Something TV homes rarely have (stumper) (1 Viewer)

[David Lawson]

If we're excluding the ceiling, are we also excluding ceiling-mounted items like fans and chandeliers?
I was also thinking along the lines of a vacuum cleaner, but I know Rosie uses one on The Jetsons. I guess Alice on The Brady Bunch would, too.

Ok what show has it??

 

[PatrickM]

How about heating vents?

ants and spiders.
or outside screen/storm doors.

 

[Jose Arellano]

A light switch?
A laundry room/washer/dryer?
A ceiling fan?
Truly, a stumper.

 

[McPaul]

was going to guess light switch today too.
Fireplace?
Stereo?
plants?
*looking around my house*
thermostat?
phone jack?
garbage can?
I know Cosby show in the 80's had everything in the kitchen, same with brady bunch, so not that.
pictures of themselves and family/friends?
dresser?
media rack? (to go with stereo, and dvd)
computer? (you could argue that not all households have em)

or outside screen/storm doors.

Way to go, Isobel!
The only house I've ever noticed to have a screen/storm door was Andy Taylor's home on The Andy Griffith Show.
Great guesses, though, everyone.

Okay, that's interesting but your assertion that most real houses have them is a little off. In my direct neighbourhood alone (over 80 houses) no one has screen/storm doors. Of all my friends houses only one has a screen/storm door. Now I'm speaking of the front door only since I don't walk into strangers back yards.

[Trace Downing]

Momma's House in Raytown also has a screen door.
Good question, though.

 

[BrettB]

Kramer had one! For one episode, anyway.

[Glenn Overholt]

I thought they had a screen door on the Brady Bunch, but I was going to guess 'no glass on the windows'. BTW, I don't have any screen/storm doors on my house.

Wow, I guess it's a regional thing. NO ONE 'round these parts lacks a screen door, unless it got blown away with the latest twister.
Brady Bunch did not have one; they had those double doors, but no screen/storm doors.
And I forgot about Kramer's

A few ideas....
Cable TV - They always seem to make a big deal about how expensive it is, yet almost everyone I know has it, if not a satellite dish!
Garbage can - I suddenly realized that I have never noticed a garbage can. All I can remember is a trash chute on Friends.
A bookcase - You could justify that it'd be rather boring to watch people who just read books. Although one of the new specialty channels in Canada may beg to differ....

 

[Jon_Are]

Cable TV: Good one. Don't know if I've ever seen a cable box.
Garbage Can: Don't recall seeing an indoor/kitchen one, but have seen some outdoor/garage cans.
Bookcase: Ward Cleaver had an impressive library in his den. Also Mad About You, Frasier, and Mary Tyler Moore.
Also, have you noticed that when sitting down for a meal, there is never a diner with his back to the camera? Even if it's an oval table, and there are four eaters, they're positioned very unnaturally - close together, and facing the camera.
Jon,

I think I've got it. How about a cross or crucifix? I don't remember ever seeing one. I would think they would want to stay away from relieous artifacts.
