Television has always been a defining part of our culture. In addition to having famous families and actors, TV has made many homes quite famous as well. Here are a couple.
Dallas - The soap opera politics of the Ewing family rocked the television ratings from 1978-1991 and starred Larry Hagman, Patrick Duffy and their famous, Southfork Ranch. Southfork was built by Joe Duncan in 1970 and was 4,769 square foot ranch house with a 957 square foot garage. It is roughly 200 acres and has stables, pasture land and a large swimming pool. It now mainly acts as a conference and event center.
Cosby Show - Bill Cosby was already famous when he launched his famous show set in iconic Brooklyn New York in the 1980's. The home exterior was actually shot in Greenwich Village but the show proper was shot in NBC's Brooklyn studio. The home was typical of homes in New York. Thin with a narrow profile and built up, much like a town home, so as not to use too much land. What was defining about the show and home was that is showed African Americans in an upscale, successful neighborhood that broke cultural and social barriers.
Silver Spoons -While it was no Southfork, the mansion in Silver Spoons was pretty sweet, especially if you were a kid. The main character, Ricky Schroder, went to go live with his millionaire dad. He made his millions owning a toy making company and the house reflected this fact. The spacious house had its own arcade, with the best and newest of 1980's video games and who could forget the train! Yes, the house had a scaled electric train that you could ride running through the house, pretty sweet for any kid, even one on TV. Looking for a home in California? Come see San Diego new homes for sale for a home you will love.
Diff'rent Strokes -If Donald Trump were to adopt, this is how it would happen. This show featured the famous Gary Coleman as Arnold "What you talkin' about?" Jackson. A more unique home than most, Arnold was raised by millionaire Phillip Drummond in a New York high rise penthouse. Arnold and his brother Willis, were two poor kids who had no parents. Until adopted by millionaire Phillip Drummond and his 13 year old daughter Kimberly. One can just picture cocktail parties, champagne, spa's and elite country clubs in New York high society. Speaking of which, with all that money, why did the two boys have to share a room?
