Anyone recognize the famous TV house on the show?


Yes...You guessed it! It's the "Leave it To Beaver" house.

Oh, I know. It looks slightly different, but you can easily see it's the same house. Change two front windows, the stone facade, and the addition on the right side...And you've got the identical house.

That's a long time for a TV house to be around. (60 yrs.)


I watch alotta TV...but that doesn't mean I don't have a job.

Is it possible it's not the "same" house, but just a replica?

reply

Anything is possible, but I don't think it would make sense to replicate a house from an ancient TV comedy. I tend to think they're re-using it because it's there...and they--the producers or the network--probably already own it. It's even possible it's just an insude joke if some kind.

I don't know the inner-workings of this, but they used to do it all the time. The Barkley house ("The Big Valley") was probably one of the most used houses on the screen; many movies & TV shows.

The Hazel/Gidget house (Warner Bros ranch. Burbank, Ca.) has been around since the 1940's. That's 70 years,and counting...
