    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…

    Slacking Off Again!

    ‘ I hate to do this AGAIN this week, but because I spent all day yesterday in Palm Springs with my dad – doing the final walk-through of my parents’ new house!!! – I did not have time to write a new blog post for today.  I came so very close to finishing the post…

  • The “Love Happens” Houses

    The “Love Happens” Houses

    ‘ Two other Vancouver-area locations that fellow stalker Owen managed to track down from the ultra-depressing 2009 romantic comedy Love Happens were the residences belonging to Eloise Chandler’s mom (aka Frances Conway) and Burke Ryan’s former in-laws (aka Martin Sheen and Deirdre Blades).  Both homes are located about ten miles southeast of Vancouver in the Queens Park…

    The Ohara House – aka Miles’ House from “The Holiday”

    ‘ One location that my good friend/fellow stalker Lavonna suggested that I blog about during my Christmas-themed stalking week was the modernist abode where Miles (aka Jack Black) lived in the 2006 Nancy-Meyers-directed flick The Holiday.  Ironically enough, just a few days after my conversation with Lavonna, my mom and I happened to catch The…

    Kristin Cavallari’s House from Season 6 of “The Hills”

    ‘ Literally just around the corner from Philippe Chow, the restaurant that I blogged about on Tuesday where Brenda and Donna ate veal brains on Beverly Hills, 90210, is the home where Kristin Cavallari lived during Season 6 of fave show The Hills.  I am embarrassed to say that I spent an exorbitant amount of…

  • Izzy’s Deli from “Curb Your Enthusiasm”

    Izzy’s Deli from “Curb Your Enthusiasm”

    ‘ Because our flight home from Switzerland landed smack dab in the middle of rush hour on a Friday evening, the Grim Cheaper and I decided to book a hotel and spend the night near the airport rather than make what probably would have been a four-plus hour drive to Palm Springs. It turned out…

  • The “Yes, Dear” House

    The “Yes, Dear” House

    ‘ One show that I never really understood the appeal of is Yes, Dear.  My dad loved the sitcom, which ran from 2000 to 2006, and watched it regularly, but I always found the characters slightly unlikable and the storylines a bit ridiculous.  Nevertheless, when I received an email from a fellow stalker named Jeremy…
