so I am shopping for apartments and all the styles that differnt offerings include are named like "The Ambassador", or "The Wilson". that's so dumb. I want to get an apartment that looks like Jerry Seinfelds! Why don't apartment builders style thier offerings after diggs on famous shows. Apartment styles
could be called, "The Seinfeld", or "The Fraiser"..Or "The Ally Mcbeal" etc.... You get the picture.

Would they have one open side and be configured at weird angles to give the best camera shots? |
|
| |
Do they include the "missing fourth wall" where the camrea dollies trundle back and to ? Is there an audience ? Do you get canned laughter ? Dozens of huge lights in the ceiling ? |
|
| |
I don't mean to mock. It's not that bad an idea actually. |
|
| |
8th, this could be a great apartment version of the Film Noir house. The SitCom apartment. |
|
| |
but why stop at apartments? Real estate agents *should* compare homes for sale to well-known pop culture homes so that buyers reading the ads have a feel for the place before going to see it. Croissant for the idea, btw. |
|
| |
I want one of those spacious loft apartments in New York of the type the low income people in the movies seem to be able to afford. |
|
| |
"Welcome to Stepford ....." |
|
| |
Runforrestrun: Yes, but what if your favourite TV show is "The Simpsons" ? |
|
| |
Reverse-baked: "The Prisoner." |
|
| |
Actually, I'd love a flat styled on the home of "Mr Don and Mr George" (single series UK sitcom from mid-90s) complete with boxing ring, cornflakes-box office and "No Wasps" sign. Croissant. |
|
| |
This is a great idea - you could extend it to films as well. I wouldn't mind Scarface's place. |
|

//Runforrestrun: Yes, but what if your favourite TV show is "The Simpsons" ?// |
|
| |
actually, I was thinking more along the lines of Dynasty, Dallas, and Falcon Crest.... |
|
| |
I've only ever seen one episode of the Simpsons <<<<<collective gasp heard in the room>>>>> |
|
| |
me too runfy. the x-files one. |
|
| |
I don't want the apartment, just the cleaning crew. My house could look like it was a movie set, if only it could be kept as tidy as Seinfeld's place. Kids and toys and fading floral arrangements. |
|
| |
I saw the one where Lisa "created Lutherans" in a jar....don't actually think I saw the whole thing...but I remember that line |
|
| |
Can I put a downpayment on Eldon Tyrell's apartment from "Blade Runner" ? Including the owl, please. |
|
| |
Baked. Every new estate in England in based on
Brookside. |
|
| |
My apartment is more the size of those pods that the real-world humans in The Matrix are sealed in. Dirt cheap rent, though. |
|
| |
I want "The Munster". I've always wanted "The Munster". I'd even pay extra for the cobwebs. |
|
| |
I'll take Anderton's apartment in "Minority Report". Cleaned up a bit, of course. |
|
| |
Pee-Wee's, yes, bliss, great idea. Only if it comes with Conky, though. "The Conk...Ky...TTTwo Thousand... ready ready ready totototo...assssssist.. youououu..." |
|
| |
I want Angel's mansion from Season 3 of Buffy. (No relation, by the way.) |
|
| |
I can't believe that no-one wants the bat-cave...or would that be "The Batman", right next door to the "Bruce Wayne" - I'll have them anyway |
|
| |
It is a good idea - without getting caught up in the dreams of having a crazy celebrity home I shall give you pastry... |
|
| |
You could extend the idea onto cars and other vehicles. |
|
| |
Instead of stupid names like 'avensis' and 'corsa' we could have 'A-Team van' and the 'Penelope Pitstop' |
|
| |
I'll occasionally see, on the streets in my city, the green Mystery Machine from Scooby Doo. The driver sports a scraggly goatee and wears oversized green T-shirts. The van is all decked out like the original - way cool. |
|
| |
Cool. How about the "Three's Company Condo"? |
|
| |
Meanwhile companies have been spending millions to get popular culture icons to drive their cars on TV. Talking bout commercials here folks - I think you've all just come out with a new and radical advertisement concept..... just like 'The Truman Show'. <p>
I would buy a seinfeld apt, the batmobile, and air jordan shoes... err.... well just until i found out how much my celebs got paid for endorsements.... |
