Who is this man? He needs to make more videos.
I want more!
Agreed!!! This was so fun and informative haha
Parliamentarian Yeah, he was terrific.
I agree. But also I got a sadden fright by those sausage fingers hehe
I was about to post the same thing. A natural teacher. Reminded me of one of my professors who was so amazing I never skipped any of his classes.
Hey AD. Give this man a whole series!
Guarantee you’ll have a HUGE boost in viewers and subscribers
Agree
unfortunately, any stupid “inside the house of xyz” video makes 10-20x more views...
I enjoyed this video immensely.
I agree. I came to the channel because of a video with Michael and I'm now going through all of the ones featuring him! Unfortunately the celebrity stuff gets them millions more views :/
Yes please!! This is so interesting. So much better than seeing celebrities houses
Uuuh. The shade. "The chairs is a knockoff... like your table over there." Boom.
LOVED THIS! Please make this a series. I would love to learn more about the historical accuracy of (and get professional critique on) the architecture and design of our favorite TVs shows and movies.
Andrea51108 I SECOND THIS NOTION!!!!
Yes please !!! This video was great, informative and interesting.
SERIES! :)
This was excellent.
Yes! I could listen to this man talk about houses all day!
Stranger Things / 90210 Beverly Hills / Breaking Bad (Walter's house) Just some ideas on the next one. Great video can't wait for more.
I second that.
Yes hopper's house in season 2 and 3 really interests me
yes!!!
Yes please do Beverly Hills 90210. Dylan Mckay's California Craftsman, and Kellys super 90s house.
Stranger Things has a lot of class commentary that comes through in the houses. It would be great to see them all analyzed together in relation to differing trends of the 80's
Finally. This is what Architectural Digest and CZcams are meant for. Great, knowledgeable host.
Wow his level of expertise and experience is unbelievable! Respect.
Give this brilliant man more photos, more houses, more shows, and more videos, this is the best video on your entire channel BY FAR!
Besides his superb architectural analysis, I like the fact this gentleman makes socio-cultural analysis as well. Another fascinating thing about him is his take on the psyche of the show-makers are pretty convincing and spot on in my opinion. He can have his own show because he is a polymath with over average presentation skills. Bravo👏
i can listen to this man speak for hours and not get bored...
Architects are an extremely interesting profession - requiring passion and a thorough understanding of all matters ....
Home Plans 3D nah requires math
Doggo um, no. Requires passion and deep understanding of human needs and desires (plus, behaviour). No math is "required" other than a basic understanding for structural designs or if you're into some more organic designing or "funky" stuff like Thomas Heatherwick (but I think that still qualifies as structural analysis)
The engineers take care of the math side of the architectural designs. From electrical engineers to mechanical and structural engineers.
Just one year to go for me to finish my architecture academic career. Got a friend who's specializing in Structural designing, tho. And they get math like a soldier getting bullets in the battlefield. I'm specializing in urbanism design, so, i'm pretty safe I guess
@@Jamamegapr I do not fully agree with your thoughts
@@GradietPanda12345 You are completely wrong
@@Jamamegapr though, i think when youre saying about human behavior i believe that is the interior designers job scope. Architect is meant to set up the initial vibe of the house, in example colonial design modern design and etc. Even though math do play minimum role in architect side, it is still vital for architect to understand and carry their work using math. otherwise, the house scale, floor loading, the column loading and even the beam will be hard to resolved by civil/structural engineers as if you draw using your passion, i believe everything will be off by a few inch and so on. hence, architect plans can only move so far till everything is okay.
Lets put it this way, not all building requires an architect, but a beautiful building is certainly designed by one.
This NEEDS to be a series, I really enjoyed watching this man.
This guy: and the purposefully used this motif in order to give this feel.
Set designer: .....yeeah
Someone give this man a show! I could listen to him for hours
I'd love to hear about Fraiser's apartment and Will and Grace's apartment
Yes the frasier apartment is great!
Anyone else stayed waiting for the Golden Girls house!?! One of the most iconic houses of television! :) Hopefully we can see more like this!
YASSS! And the Full House house!!!!
Oh YES to this idea ... and the Cosby house (endlessly fascinating to me as a European kid in the 80ies in the middle of nowhere).
Dallas's Southfork Ranch
The Bunker's house on All in the Family. The Partridge Family house, Eight is Enough, so many!
@@grandcatsmama3421 And with Partridge home you have perhaps the first appearance on TV of the garage serving as band practice space.
my degree in architecture + that 70's show = i made the right choice in college, lol ; i love talking about architecture in tv shows / movies / any sort of production really
The town of Agrestic is based on and filmed in my hometown, Santa Clarita. (And there’s a zombie show there too lol). It’s always great when someone rips on the absurdity of sprawl at that level. You can’t do anything without a car in that town.
I always wondered, this is such a strange and foreign way to live .... to me personally at least, as I live in a small-ish city in a small country and grew up in a very rural area ....
Santa Clarita diet!! my favourite show. shame it was cancelled.
S P it was cancelled 😨😭
It would have been interesting if they did the Married With Children house, too.
I was thinking the same
I now want to take a course on this taught by this man
I laughed a little at his complete confusion over the siding on the inside of the house. In my area it was common when building a piece onto a house to just leave the wood siding on the former exterior wall. It did the job just fine and didn’t cost anything since it was already there.
Great video! About the "That 70's Show" basement, keep in mind that it's explicitly set in Wisconsin. Up north we have deep frost lines and therefore deeper basements that other parts of the country. 8 to 10 feet is pretty common. If you ignore the impossible overhead camera angles, their (nonexistent) ceiling usually seems to be portrayed as around the same height as others around here.
And we needed room for the blacklight posters and chains of beer tabs.
Can we have more episodes like this??!! So good
I could watch this all day. I loved "This is the house that was watching the Brady Bunch." More please!
This was the best video I have ever watched on CZcams. The presenter is an excellent teacher. Informed and engaging. Please make more!
This was great. I'd love to see him talk about maybe more famous examples of architecture walk us through why the architects made the decisions they made. He's a great speaker & you can tell he's very passionate about the subject.
wwaxwork I agree. I liked the stuff about passive solar heating and don’t get me started on the kitchen triangle.
Mr. Wyetzner has won the internets this week. Very enjoyable. Thank you.
Definitely prefer this style of content to the other price tag centric content on the channel
I would love to hear him comment on the house from "Bewitched".
My mother had the same range as Samantha. Loved it. Sadly, they no longer make them. No range since has compared to its functionality and easy clean/maintenance.
Would love to hear him comment on all the houses on that lot and how they reflect how Americans relate architecture to class. The three i can think of are the "country house," the "mansion, " and the "Bewitched" house
Finally a "real architect" CZcams video featuring an actual licensed Architect, unlike so many others....
Thanks Michael Wyetzner for bringing this as simple as possible for the ones the are not an architects and like architecture
I'm so happy they chose all those shows. And I'm giddy with joy about how Mr. Wyetzner points out all those things ... it reminds of back when "Mad Men" was still airing weekly and Tom & Lorenzo did the style analysis, there was so much to discover and understand. Thanks a lot, this is great!
LOVED their posts! I learned so much.
I could listen and learn from this guy all day! My son is studying to be an architect and I’m forwarding all these great videos to him.
More of this! I'd like to see this continued with Gilmore Girls and Roseanne and such...
Agreed, even more interesting since some parts of Stars Hollow had been used on "The Waltons" (the hotel, iirc).
Oh, I’d be obsessed if they did Roseanne!
I enjoyed this video very much, please bring this gentleman back!!
Fun Fact! The Draper home was portrayed as lower Upstate New York but it's actually in Pasadena, California.
@@Tracymmo I guess the definition must have changed - when I was a kid “upstate” New York meant “not the city and not Westchester County and not Long Island.”
Soo interesting! Never thought that history of architecture can be so interesting.
architectural history is one of my favorite subjects! its' fascinating knowing how people live (then and now)
I thought this was going to be boring, but I'm so glad I clicked. I love this video and this man. Very informative. 👍👍
as an amateur architecture nerd. i could listen to this man all day long. we need more videos
Critique (or praise) Darren and Samantha Stephen's house - 1164 Morning Glory Circle.
I could listen to him for hours lmao - anybody else love when he sketches little examples for us? lol
Yes! I live for his sketches. You can tell he has been doing this for years.
I... I didn't know I needed this video in my life. I know nothing of architecture and design, but here I am.
I always love the Drapers kitchen. It's so warm and with a human scale, but still modern and functional.
Does anyone else see the resemblance between him and H. Jon Benjamin?
I felt like Bob from Bob's Burgers/Sterling Archer from Archer was informing me of all this interesting architecture.
Came here to comment this
I've seen about 100 houses with outside siding inside the added on room. Midwest architecture.
Yeah, I saw it a lot growing up to. Usually an addition that started as a three season porch that was eventually walled off and became part of the house.
Given that the producers of that 70's show did allot research l wouldn't be surprised if they made put exterior siding in because that saw that in Michigan homes allot.
@@jasonirwin4631 If by Michigan you mean Wisconsin
More videos with this guy!
I’d like to see him talking about the model home from Arrested Development in other episodes
i love that these details tie into the storyline of the shows. the brady's staircase was like an exagerated version of a split level bungalow in a suburban neighborhood, because it had to be big enough to house a blended family. that 70's show basement wasn't even the size of the footprint of the house (even including steven's bedroom). so we never saw the storage area or the furnace room but we knew they were there. our mind makes up the rest.
That 70’s show outdoor siding in the kitchen 100% accurate and very common people would take a back porch or a front porch and enclose it for more living space ... and the make the area be used year round ... the old siding was always left in place ..It is in perfect condition why take it off and put something else there that would be wasteful so it always stayed!
Pretty common here in homes of that era - I saw several expansions like that while house-hunting, usually to enclose what used to be a carport.
He’s good. Would love to see more of him. It was wonderful to have another layer of knowledge about the importance of architecture in these sitcoms. How could there be haters when all he is bringing forth are facts. Unbelievable.
Born in '62, the 70's home aesthetic certainly brings back memories. That 70's Show..lol. Good stuff here!
Our midwest suburban ranch home didn't have a den or family room and the finished(paneled) basement became my teenage domain.
Enjoyed the vid.
Wow I didn't expect to be so into this! What a great host. Hope to see more videos with him!
You are VERY good at this! Nice job with the large photos brought onto your desk (instead of simply screenshots) which implies you actually took some time to study each example. The dialogue was intelligent, concise, and informative. I could go on, but you get the idea: want more!
You should do another video like this on the houses on Colonial Street/Wisteria Lane at Universal Studios.
That's what I thought. Desperate housewives is the definition of suburb.
That street has so much history behind it!
I find architecture history SO intresting, please make more of these videos!
i would so love to see another video of architecture in media with michael wyetzner! he explained everything super well.
Thank you for having him on the channel. It's good to have experts who know what they're talking about instead of realtors who know little to nothing about what they're selling.
This was cool! My suggestions for the next video is Fresh Prince of Bel-Air and Full House.
If you make more videos like this, one topic I'd like to see is: What differences are there between prop-houses for TV & movies, and actual real houses.
This is brilliant. I know about 10¢ about architecture and design but/and I have been around all these kinds of houses (as well as they NY apartments) and it all makes sense! Thank you.
When I bought my house, it had the formica counters with the metal edges in pink. Avocado green stove. Fake stone print vinyl flooring.
9:04 "hot water heater." Why would you further heat water that's already hot?
Literally my only gripe with this video. Well done.
What are they called then? That's what I call them.
@@Farzee49 They're called water heaters. Hot water heater is like saying sharp pencil sharpener.
I don’t even know how I stumbled across this video, but I’m glad I did. This is fascinating.
Fascinating discussion about these houses. I didn't know the upper window of the Brady house didn't really exist. I'm going to find a picture of the house to see what it really looks like.---It may not be feasible as we never saw more than a few rooms but I used to watch "Dark Shadows" in the 60's and beginning of the 70's and it would be interesting to hear what an architect would say about Collinwood Manor.
Where are no those STARS YouTUBE !!! This is what I call a interesting video - BRAVO Sr.
LOVED this! Thanks
Brady house has alot of the elements I am putting in my house, and Modern family house is what most Puerto Rican houses are like in 2022 back to 1940s, and that too is what I am doing with my home. That mid century meets modern tropical minimalist jewel! Frank Lloyd really brought some gems to our world!!
I'm noticing Betty's kitchen has an older, kind of beat-up white refrigerator, but the wall oven is newer and it is a color- avocado green. Usually if you were designing a new kitchen, all the appliances would match but if you still had an old fridge that still worked, you might delay replacing it with the matching color until it broke. So "real life" kitchens often had mismatched appliances of different ages.
LOVE this. More of this please!!
i need more of these I like how he ties everything together with context to history and reference points as well as the names of things
Would love to hear his take on famous “horror” houses: The Bates motel/Bates Manor, Lydia’s home in Beetlejuice, Hill House*, the apartment building from Coraline, Disneys Haunted Mansion (and it’s various iterations), the Parasite house et cet, maybe for Halloween?
Fascinating! You need to do more of these!
Masterful breakdown! Great video!
This was so good! More videos like this please!!
This was SO interesting!! Thank you!!!!!!
THIS WAS SO GOOD!!!! CAN THIS BE A SERIES? PLEASE!!
I need more of these videos! These are fascinating.
Absolutely loves this!! Please make another one! I want this to be a series! 😍😍👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🌟
I loved watching every minute of this. Very well done! 🎉
Love this video! I also really enjoyed the film one you did last year. I would love to see this turned into a series!
Loved this! Look forward to more.
Awesome video! More videos with this architect!!!
Obsessed with this style of videos. Please bring him back!!! So good. I learned so much!!
Great video, Mr. Wyetzner! Thank you! One small suggestion? Towards the end, when you mention exotic hardwoods, you said "teak and ... " ? I was able to google "exotic hardwoods" and came up with "Ipe", which may or may not be the name you meant. In future, when you tell us about stuff that non-professionals may not be familiar with, could you show the name on the screen so that we can research it, further, if we want?
Many thanks! I'm looking forward to watching more of your work!
Ipe is the one!
Not a bad suggestion; they could have shown the word "ipe" on the screen, especially since ipe isn't pronounced the way it's spelled. I had never heard of ipe myself until I read this article in This Old House magazine: www.thisoldhouse.com/ideas/all-about-hardwood-decking
You can turn on the subtitles.
Such a fantastic video, thank you
I love this series! Thanks Michael👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I can listen to him all day. Please do more
I hope this becomes an ongoing series! Very interesting and engaging!
I wish he had done Don Draper's penthouse apartment in NYC with the massive sunken living room that was the central focus and lead to each room and deck outside. You really need to be self aware walking around that sunken living room or your taking a tumble. It almost forces you to "perimeter walk" a lot, instead of taking direct lines to the bedrooms and kitchen. Cool place though.
This video was worth the watch! Thanks!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💐
This video was great and really interesting! Please do more of them, they are top quality!
This was awesome!! Love it. Thanks for sharing your expertise
This was absolutely fascinating. Thank you for sharing your vast knowledge. Please do another of these...so many other TV homes could be featured! Loved this and greatly appreciate your perspective. Amazing!
I watch these over and over. More please!
Love this man. Please make more !!
More of this please!!
I love home design from the 50's-70's. I grew up in a house built in '76. I love the darker colors everywhere. We had a rock fireplace, shag carpet in areas. Wood everywhere. My Dad is a roofer (he's 72 now) and wood shaked our hallway from the floor to chair rail height. Restaurants were so much nicer inside with darker colors too.
I thoroughly enjoyed this video. Thank you.
Thank you for this entertaining and informative video. I'll use it with my ESL trainees who want this kind of vocabulary.
So Interesting! Make more please! Thanks ♥
