The “Father of the Bride” Bar

Sara’s House from “Grandfathered”
‘ I always find it amusing when the exterior of a home is changed between a television show’s pilot and its subsequent episodes (which happens often, as I have mentioned numerous times on this site), but the interior is kept the same.

Westside Pavilion from “Christmas with the Kranks”

(For those who did not catch my original post…
