Film: "The Amityville Horror"

Location: Tom's River, NJ

Listed for Sale for $915,000

Back story: 
Painted blue and with formal landscaping, this home doesn't bear much resemblance to the 1979 film.  The attic fan-shaped windows, out of view for good reason in this listing photo, are the creepiest architectural feature I have ever seen on a house.   In the film they flashed with a sickly yellow cast to resemble eyes of the devil.  It still scares the heck out of me.  The house is pretty, but I don't think I could live here if they gave me the house for free.

Program: "The Osbournes"

The Osbournes profanity-laced conversations were a jarring contrast to the formal elegance of their home.

Program: "Sex and the City" 

Locatioin: 64 Perry St. New York, NY

Listed for Sale: $9.65

Back story:   Built in 1866 and designed by architect Robert Mook, the 5 bed, 3 bath home had only two owners, period.  The fewer the owners, the fewer the people to come in and make inappropriate changes to the home's original design.  I could totally live here.   You too?

Program: "The Mary Tyler Moore Show"

Location: Minneapolis, MN

Listed for Sale: $2.89 million

Back story:   TV producer Mary Richards rented an upper floor apartment in this home --used for exterior shots only. In reality this home has always been a single-family residence, never a cut-up apartment house.  I have a fondness for this one because I used to watch the show while babysitting on Saturday nights when I was in high school.  I also like it because it could be at home in the suburbs west of Boston.  There are several Victorian-era "painted ladies" like this along the Rt. 9 corridor.

Program: "Roseanne"

Location: Evansville, IN

Listed for Sale: $129,999.

Back story:  OK I take back what I said about a TV show adding value to a home.  This property is only $5K more than what the current owners paid in 2009.  Could that reflect Roseanne Barr's overall drop in popularity?
