LA trip part three

Our last full day in LA before the taping of DWTS we took a tour of the WB studios. This was really neat and I had a great time. Unfortunately my darn camera was on the wrong setting so most of my pictures came out really blurry. UGH!! I really should learn how to do photography. Anyway... for those of you interested...here's a bit of the tour.

This is Sookie's house from Gilmore Girls.

The building with the boarded up windows was the grocery store.

This is just more of the city that is being set up for the set of either Pretty Little Liars or Gossip Girl (I can't remember which)




This is Luke's diner set up now as a General store.
They had a car museum. Here are two cars that are from Dark Knight.


Central Perk from Friends... this is a permanent set. Some museum wanted to have it for their display and WB said no... so they have it in this little room just for tours. It's so much smaller in real life!

Our tour guide had a different style of movie and TV so most of what he pointed out was not something I was interested in or had ever heard of. It was still neat... no celebrities spotted and if we go to LA again I'd want to tour more sets. It's easy to see why if you have the acting bug and you go out to LA you'd want to stay. I don't have the bug but thought it would be really cool to work at one of these studios. We got to walk on two sets - Two and a Half Men & The Mentalist. You can't take photos there because it is all copyrighted...but that was pretty neat to see too. I've never watched The Mentalist but want to now that I've walked on the set of the police station.
