Also, even putting stylization for specific artistic reasons aside, work in this context is always going to get warped for the simple needs of the camera (or "camera"). This goes double for anything pre-HD, where people or characters had to fit pretty tight into the shot to have the perspective close enough for facial expressions and body language. Dig into even the most "realistic" and staid shows of the era and you'll eventually find moments where they had to discreetly move furniture or even walls to make particular shots work.
