I'm thinking the show's budget expanded during the third season, so they started doing more exterior shooting and location shots, even one episode set on an air force base. For that reason, we start seeing a lot more of their car. 3.03:3.23:3.24:

tv boy ◊ 2011-09-23 19:27	LOL...that 2x4 is propping up the banner, not the house. The house is, in fact, a painting (perhaps even worse). The bigger budget referred to the fact they could now afford a second unit for exterior photography, but some of the studio sets will still look a little cheap or reused.
