Yamashiro Restaurant
‘ Last Monday night, the Grim Cheaper and I headed out to fave restaurant Yamashiro in Hollywood to grab some drinks to celebrate the six month anniversary of our wedding. I can hardly believe that it has already been six months, by the way. While in some ways it feels as if my wedding took…

Dr. Daniel Pierce’s House from “Perception”
‘ For nearly two years now, I have been on the hunt for the house where Dr. Daniel Pierce (Eric McCormack) lives with his long-suffering assistant, Max Lewicki (Arjay Smith), on the TNT series Perception. Due to the fact that the residence is typically only ever shown at night in rather tight establishing shots, with…

Johnie’s Coffee Shop Restaurant on Wilshire
‘ Because I encountered so much filming location misinformation while researching my post on Bob’s Big Boy Broiler in Downey last week, I decided that I just had to write a blog about the place’s sister eatery, the now-defunct Johnie’s Coffee Shop Restaurant on Wilshire Boulevard in the Miracle Mile District of Los Angeles, which…

Ali’s Trailer Park from “Burlesque”
‘ While the Grim Cheaper and I were stalking in Downtown Piru this past Saturday, the super-nice owner of Poncho’s Place, the restaurant from True Blood that I blogged about on Tuesday, clued me into the fact that the supposed rural, Iowa-area trailer park where Ali (aka Christina Aguilera) lived in the beginning of Burlesque…

The “Life Goes On” House
‘ Some locations I spend ages upon ages trying to track down only to discover that, when finally found, they had been listed on another website all along. D’oh! Such was the case with today’s locale. I’ve mentioned before that Life Goes On is one of my all-time favorite television shows. It is pretty common…

Homer’s House from “The Day of the Locust”
‘ Today’s locale is an oldie but goodie. Way back in October 2010, while in Eagle Rock stalking with Mike, from MovieShotsLA, we passed by a residence at 4911 College View Avenue and Mike informed me that it was featured in The Day of the Locust. At the time I had never heard of the…

The Griffin from “NCIS”
‘ Today’s location comes with a caveat. Last Saturday evening while in L.A. for a brief visit, I headed to The Griffin, an Atwater Village bar I had been dying to stalk ever since seeing it in an episode of NCIS almost three years ago. The place did not disappoint and I started writing this…

Melrose (aka Greenwood) Place
‘ The apartment building used as the exterior of the fictional apartment complex “Melrose Place” on the TV show of the same name cannot actually be found on, or anywhere near, the real Melrose Avenue. In real life, the complex is called the “El Pueblo Apartments” and is located on Greenwood Place in Los Feliz,…

Jim and Pam’s House from “The Office”
‘ One location that I stalked back in April while fellow stalker Lavonna and her daughter Melissa were in town was the house that Jim Halpert (aka John Krasinksi) purchased for his fiancé Pam Beesly (aka Jenna Fischer) in the Season 5 episode of The Office titled “Frame Toby”. At the time I had never…

You’re Going to Hollywood, Dog!
‘ Got a from Hilary last week to find the apartment building that the Top 12 American Idols just moved into. This challenge was actually a slam dunk as a good friend of mine used to live in the Idols building. So I just called him up and got the address (Thanks, DH!) The Idols…
