Has anyone notice


How their front door opens up to their backyard?

The way the door and their lawns are laid out makes zero sense.

Yeah, that was pretty strange but not as bizarre as Wilson always hiding his face. Who the f#ck thought that was actually funny?!

The front door is right next to their play set which is in their backyard.

They have a front door and then 2 doors that open to their backyard right off their kitchen. Two doors (front door and glass kitchen door by the table) open "north" and one (on the little landing with these 2 steps) "east". You can't have a front door and a back door both open in the same direction....

Are we sure about this? They have the front door directly next to the steps leading to upstairs. They have a side door by Jill's desk that leads to the backyard and then around the corner in the family room there is a glass door that also leads to the backyard just from another angle.

The front door doesn't lead to the backyard.

im thinking same thing

I just watched an episode a short while ago where they happened to use all three doors. The side door by Jill's desk and the glass door in the family room both go out to the backyard simply from two different angles. The front door goes, well, to the front.

Nothing to see here, folks.

You're kinda right and kinda ... well maybe not wrong, but overthinking it. The front door doesn't open onto the play set. The front door is to the left of the set behind the refrigerator and oven. There's a weird "wing" to the right of that which I don't think they ever used, then the double glass doors behind the dining room table. Visually, as you're looking onto the set, the do somewhat open in the same direction, though I think if you look close enough there's some angle. But you have to keep in mind that most TV studio sets skew the angles of their sets. If they literally had 90 degree angles, everything would feel closed in and they'd be really limited in how they could film scenes in different areas of that "open" floor plan. And, with a live studio audience, the audience needs a clear and open view of the entire set. So while the doors do kind of open in the same general direction, the implication is, I think, meant to be that the front door is facing, say, north, and the "back" yard is actually more of a side yard, to the east of the house. This isn't entirely unusual for certain corner lots depending on the layout of the neighborhood.

Of course, I'm watching the first of the final three episodes and Tim says he built the house himself - that could explain all kinds of oddities and eccentricities in the layout. lol
