Television shows are great for laughs, drama, entertainment, and a loyal binge. From sitcoms to dramas, there are so many well-loved and timeless series that fans never tire of watching over and over again. In fact, there are some that are so widely popular that even those who haven’t watched it know about its characters and storylines.
Part of this notoriety comes from the series' cast, its storylines and romances, or its iconic sets. Everyone who has ever owned a television knows about the orange couch at Central Perk, but this isn’t the only set that fans will always remember and associate with their favorite TV series.
The Study Room (Community)
Community may be more of a hidden gem, but real fans of this show sincerely can’t get enough of the study group on this hilarious and quirky sitcom. The study room is the place where it all happens.
The study group even has a lot of love for this spot, and they certainly did mark the table as their own. Fans would like to think they could grab a chair next to Jeff and get working on some Spanish.
Paddy’s Pub (It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia)
Paddy’s Pub is just another bar that has become both lovable and memorable because of its role as one of the main sets on a hilarious sitcom. In fact, It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia would really be nothing without the bar.
This unsuccessful and moderately sketchy pub ticks all the boxes to make for a hilarious set, and from the pool table to the alley to the secret room, there’s a lot to love and remember about this spot.
Sterling Cooper Advertising Agency (Mad Men)
Mad Men might be one of the most referenced television dramas out there, and it has an incredibly large fanbase for a show that only ran for eight years. Of course, the Sterling Cooper Advertising Agency is home to all the madness.
It’s hard to imagine this show without the office on Madison Avenue, and this is one set that’s simultaneously both riveting in its meticulous design and detail and nostalgic for fans.
The RV (Breaking Bad)
The RV doesn’t actually last through the entirety of the series, but it’s still absolutely iconic. It’s where it all began, and there wouldn’t really be Breaking Bad without the fiascos and adventures of the RV.
Walt and Jesse put a lot of time and effort into this moving meth lab, and any fan would be able to recognize it from the inside or the outside. It’s a set that’s full of nostalgia for fans of this beloved drama.
MacLaren’s Pub (How I Met Your Mother)
How I Met Your Mother is definitely one of the most memorable sets from any sitcom, and lots of fans say that the show might have got the idea for the set from the gang at Central Perk in Friends.
MacLaren’s Pub is full of drinks and good times. From Carl the bartender to the endless amount of women that Barney Stinson tries to win over there, the bar is home to a lot of the drama and wholesome moments in this series.
Dunder Mifflin Scranton (The Office)
There quite literally isn’t The Office without the office. The strangely named company and its office are where the whole group works, from Michael Scott to Dwight Schrute.
Pretty much the entire series takes place amongst these cubicles and desks, and there’s a whole lot of shenanigans and cringy happenings here that fans will always associate with Dunder Mifflin Scranton.
Seattle Grace Hospital (Grey’s Anatomy)
For a show that has run for over 15 years, it’s no surprise that the set that pretty much makes up the entire series of Grey's Anatomy would make this list. Seattle Grace Hospital is where all the work drama happens with Meredith Grey and the crew.
The life of a surgeon is filled with a lot of drama, and fans of this hit series go on the journey right alongside the many characters at this iconic hospital.
Jerry’s Apartment (Seinfeld)
Lots of sitcoms and shows take place pretty much entirely inside the family or lead character’s home, but there’s nothing out there that is as memorable as Jerry Seinfeld's apartment.
From the blue couch to the small kitchen to Kramer living across the hall, anyone could probably draw a blueprint of Jerry’s apartment from Seinfeld with their eyes closed. Plus, it’s where a lot of the action happens. Jerry’s apartment is a close tie with the diner, though.
Cheers Bar (Cheers)
This sitcom might have ended way back in 1993, but there’s no doubt that it defined the importance of a set as one that characters come and go from, and where fans feel like they are really there with them.
The bar in Cheers is pretty much the entire series, and the lead characters are either bartenders or regulars. There isn’t a more famous bar or a more iconic ‘80s sitcom.
Central Perk (Friends)
There’s probably nothing more iconic as a set on a TV series than Central Perk. A simple picture of the orange couch is enough to trigger any fan into a nostalgic and happy state. These six friends will always be remembered at this coffee shop.
Friends just wouldn’t be the same without it and there really is nothing as timeless as this sitcom set. Even Chandler’s famous last line of the entire series was a direct love letter to the cafe itself.
