If you were to make a list of most desirable sitcom abodes, it is highly unlikely that the Pasadena apartment shared by Sheldon Cooper (Jim Parsons) and Leonard Hofstadter (Johnny Galecki) in "The Big Bang Theory" would be anywhere near the top 10 -- not when you consider how many sitcoms were set in mansions, like "Benson," "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air," and the dream home of every kid in the 1980s: Edward Stratton III's video game-laden estate in "Silver Spoons" (which had a miniature train that traveled in and around the house). But if you were looking for comfortable accommodations in that area of Southern California and didn't have the coin to buy a house, a unit in Los Robles Apartments would likely treat you right (aside from the broken elevator).

Some sitcom apartments are notoriously beyond the reach of their fictional tenants' means, but Pasadena isn't the West Village of Manhattan.
