I always wondered if it was just a tv thing, or if America just in general has much bigger and nicer houses than I'm used too, and I'm guessing it's probably a combination of the two?
So many of the detached houses I see on US television just look so much nicer and roomier than the rows of semi-detatched houses with a scrap of garden that I'm used too in England, so maybe that's what's throwing me a bit. You can't even get a decent driveway in a lot of places over here, so many housing estates have rows of cars parked on either side of the road (very annoying to try and navigate when another car is coming!) because there's just no space to park them in the tiny bit of front lawn that most houses get. So yeah Walt and Skylar's place looks like luxury to me *g*
