Has anyone else noticed that the house they show usually leading into a scene is NOTHING like their real house? The fake one has the door on the right side and has 3 windows and a screen door. The real house door has windows on each side of it and has one big square window at the top. I noticed it on like the second show I ever saw and it just bugs me everytime.

Have you noticed that Every single TV show has that same problem.

If you want to talk continuity in that respect, how about Everybody Loves Raymond?

Ray and his parents' houses are supposed to be across from each other; but yet they come in and out of both the front/back doors of both houses as if they were positioned in a circle.

Alot of people use their front and back doors equally. That's not so odd.

Sorry, but I'm gonna have to disagree. I do find it odd. You sometimes see them leave through one's backdoor, only to enter through the other's backdoor. In this case, you're telling me that they couldn't simply walk in/out of the front doors but rather through the backdoor and thus walking all the way around to the other' backdoor?

It is kinda weird how shows never seem to match the interior set with what they show as the exterior.

As for Everyone Loves Raymond, I believe that the 'backdoor' may also be the door that leads to the garage/driveway which would make it just as commonly used as the front door.

I know Raymond uses it regularly too when entering the house when he gets home from work or golf or from his parents...etc.

I always did wonder about them using the back door on ELR. I mean why go around the house, when you can go straight in.

The Brady Bunch house used to drive me nuts! That one was way off.
