Why do big houses in American dramas only ever have 1 bedroom?

    Watching Revenge tonight the main character lives alone in a huge beach house- yet when she has someone staying with her he has to sleep on the couch in the living room must only be a one bed.
    I have seen this quite a few times in American dramas, I remember seeing it in the OC again massive house yet seems to only have 2 bedrooms that any guests have sleep on the couch downstairs :p

    Rather be on the couch than in the basement with those massive furnices breathing fire.

    Not sure about bedrooms but they never have hallways.

    You walk through the front door and you're in the living room straight away.

    Usually a massive living room too. And the sofa is always in the middle of the floor. Never with it's back to the wall.

    Think Cosby Show, Roseanne, That 70's show, Friends etc.

    That's common in real life in the US. Probably they think a hall wastes living space.

    And everything is brown. And everything happens indoors.

    And they always come through the door discussing what happened in the previous indoor scene. What like they didn't talk in the car?

    Cosby's had 2 stairs too, it shows they're rich.

    Every unmarried man lives in loft apartments in New York.

    Oh you work selling hot dogs on the street - here's a loft apartment, with a basketball net. If your a woman and unmarried you have a loft apartment too, but you have it furnished really, really well.
