Recently we've been enjoying looking inside some movie and television character's homes; now Boing Boing points to Mark Bennett—"a compulsive television watcher in his youth, he makes careful observations of the sets inhabited by popular TV shows, transforming them into fully realized architectural drawings." His blueprints, some of which are published in his book TV Sets, include the Jeffersons' home, Uncle Bill's home from Family Affair, Bruce Wayne's mansion in Gotham and Lucy and Ricky Ricardo's digs.
