You can spend a couple of hours in southern California with a guided tour through Warner Bros studios in Burbank without any remorse. This guided tour takes you to outdoor sets and depending on whats aviable some indoor sets of tv shows and movies.
Examples of tv-shows recorded at WB are The Drew Carey Show, ER, Friends,and Norm.When I visited I saw the indoor set of Lois & Clark and of Friends. That sofa in Central Perk where three of the friends usually sits in, wouldn't sell as fore more as a two-seat sofa at IKEA. The indoor sets seems very cramped in reality. What makes them look bigger in on the flourencent screen on your tv-set are the small actors/actresses and wide angle camera lenses. This arises yet another questions in your head, if the actors are so small , how small are then the dwarfs?

The cast of Friends walking the same fake NYC street as I did ;-)On the tour you will also see the work shop where they make all the props from big background paintings to scale models of things.
Since youre photo possibilites are limited to some generic outdoors sets, my pictures only shows them.
They have city streets, a small town street and a western town. Some which are shown here in my pictures.Fore the $25 I paid ($30 today) I got my money's worth compared to the 5 bucks (I think) I paid at the nearby NBC Studios for their tour, which with the exception of the look at the Tonight Show Studio and Jay Leno's Pontiac Trans Am was Nothing But Crap.
If you go to the Taco Bell, across the Olive street from WB, you will see pictures of mostly child stars who also apparantly have eaten here.
Well, thhhaaaats all folks!
