Seinfeld’s Apartment
‘ Like most filming locations, the site used as Jerry’”‘”‘s apartment building on the hit TV show Seinfeld, can actually be found in Los Angeles, not Manhattan. It is a nondescript little building that actually does look very reminiscent of New York. I didn’”‘”‘t recognize the building in person, until I looked at it through the viewfinder of my camera, and…

The Tate Mansion from “Soap”
‘ I have a pretty amazing memory, especially when it comes to things most people find useless, such as filming locations and movie quotes. I’m like a vault. Or an elephant. Once something enters my brain, it locks in and I don’t forget it. So I was shocked when I received an email a couple…

Skylight Books from “Joan of Arcadia”
‘ Another Los Feliz location that the Grim Cheaper and I stalked two weekends ago was Skylight Books, the bookstore where Joan Girardi (aka Amber Tamblyn) worked on the 2003 television series Joan of Arcadia. In a very synchronicitous twist of fate, the GC and I had visited Skylight Books way back in October of…

Dancing in the Friends’ Fountain!
‘ I’”‘”‘ve done some pretty cool things in my life, but I must say that one of my favorite and most memorable adventures was dancing in the fountain that was used in the opening credits of ! Back in 2002, I attended a seminar put on by my acting school that just happened to be…

Here Comes the Dog!
‘ Today I dragged my parents and my boyfriend out to the HIlton Waikoloa Resort and Spa to do some more Dog, the Bounty Hunter stalking. Ever since we arrived in Hawaii, I have been itching to stalk the hotel where Dog and Beth got married on May 20, 2006. The wedding celebration aired on…

Freddy’s BBQ Joint from “House of Cards”
‘ I have never been a fan of dark TV shows or movies. Surprising, I know, considering my love for true crime and all podcasts, documentaries and news stories related to the subject. But when it comes to fictional TV and movie watching, I prefer a much lighter fare. One exception to this rule is…

The “Six Feet Under” Flower Shop – One of the Last Places James Dean Was Seen Alive
‘ I promise to get back to my wedding blogging in the near future, but for today I thought I’d do a post about a location that I stalked this past weekend – the Blossom d’Amour flower shop where Ruth Fisher (aka Frances Conroy) worked on the hit HBO television series Six Feet Under. While…

Johnson Lake in Pasadena from “Celebrity Rehab”
‘ A couple of weeks ago, while trying to track down the lake house belonging to Donna Meagle (Retta) in the Season 4 episode of Parks and Recreation titled “Sweet Sixteen”, I discovered that there was a lake in Pasadena and just about fell right off my chair! Having lived in the area – as…

The Filming Locations of “Breaking Bad”
‘ I am not a Breaking Bad fan. I know, I know – I am in the minority on this one. The Grim Cheaper and I started to watch the series, which ran on AMC from 2008 through 2013, and absolutely LOVED the first two episodes. They were hilarious. Then the show seemed to take…

The Former Site of the “Doogie Howser, M.D.” House
‘ This past (dismal and dreary) Sunday afternoon, after stalking the Jack & Jill house, which I blogged about on Tuesday, I dragged the Grim Cheaper a few blocks south to stalk a location that I had been wanting to see in person for years – the Howser residence, where teenage prodigy Dr. Doogie Howser…
