Saturday

Door is stage left.
Sitting area with the same staircase in the background
Moving screen right left: there’s a dinner table (usually round) with a never used back area
then the kitchen - often through a (swinging door) that’s actually another set.

All in the Family
Cosby
Married with Children
Everybody loves Raymond.

All the same.
