While washing the dishes this evening, I turned to R and said, "So who on television had the best apartment?"
Without even pausing, he replied, "Martin Tupper."
"Martin Tupper?" I asked. I tried my best to think of what his apartment looked like, but I could only remember the city out his windows at night. Not original, since every NY apartment scene has that.
"Yes, Martin Tupper."
"Okay, why Martin Tupper?"
"Exposed brick." He turned to face me. "When he went to sell his apartment, he said 'Look at all the exposed brick. Brick, brick, brick, brick, brick.'"
"And that makes it the best apartment on TV?"
"Yeah. That and he was an editor."
So I thought about it and decided there had to be a cooler apartment than that. "I really think that the Kotters' apartment was cooler. They had everything right there, and that cozy 70s thing going on. The couch and plants and kitchen. Or maybe Johnny's."
"Johnny?"
"Johnny Fever. WKRP?"
"I only watched that a few times."
I was quiet for a minute.
"No, I have it," I said. "Frasier's. Now that is a great apartment."

So we agreed to agree on Frasier (On Frasier, of course, not on Cheers). I'll have to ask E tomorrow. He is sure to come up with some just as cool.
