Do you do this for every show/film that is set somewhere outside of SoCal but obviously filmed there?
- theflyingelvis 4y agoI do
- morelisp 4y agoAnd every alien planet which seems to resemble Canadian prairie.

- noSyncCloud 4y agoThey didn't even film Alien on location, smh
- slillibri 4y agoAt least Kubrick had the good sense to film the moon landing on location.
- stew-j 4y agoA Kubrick-directed LHOTP would have been a different series, too, I imagine. I don't think NBC had a Kubrick level budget either. On a side note, there was a rumor that the Capricorn One movie was filmed on location too: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capricorn_One https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capricorn_One
- ksaj 4y agoAnd every NY or Chicago scene that is actually on and around Bay Street in Toronto.
- duxup 4y agoFor a big chunk of TV / film it was noticeably repetitive.
- dragonwriter 4y ago> For a big chunk of TV / film it was noticeably repetitive. Well, there is a reason for that, and a reason why it is often more noticeable in older works: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Studio_zone https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Studio_zone
- duxup 4y agoOh yeah there’s good reason, can’t take everything on the road, budgets and etc.
- implements 4y agoIt’s hard not to if the show does it a lot - JAG’s ‘orange lit’ Northern Ireland episode was particularly jarring!
- paulcole 4y agoIt’s actually not that hard to keep your mouth shut about it. It’s not like anybody thinks the cast of JAG went to film in Belfast. Pretty annoying to watch something with someone who has to point out something so obvious. Just enjoy the show!
- dylan604 4y agoIf you can't suspend my disbelief, then you've faild at your job. If you can't handle the criticism of your job, get better at your job or get a new job. As if you've never maintained someone else's code and didn't make any kinds of comments about how bad it was or anything similar. Just shut up and do your job!
- paulcole 4y agoI don’t program professionally. Just here to keep an eye on the tech-bros who think they’re above everyone else.
- stew-j 4y agoNot every one, just Star Trek TOS. :) We're about even though, every time she sees a horse on screen she says "Why can't I ride a horse to work instead of driving our 20 year old Mazda?" Having lived in Kansas, Colorado, and Wyoming, and having mucked a few horse stalls in my day--I know why we 9 billion people don't still ride them.
- chris1993 4y agoMy grandmother was a child in the UK when horses were still common in the streets, which was also where all the children played. One thing she mentioned that stuck with me was that when children cut their knees falling in the road they would end up running green with pus - presumably from infections from the horse crap.
- dragonwriter 4y ago> Not every one, just Star Trek TOS There’s not that much in TOS which is distinctly SoCal, since even most of the planetside “outdoors” sets were soundstages, with matte painted backgrounds.
- reaperducer 4y agoThe Gorn rocks are totally worth a visit. After we visited there, I showed my wife that episode, and while she still dislikes sci-fi in general, she now loves Star Trek TOS.
