Why do all sitcoms have the same layout in their apartments?

Asked by Mtl_zack (6778points) January 20th, 2009

Friends, Seinfeld, Frasier, Will & Grace, Dharma & Greg, That 70s Show: They all have the exact same layout for their apartments. There’s a long couch with a coffee table in front of it, and a tv in front of that and there’s an armchair at a 60 degree angle to the couch. Like this:

|————| TV —————>Rooms

+ _______

======= ———->Card Table —————>Rooms

——————————————> Kitchen Area

-
|———| is a tv
+ is a chair
====== is a sofa
—————- is a coffee table

The kitchen area is off to the side, and there are some bedrooms behind the tv or couch. There’s also a card table adjacent to the kitchen area.

Why is this standard?
