The man of the house decides to sell his family's home, but ends up meeting stiff resistance from the other members of his family. By the end of the episode, though, the move is cancelled. This may or may not require the other family members, often the kids, faking household disasters or otherwise trying to sabotage attempts by Dad or a real estate agent showing the house to buyers. "Real" moves invariably take place between seasons, so that the show's tech crew can build the new sets at a reasonable pace. See The Moving Experience and Moving Angst for when the move isn't cancelled. Examples |

Ur-example from the movies: Meet Me in St. Louis, one of the biggest films of 1943. Features the 1904 worlds fair, Judy Garland singing "The Trolley Song" and "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas," and, yes, the businessman father decides to stay in St. Louis for the sake of his family instead of taking a promotion to New York. | |

The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air featured a slight inversion in that Phillip Banks wasn't initially looking to sell the house; a real estate agent had shown up offering to buy it from him, explaining that it was his client's childhood home. Initially the entire family is against it. However, the agent continues to raise the offered price, winning over the family one by one until young Ashley is the only one who will resist. Sure enough, her pubescent natter is enough to convince the family to remain where they are. However, in a minor subversion, the agent's client (who turns out to be none other than Donald Trump himself) shows up to explain that the agent had the wrong address and withdraws the offer. | |

Good Luck Charlie: Amy decides to move the family into a bigger house thinking their current one will be too small for their soon-to-be-born fifth child. On the day of the move however, she has memories of the children coming in through the door when they were born, prompting her to cancel the move. | |

The Simpsons: Homer gets a new job under businessman (and part-time super-villain) Hank Scorpio. He loves it, but Bart is held back in school, Lisa is allergic to everything in the area, and Marge becomes incredibly bored due to a self-cleaning house. By the end of the episode, the Reset Button has been pushed and the family is back in Springfield. (And Scorpio has seized control of the entire U.S. East Coast.) This happens a few other times, too: In the movie, they move to Alaska after being chased away by an angry mob. In an episode where some carnies take over their house, they're forced to move. In an episode where Homer goes back to the old family farm, they move to the farm for a short time, where they grow "tomacco" plants (with a little help from nuclear material from the power plant. In an episode where they go to spring break in Florida and end up running from the law, they end up living in a trailer. In an episode where they go on a reality show, they move into a 19th century home. |

Happens in an episode of Full House. There is a slight subversion in that out of the nine people living there, eight of them are completely in favor of it (and the move wouldn't take them out of San Francisco...just to a bigger house in a nearby or perhaps the same neighborhood). The only one against it was seven year old Michelle. | |

In Everybody Loves Raymond, Ray is lukewarm about moving to a house opposite his parents. The then-innocent Debra asserts that having the soon-to-be-born child's grandparents nearby, so Marie and Frank could drop in and help out, would be a really good idea. | |

The Loud House: In "The Loudest Mission: Relative Chaos", initially the Santiagos were going to Great Lakes City to spend two days with their extended family the Casagrandes, but Maria reveals they're moving there permanently because she got a job at the city hospital and Bobby is being promoted to co-owner of the Mercado. Faced with the prospect of missing Lincoln and Lori and Bobby's relationship hitting a roadblock, Ronnie Anne asks the two to sabotage their plans; however, she changes her mind when she realizes how much the family cares for her, to the point of converting Rosa's closet into a bedroom for Ronnie Anne like Lincoln's. Thus she chooses to stay, which sets up Ronnie Anne's spin-off show The Casagrandes. | |

In the The Amazing World of Gumball episode "The Sale", the Robinsons are trying to sell their house to get away from the Wattersons for good. Gumball and Darwin do their best to sabotage the sale and eventually come to the conclusion that the couple trying to buy the Robinsons' house is only there because there's oil under their property, which at first seems like it is true, causing the Robinsons to stay. Then it turns out that they didn't strike oil, they punctured a sewage line. Because of this, the couple is now too disgusted to purchase the house. | |

The Golden Girls had a Clip Show episode, "We're Outta Here!", which had this overarching plot. A "For Sale" sign had been mistakenly put on the house, and Blanche receives a large offer from a wealthy Japanese businessman on a real estate shopping spree. The clips involved the grils' various misadventures during their life together, and while Rose, Dorothy, and Sophia didn't really want to move, they agreed that the offer was too large for Blanche to pass up. However, they're kept from moving at the end when the potential buyer spent all his money on other properties and withdraws his offer. | |

The first season finale of the original Beverly Hills, 90210 featured Jim Walsh getting a promotion back to Minnesota, and was met with resistance from Brenda, Brandon, and surprisingly, Cindy, all of whom grew accustomed to life in Beverly Hills. It went as far as a going-away party thrown by Brenda and Brandon's friends before Jim changed his mind, thus allowing the family to stay in Cali. | |
