Sitcoms aren’t just hugely popular shows when they come out. Because of the laughs and the feels and the sweetness, sitcoms are also devoured over and over again. For that reason, quizzes about sitcoms are difficult to make. At least, they're difficult to make difficult. We know how well you know your sitcoms, so we've got to try and trick you, position you in places you might not always think about. When it comes to sitcom settings, the most common places we see are usually living rooms or places of work. With the exception of certain shows that take place in open concept apartments, the kitchen is rarely visited. So, in the spirit of challenging quizzes, we decided to visit the kitchen.
Since there are so many sitcoms available to us, we chose to scour all of time to find the most suitable kitchens. Some have dead giveaway characters in the pictures, so we blurred their faces as best as we could. Even though these shows didn't always spend time in the kitchen, almost all of them were there enough to make each question answerable. Let's see how good your attention to detail is.

Still, this particular angle is from a photo and not one of the commonly used TV camera locations. That might throw you off. So, what do you think? Can you name the show from the kitchen?

We're confident you've seen this room before, but are you able to tell us what show this kitchen is from?

Of all the kitchens in this quiz, this one might be the most cluttered. There's just too much on the countertops and there's a good chance half of that stuff is neglected.
