That’s the entire premise of Almost Home, the spinoff of The Torkelsons. Throughout the first series, the family is rather deeply in debt (in the first episode, much of their furniture is repossessed) and the mother comes up with a variety of ways to try and pay the bills, including taking in a boarder and selling home-made jams. The second series has them beign forced to move out of the house, with the mother working as a nanny for a relatively well-off family in Seattle.
Presumably, they could only afford to move part of the family, as two of the Torkelson kids also get misplaced somewhere (possibly taken in by the dad, but it’s never explained).
No they didn’t. The first house had a smaller living room and kitchen, while the second house was larger and more open plan. I imagine they had built the first set to fit within the second set, so it wasn’t a big job to change sets between episodes.
Speaking of Buffy, I was always amazed that the strange going-ons in that town never attracted the attention of the national news media. You’d think, for example, that after the school principal turned into a huge monster during graduation and started a ruckus that destroyed the school the major news networks would send a few reporters there to see what happened.
That one’s easy, sinkholes. You draw too much water from an aquifer, and the pourous ground can’t support the weight of stuff above it, like, say, a small town. So the town collapses into the sinkhole.
As for teh school blowing up? Gangsters on PCP. I’m frankly curious why we don’t see more federal law enforcement in that town though.
I once read a really good Tom Clancy fanfic where Special Agent John Clark was briefing President Jack Ryan about the strange occurrences in a small California Town called Sunnydale.
On WKRP, I understand that Fever was the morning drive DJ, various people needed to drive the plot would do the housewife’s hour (10-2 usually), and Venus did afternoon drive, but what was Venus’ shift. Most of the local radio that I listened to at that time had afternoon drive starting at 2pm and ending about 6, sometimes 7, but it seemed Venus’ shift always started at night and ended at night. Was he not really the number 2 dj at the station? Did someone else do evening drive?
Had House’s ex Stacey been his wife or just his (long-term relationship, I’m sure) girlfriend? Everywhere I’ve looked I haven’t been able to find anything out definitively. Of course, I’m certainly not a search wiz, so I’m probably just overlooking the answer.
They were definitely not married. Can’t cite the ep at the moment, but there was a conversation in which House indicated that they had lived together but not been married.
Grace and her family, in Grace Under Fire. She cleaned up and repaired her rental, inspiring her landlord to sell it. She wound up buying a house down the street. This series also had an episode about the get-rich-quick foreclosures niche of real estate.
Was he connected to the monks who created Dawn? I never followed Angel closely enough to catch this.
