On this episode of Objection! You’re Fiction, Lee and Mike sit down with Daniel Gershburg, Esq. to discuss the housing and real estate issues that our favorite 90s sitcom characters would have likely encountered. The conversation starts with Seinfeld, where they chat about how Jerry, Kramer, and Newman would have handled a co-op interview and whether Kramer’s antics would have led to him being removed from the building. They then move onto Friends, where they discuss how Monica ended up living illegally in a rent stabilized West Village apartment, and the potential consequences if discovered. Finally they close with a chat about shows like the Nanny, Mad About You, and Sex and the City, and how accurate the depiction of the character’s NYC living situations were in those shows. It’s a different type of episode, but every bit as entertaining. Give it a listen and let us know what you think.
