Everybody's In The House

At the pub the other night, the fearless captain of my hard-as-nails indoor soccer team raised a very pertinent question: "did all those families in those 80s American sitcoms have two-storey houses?"

Damn it, I was intrigued, so I did a little research and discovered that his suspicions were only too well-founded. Indeed, all those families in those 80s sitcoms had two-storey houses.

wtf? Was there some imperative of early 80s American urban planning that I missed? A government directive that all houses should be built large enough to accommodate a hilarious mix of uncles, aunts, grandmothers and irritating neighbours, yet require only one or two sets to be adequately represented dramatically? Apparently so.

Think about it. Full House (with the theme that goes: everywhere you look (backing vocals: everywhere you look), there's a heart (there's a heart), a hand to hold on to). Huge house. Ground floor: enormous lounge, big open plan kitchen. First floor: bedrooms for the girls (two - from what I remember, DJ and Stephanie shared, and Michelle had her nursery), and obviously one for good-old Danny Tanner. Attic: enough room for Uncle Jesse (last seen playing bongos in the Beach Boys' "Kokomo" video) his hot wife Becky, and a rad blue neon kind of wall decoration. And basement: Uncle Joey's teenage-boy's-wet-dream room, with comic posters and maybe even a pinball machine (but free! You don't have to put coins in it or anything!) (Out of interest, did you know that Dave Coulier, who played Uncle Joey, is reportedly the target of Alanis Morissette's number one smash "You Oughta Know"?)

Growing Pains (Show me that smile again (oh, show me that smile), don't waste another minute on your crying): house big enough to accommodate the kids, Dr Seaver's obviously extremely lucrative psychiatry practice (yet not so successful that it required him to actually WORK during the day), and that room over the garage that Mike moved into in later series.

Perfect Strangers (Standing tall, on the wings of my dreams). For a burgeoning photojournalist, Cousin Larry sure had a sweet pad.

Family Ties (What would we do, baby, without us? Sha-la-la-laaaaa. And that theme seriously cooks along - check the funky guitar line). Cavernous interior. Dozens of rooms. (And well and good, because judging by the glint in Elyse's eye in that second photo, Steve had his work cut out for him in the bedroom).

Family Matters (It's a rare condition, in this day and age, to read any good news, on the newspaper page): huge family, huge Dad, huge house. Interesting that Jaleel White didn't go onto bigger and better things.

Charles in Charge (Charles in charge, of our days, and our nights): didn't it have like a mezzanine arrangement? Some sort of raised walkway over the living room?

The Golden Girls (Thankyou for being a friend): I hope to GOD they had a bedroom each. (Except Blanche. She was kind of sexy. I could see her hooking up from time to time with one of the other ladies. Just when they were lonely and a bit drunk and she needed a back rub and gee, is it hot in here?)

And last but certainly not least, The Cosby Show (no lyrics, just a seriously funky calypso/latin theme with wacky Bill and the gang dancing in garishly-coloured knit sweaters). A monster of a house, where you actually went DOWNSTAIRS upon entering the front door.

So yeah. In conclusion: big houses. More interesting conclusion: if you want to be a successful actor, don't star in an 80s sitcom. But a heaps more interesting conclusion than both of those: cool theme songs. Someone kicking around LA in the 80s had a gift for catchy melodies and memorable yet wholesome lyrics. Check 'em out.

What an era for theme songs. I'd like to hear more of the Perfect Strangers theme - love that flute thing at the end of it.

Ditto Mork and Mindy, Diff'rent Strokes, The Facts of Life, etc etc. Also thesis topic worthy: the ubiquity of the US high school experience with

locker-lined hallways
jocks
geeks
cheerleaders
gymnasium - basketball, wrestling or rope climbing only
cafeteria with angry lunch lady
bespectacled tweed jacketed older male teacher
bespectacled lace collared older female teacher
hot young female teacher (poetry lessons only)
100kg female ballbreaker gym teacher

What can be said about a post like that? Too good for my words.

You may be interested in this post by Californian exchange student, Krankiboy. The phrase 'Bobcat on the prowl' still gets me a little excited, to be honest.

You forgot one of the best theme songs/double-storey houses! VALERIE/THE HOGAN FAMILY:

"Life is such a sweet insanity/the more the run the less you know/in the heart of every family/there's a love that starts by letting go/step by step and day by day/reaching out along the way/hand in hand we face our fears/TOGETHER THROUGH THE YEARS!"

Sung by Superstar Roberta Flack!
It had the Bateman brother! The brother of Justine! It had a pilot Dad who was never there! And the crazy red haired middle aged neighbour with the funny voice! And the twins! A little set of stairs out the back, and a big set out the front, but everyone came through the back door. In fact, it looked a hell of a lot like the set for Growing Pains and Full House! A HELL of a lot!

You've got me all excited now.

Wow!

PopGoesCanberra, That is the fonkiest TV theme I've ever heard. It just pumps along. Screaming guitar line, poppin' bass. And that vocal! On annoying neighbours, I give you Full House's Kimmy Gibler. Not just annoying for comedic purposes, but genuinely annoying in an I-will-beat-my-younger-brother-just-to-expel-this-murderous-rage kind of way.

Anonymous, check this post out on Freeway9. If you want American high school cliches, The Breakfast Club is the movie for you.

And Jelly, I tried to work Bob Saget into that post, but it just felt dirty

BAH - I didn't mean to post anonymously earlier. Hi Peter, I'm Fluffy, nice to meet you.

Already quite the the John Hughes fan. Even though I was only 14 when 16 Candles came out. Love today's car post too! I did an ode to cars past myself a while back. Your sigma (I'll take 2, cheers) reminds me of my Corolla.

*sniff*

(er... nostalgic, not coke)

Posted by: fluffy at June 16, 2005 10:57 AM

Hi Fluffy. Welcome.
You have had a seriously *rad* run of cars. Respeck.
But, to get back to topic: I find it kind of sad that the American high school experience is more ubiquitous than ours. Not in an ABC-listener, why-are-all-these-kids-wearing-their-hats-backwards-, I-hate-America kind of way. Just that it's sad that we identify more with nerds being pushed into lockers than sconed with wet tennis balls. American schools are funnier though, no doubt.

Degrassi. Words will not do it justice. When that creepy man groped Wheels in the car and said "you got strong legs" I lost my innocence. There's a whole post on that show somewhere in my future. Maybe a series. Maybe degrassiblog.com. A teaser: (Joey's selling"drugs" that are actually aspirin or something) "Joey F Jeremiah. The F is for Pharmacy".

Posted by: Peter at June 16, 2005 12:21 PM

Kimmy Gibbler was a hero. I had a total crush on her as a kid.

Posted by: Adam 1.0 at June 18, 2005 10:56 PM

I came here via Jellyfish, and this post is soooo true!. My ma the other day said every American house has a front door that opens on to a huge lounge room, instead of a hallway.

I said, "no way, that's just in sit coms", but now that I'm watching Supernanny and she's going into real houses, well, I reckon Ma's on to something.

And every house supernanny goes into is a double story as well!

Sir, you and I lost our innocence simultaneously. And not in the traditional, actually-in-same-room way, it would seem.

Also, do you agree that Levi's shamelessly stole the whole "buying condoms from the parent of the girl you are about to try and sex" idea in their ad campaign from the Wheels\Stephanie first year storyline? Or was that Levi ad older than Degrassi? Please say no, I'd like to stay surly.

Posted by: Jess at June 22, 2005 02:20 PM

Footnote: Hot Becky from Full House is now the star of another cheesy family series that is currently aired on Mexican cable (80s sitcom actor sucess? I think not). Yep of course there is an enormous two story house, on the beach with massively buff people everywhere, a spa and even a novelty Australian surfer actor (with his actual accent - amazing). Oh and Becky's gone blonde. No idea on theme song, can guarantee it's not worth remembering.

Posted by: Zoe at June 23, 2005 03:00 AM

Zoe,
You would be talking about "Summerland", featuring former "Home and Away" star Ryan Kwanten, as well as Lori Loughlin. Terrible, terrible show. Mexican cable is too good a home for it. It should be being performed in front of a live studio audience in the violent sex offenders wing of a maximum security prison.

Jess,
Losing our innocence "the old-fashioned way" would have been so much more fun than that seedy Degrassi moment (I hope... I mean, girls have said, and stuff... oh, this is so embarrassing). Who cares if the Levi's ad came first, stay surly as long as you like, and wake only from your maudlin daze to unenthusiastically mumble "all the way with Stephanie K".

Posted by: Peter at June 23, 2005 10:54 AM

Summerland!! Yep that's it, a quality name for a quality show. Of course, Ryan from Home and Away, now his career's really coming along in leaps and bounds. Oh I concur, shocking show, really really bad. It made it to Australia?! Channel ten?
