This thread is inspired by the commentary on the Simpsons DVD where David Mirkin explains that the "Homer vs. Patty and Selma" episode could have been done as a real live sitcom.
After thinking about this, I realized that a lot of Simpsons stuff happens in their front yard. Then I started thinking about how almost ALL sitcoms avoid front yard sets. They always have a backyard or driveway set, but never a front yard...hmmm????
Is there any sitcom that has ever shown the front yard of the household???? I know Roseanne has shown the front porch, but that's the closest they've come to the front yard.
p.s. I know there have been hundreds of topics about "Only on TV" types of things, and I realize this thread won't go far if I said we shouldn't go there
