv 07-09-2019, 08:09 PM Bewitched Heenan Fan 07-09-2019, 08:24 PM Bewitched It's been so long since I watched an episode, I honestly forget where the TV was located? Didn't it face the staircase or fireplace? andress_jade 07-09-2019, 11:24 PM On Friends the TV and couch are in the middle of the room, nowhere near the 4th wall. Full House had a TV that was portable. They moved it around on a wheeled cart, so it would appear anywhere in the living room. TSMIV 07-10-2019, 12:02 AM On I Dream of Jeannie the TV was on the same wall as the fireplace, but I don't think you could see it in every episode. The TV on Bewitched was at the bottom of the turn of the staircase. It faced the fireplace. In the second house on Leave it to Beaver, you could see the TV in the den when the scene took place near the front door. When the scene was in the den, you could not see the TV. On the color years of The Andy Griffith Show the TV was in front of the window across the room from the dining table. The TV in the barn on Mister Ed was usually visible behind Wilbur's work table. When Ed watched it, it was angled so Ed and the audience could see it. Chandler and Joey's TV was directly opposite Monica's TV on Friends. On the Brady Bunch the TV in the den faced the kitchen some of the time. On the Dick Van Dyke Show the TV was on a rolling cart. It was sometimes (the one where Rob watches the horror movie) seen in the bedroom facing the twin beds.

I guess my old fart memory isn't quite as bad as I thought it was. Schmoopie 07-11-2019, 03:16 AM Frasier's TV faced Martin's chair but you could only see the back of it in most episodes Heenan Fan 07-17-2019, 02:24 AM Family Ties- The TV was in the corner of the 1st and 4th wall. The top of the TV was shown occasionally (same as Home Improvement). Bonniegirl 07-17-2019, 02:53 AM That's what I thought. I guess my old fart memory isn't quite as bad as I thought it was.
