  • The Many Apartments of Carrie Bradshaw on “Sex and the City”

    The Many Apartments of Carrie Bradshaw on “Sex and the City”

    ‘ While it is quite common for locations to shift after the pilot episode of a television series is shot (as I’ve mentioned countless times before on this blog), changes are typically few and far between from that point forward.  The vast majority of my favorite shows tend to play fast and loose with their…

  • Echo Park

    Echo Park

    ‘ One location that I have wanted to stalk ever since June 2012, when I wrote my post about MacArthur Park from New Girl (which you can read here), was the similar-looking Echo Park in L.A.’s Echo Park neighborhood.  Sadly though, my efforts were thwarted for over a year due to an extensive restoration project…

  • Chelsea Lately’s “The Case of the Douche Bag Actor”

    Chelsea Lately’s “The Case of the Douche Bag Actor”

    ‘ Those of you who are regular visitors to my site will remember that, back in May, my good friend Blaze Foster was hired to be part of a “Detective Lately” skit on the Chelsea Lately show.   His scene was originally scheduled to be filmed on May 8th and I, of course, tagged along with…

  • Julia Harris’ House from “Horrible Bosses”

    Julia Harris’ House from “Horrible Bosses”

    ‘ Another location that the Grim Cheaper and I ventured out in the pouring rain to stalk two weekends ago was the ultra-modern abode where Dr. Julia Harris, D.D.S. (aka my girl Jen Aniston) lived in the (horrible) 2011 comedy Horrible Bosses.  I was informed of this location via a text from fellow stalker Chas,…

  • The Warehouse Restaurant from “Anger Management”

    The Warehouse Restaurant from “Anger Management”

    ‘ While visiting L.A. last week, the Grim Cheaper and I stayed in Marina del Rey.  One late afternoon, during a waterfront stroll, we found ourselves passing by a unique eatery that had long been on my To-Stalk List.  Situated on the bustling Admiralty Way amongst upscale hotels and high-rise apartment buildings, the nautical-themed The…

  • Le Chene French Cuisine from “Sharp Objects”

    Le Chene French Cuisine from “Sharp Objects”

    ‘ I am a very black and white person.  Opinions typically come to me immediately and tend to swing towards either loving or hating something.  I don’t deal much in grey.  For some reason, though, I cannot decide if I like Sharp Objects.  I thoroughly enjoyed the Gillian Flynn novel on which the new HBO…

  • Shannen Doherty’s Former House

    Shannen Doherty’s Former House

    ‘ One of the first locations I ever stalked, long before I moved to the L.A. area, was the residence that Shannen Doherty called home during the height of her Beverly Hills, 90210 fame.  I was on summer vacation in between my Junior and Senior years of college at the time and had flown down…

  • Brand Library from “Scorpion”

    Brand Library from “Scorpion”

    ‘ I am probably the only person you will ever hear say this, but I absolutely loved working as a background actor in Hollywood.  Sure, the hours were long and unpredictable and the work tedious and repetitive, but the opportunities I was afforded to be up-close-and-personal with the inner workings of movie and television production…

  • The “All of My Heart” Farmhouse

    The “All of My Heart” Farmhouse

    ‘ It seems that every time I turn around lately, I come across someone who is obsessed with Hallmark Channel made-for-television movies. First it was my grandma, who couldn’t stop talking about them at Christmas.  Around that same time, I started hearing about the flicks from my uncle’s girlfriend, who binge-watches them like crazy, much…

  • The Ojai Valley Inn & Spa from “The Bachelorette”

    The Ojai Valley Inn & Spa from “The Bachelorette”

    ‘ I know I said yesterday that today’s post would be about a Behind the Candelabra location, but I wound up getting a bit distracted by a spot that I stalked well over two years ago – the Ojai Valley Inn & Spa which appeared on this week’s episode of The Bachelorette. So y’all will…
