What's a Dom Com without a couch? It's usually center-stage and positioned so that anyone sitting there is facing directly into the audience; presumably it's right in front of the Fourth Wall. Sometimes a TV is set between it and the audience. The couch is typically set in the center of the room, rather than pushed against a wall, so that standing characters can converse with sitting characters while both are still facing the audience. And everybody sits on The Couch at some point during each show. Even the dog. They probably sit in the same place every time, too. If you can remember the show, you can almost certainly picture the living room (or coffee bar) and the requisite couch. The couch is, of course, prepackaged in Standardized Sitcom Housing (however, you do have to buy your own TV), and can often be found in a Social Semi-Circle. (That said, don't put two gamers on it). See also Local Hangout and Prop. |

Good Luck Charlie had two: The Duncans' living room couch was in the center of the set and directly faced the audience, although in many episodes a TV set can be seen facing the characters. A similar couch and TV setup is seen in the basement although it doesn't directly face the audience. | |

That '70s Show: Eric's basement and living room both had a couch front and center. Both sets, however, erected a fourth wall whenever characters were depicted in "The Circle", where the camera rotated 360 degrees from the center of the room. | |

The Big Bang Theory: Sheldon's extreme territoriality regarding his "spot" can be seen as a parody of strict sitcom seating arrangements. In one episode his spot is splattered with paint and, being the high-strung, type-A nerd that he is, he has to deal with either finding a new place to sit or simply turning the cushion over, which he refuses to do, because it doesn't have his butt imprint on it. Before the couch was there, it was simply a lawn chair Sheldon used as his "spot." | |

3rd Rock from the Sun - the Solomons' loft apartment as well as any other character's home (Mary, Don, Nina, etc.). Subverted in that the Solomons don't own an actual couch. They make do with two or three ratty chairs and an ottoman. In the episode when Harry gets amnesia, the first thing he says when he sees the living room is, "No sofa, that's weird." | |

Red Dwarf, being set in space, had no actual couch. This was actually cited as a reason why it wouldn't be funny in one of the rejections the writers received when they were trying to pitch the show. Their answer to that was to use the man's name as an insult in a second-season episode. It's "You're a total Gwenlan, Kryten." Various locations served as a sort of couch substitute - initially, Lister and Rimmer's bunkroom fills the role, later Starbug's mid-section - but usually, the characters meet up where the plot requires them to be. Weirdly enough, Infinity Welcomes Careful Drivers actually mentions that Rimmer and Lister's quarters does have a couch, but it never really gets used. |

The Odd Couple (1970) always had a living room couch, but in the first season, which was shot single-camera, it's not terribly prominent. When the show went to three-camera the set was redesigned and the couch, placed squarely facing the fourth wall, finally came into its own. | |

Our Miss Brooks: Mrs. Davis' living room has a couch, in the living room under a window and to the left of the fireplace. It's always facing the fourth wall, as the show was shot using the three camera configuration. It's not too prominent, as Mrs. Davis (and therefore Miss Brooks) doesn't have a television set. Much of the talking and action usually takes place in front of it. However, there are exceptions, notably "Old Age Plan". | |

Two and a Half Men has 2. The first is the kitchen table, where normally only 3 of the 4 seats are ever used. Subverted in one episode. The kitchen table hosted Alan, Lauren and their children around the table. While the least important character has his back to the fourth wall, a camera cuts around to show him face on, and the fourth wall is indeed visible behind him. |

The Golden Girls had two of these: The actual couch, and the kitchen table. It's about a fifty-fifty toss-up which one was featured more prominently. | |

Strong Bad's couch has become a staple of the Homestar Runner cartoons, despite being in his (not particularly well-furnished) basement and in questionable condition. It's also where he sleeps. Earlier cartoons would occasionally show characters watching TV at Homestar's house instead. | |

Family Guy, though the couch and furniture often move around for the sake of keeping a wide number of characters on the screen at once. | |

The RPG Fanatic: Almost every episode involves the RPG Fanatic sitting on his couch playing videogames. | |

How I Met Your Mother: Not only is there a couch in the main apartment, the cast never has a problem getting the exact same booth in a crowded, lively bar. One episode shows that this was because one of the bartenders would shoo away anyone sitting in their regular booth. The writers wanted to avert the latter and have them more realistically sit in different places at different times, but they were told this would be too expensive. Barney's couch faces the Fourth Wall, which in his apartment is a TV. Then cut to his bedroom... Where it's revealed he has a second TV like this. |

Too Many Cooks: Being a spoof of Dom Com shows (among other things), of course The Couch is featured prominently in many scenes. | |

The Music Video Show has the host sit on a black couch since season two. It was changed to a light brown futon in season three. | |

Frasier played it straight with an actual couch, but Martin Crane's nearby banged-up old recliner was arguably more well-known, well-liked and certainly more frequently used in the series, to the point of becoming the center of a border-line Running Gag. | |

In Friends the classic audience-facing couch setup is actually in the coffee house, while the couch in Monica's apartment is perpendicular to the audience facing the TV on the right wall, and the guys' apartment sports two recliners, faced perpendicularly to the TV on the left.note Temporarily replaced with a kayak. The reason for this may have been that unlike virtually all other sitcoms, Friends usually lets us see the characters' television screens while they're watching them, presumably because what they're watching often involves Joey. | |
