It depends how many rooms are in the house. If there's just one living room type area, it's always called the living room. If you have a second room that's also used for squishy furniture and TV, it's usually called either a family room or a den, depending on size. Typically, in houses with lots of living space, the family room is where the kids hang out and is generally just a less formal space

Raincitygirl kinda took care of it with her comment. The Winchesters had a living room, but it really would depend on the configuration of the house and how many overall rooms there were.
Also, Kansas mostly has cellars, frequently with the "Dorothy doors" accessed on the outside of the house (like in "Scarecrow" when they toss Dean and Emily down in the cellar for safekeeping before sacrificing them).
Ah, okay, that's an interesting distinction. So a "living room" would be more for company and a "family room" would be more where the family hung out and did stuff?

Hee! That's cute! Haven't heard one called that, most of the guys I know call theirs their 'office' even though it's primarily not for work.

But usually, it's the family room. The living room is more "formal" and might not have a television, for instance.

If you had a smaller house, you wouldn't waste a room on the rare hope of company. You'd just have a family room and no living room.
