I always get a kick out of that beautiful Connecticut home set used during the last season of I LOVE LUCY and all the subsequent LUCILLE BALL-DESI ARNAZ SHOW specials-
The low income paucity of the Kramden apartment on THE HONEYMOONERS was a joke in itself, and oddly comforting in it's "simple nudity"  When the Kramden's hired that Slattern maid, Thelma to clean up due to Alice taking a job in a donut shop, I laugh my ass off to this day when she walks in, looks around and says to Ralph, "If these are the servent's quarters. I QUIT!" Ralph screams back, "This is where we LIVE!"

For me it would be the Star Ship Enterprise, from the original series. When I was a kid I wanted to live on that ship. It was such a fully realized world. I think that is part of the lasting attraction of the show.

I wanted to live in the original Enterprise like several other guys here, but I also had a second love in the BEWITCHED house. I became strangely obsessed with all its architectural details, inside and out, as a teenager. I drew innumerable floor plans and elevations, studying the show trying to capture every detail. Twenty years later I got on the Internet and found a fan-produced set of working blueprints with a level of accuracy I'd never dreamed of. So I wasn't the only one in the country who got obsessed with it, apparently.

I think there will always be a link between what your favourite series is and wanting to "live" on that set as if it were real.
Personally, I have a soft spot for the CHEERS set, as I watched that series after school or before I went to bed in the early 90's. It seemed so cozy there, indeed like a place where "you wanna go where people go, troubles are all the same, you wanna go where everybody knows your name".
In terms of sci fi, I also wanted to explore the BABYLON 5 space station or the FIREFLY spaceship. Never been that much of a Trekkie, though, so I never really felt any connection to those sets.
And although it probably couldn't be considered a "set", perhaps, the town and scenery of TWIN PEAKS inspired me to write a novel that took place in similar surroundings. Fantastic mood there.
