  • Peter and Elizabeth’s House from “White Collar”

    Peter and Elizabeth’s House from “White Collar”

    ‘ The Grim Cheaper and I have yet to watch the final season of White Collar, despite the fact that it aired almost a full two years ago.  We became hooked on the USA series back in 2011 after I attended a screening/Q&A with the cast – so hooked that we were devastated when its…

  • Dennis Feinstein Headquarters from “Parks and Recreation”

    Dennis Feinstein Headquarters from “Parks and Recreation”

    ‘ Though I chronicled the main locations used on Parks and Recreation pretty extensively for Los Angeles magazine in March, I still have a few of the series’ less prominent locales stockpiled in my backlog and figured it was about time that I covered them.  While watching the Season 7 episode titled “Save JJ’s,” I…

  • Ben and Leslie’s New House from “Parks and Recreation”

    Ben and Leslie’s New House from “Parks and Recreation”

    ‘ Back in October, while watching the fabulous Season 5 episode of Parks and Recreation titled “Halloween Surprise”, I became just a wee-bit obsessed with tracking down the Anywhere, U.S.A.-style home that Leslie Knope (Amy Poehler) leased with her longtime boyfriend, Ben Wyatt (Adam Scott – whom I just saw the other day at my…

  • South Fork Inn from “Revenge”

    South Fork Inn from “Revenge”

    ‘ Finding today’s location had me feeling like a complete moron.  Though my obsession with Revenge has waned in recent months (I have only watched three episodes from the current season), I remained hell-bent on tracking down the Colonial-style structure used in establishing shots of the South Fork Inn on the series.  I figured the…

  • The Tate Mansion from “Soap”

    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…

  • The “Perfect Strangers” Apartment Building

    The “Perfect Strangers” Apartment Building

    ‘ A few weeks ago, while perusing fave book Marilyn Monroe Dyed Here: More Locations of America’s Pop Culture Landmarks by Chris Epting (which was gifted to me by fellow stalker Lavonna – thanks, Lavonna! ), I came across a blurb about the supposed Chicago, Illinois-area apartment building where Balki Bartokomous (Bronson Pinchot) and “Cousin…

  • Ann’s House from “Parks and Recreation”

    Ann’s House from “Parks and Recreation”

    ‘ As I mentioned in Wednesday’s post about the Sullivan Street Pit from fave new show Parks and Recreation, during our whirlwind stalking adventure last Friday, Mike, from MovieShotsLA, and I also hit up the house where Ann Perkins (Rashida Jones) lives on the show.  Just as it is made to appear on P&R, Ann’s…

  • Nate ‘n Al’s Delicatessen

    Nate ‘n Al’s Delicatessen

    ‘ One location that I have been wanting to stalk for quite some time now is the historic Nate ‘n Al Delicatessen in Beverly Hills, but because I don’t get out to that area very often, the restaurant had remained an unchecked item on my extremely long “To-Stalk” list for over a year.  Until a…

  • Pat’s Topanga Grill from “Medium”

    Pat’s Topanga Grill from “Medium”

    ‘ Way back in December, after stalking the Topanga Canyon house where Paula (Sissy Spacek) lived in the 2008 Yuletide comedy Four Christmases (which I blogged about here), the Grim Cheaper and I passed by Pat’s Topanga Grill and decided to pop in for some breakfast. Because the GC always likes to joke that businesses…

  • Burning Man’s House from “Major Crimes”

    Burning Man’s House from “Major Crimes”

    ‘ My friend Owen and I share an uncanny synchronicity.  The other night I received an email from him which said the following, “837 Beacon Ave., L.A.  You may want to stalk this place after you watch the Season 7 premiere of Parks and Recreation.”  I had yet to see the episode, but immediately looked…
