Where Knowledge Junkies Get Their Fix
The setting for a television show is almost as important as the main characters. The moment you saw the Cheers bar or Jerry Seinfeld’s living room, the familiar feeling instantly came back. The interiors of the classic shows are all pretty recognizable, but what about the exterior shots? See if you can match these television houses to the series they were in.

Don’t bother doing this quiz if you’re not at least 40 years old; most of the shows are from the 60’s – 80’s. A more recent version would be nice.

I completely agree with Craig. I thought for sure that I would see the Tanner’s or Winslow’s house thrown in there.

Did anyone else notice that the Growing Pains house doesn’t seem to be the Growing Pains house? Something is very off with that picture. Otherwise, great quiz!

Apparently after season 3, “Buffy The Vampire Slayer” was not allowed to film in Torrance including the exterior location of the Summers house due to uproar over an explosion filmed late at night for the season 3 finale.
At least I that’s the story as I recall it, please correct me if anyone knows the story better.

Well, darn. I got 40% and I’m over 40. Must be early onset Alzheimer’s.
