Have you seen the commercial where Cissy from Family Affair is sitting in the backyard advertising Phones. Is that the back of the middle house backyard? Just Curious. Thanks.

I guess you are talking about one of Kathy Garver's commercials for ClearCaptions. Didn't The Middle house get demolished and torn down? I don't know what year the commercial was filmed, but it doesn't look like the same backyard to me.

The iconic Heck family home set from the TV show "The Middle" was demolished in October 2023 as part of the teardown of the Warner Bros. Ranch in Burbank, California. The lot, which included various iconic TV houses, is being cleared for new developments.

Heck House (The Middle): Located on the Warner Bros. Ranch, this set (not a real residential home) was used for exterior, street, and lawn shots.

Destruction Details: The site was used for firefighter training and eventually razed to make way for new studio sound stages.

Other Structures: The demolition included other famous homes on the lot, such as the National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation house and the Bewitched house.

The Middle's backyard looks different in photos.

Thanks TJ.

I remember Atticus Shaffer I believe did some you tube videos on the Season 9 pictures and videos his mom took.

I could swear Atticus said the back of the Heck house is not the actual back to the house they used. It was a Trailor or something they used for the back yard settings.

Yes I’m sick they tore down all the history on that lot. My parents I believe got to go see it in the 70’s when naturally still there.

Yes that is the commercial. Thanks again TJ for checking things out!
