The 2017 La La Land Sitcom Odyssey Part 2

Friday, February 23rd, 2018

Bob and I got up on the morning of Thursday, January 5, 2018, grabbed some good ol’ continental breakfast in our fancy Hollywood Super 8 Motel, and then continued our quest of finding a smattering of sitcom locations in the Los Angeles area. We had had fun and good luck doing this the day before, and this day promised to continue the run. Wanting to capture virtually any sitcom location I could find for my Facebook Sitcom Kaleidoscope page, and being a big fan of The Brady Bunch, there were numerous cool sites related to that show on this day’s docket, beginning with the first one.  Read the rest of this entry »

So these winter trips to California… old hat by now? Not by a long shot. There’s just so much to see and do, and with a little planning beforehand, it’s possible to keep busy and enjoy myself every minute of every trip. Yes, of course it was the Hollywood Show that brought me out there again in dead of winter, but once again I was able to stretch the visit to a four-day extravaganza of sorts.

The 2017 La La Land Sitcom Odyssey Part 1

Tuesday, February 20th, 2018

I’m pretty sure the Winter Hollywood Show in Los Angeles was earlier than it had ever been before, so consequently I was destined to take not one, but two vacations before I had even gotten out of the first month of 2017. The fun began on the morning of Wednesday, January 4, when I spring out of bed at 4:30, got showered and ready and left the house by 5:30. I picked up my Dad and drove to the Indianapolis airport, arriving by about 8am. Dad then took my car back to his house, and I waited for my 9:47am flight by eating some Aunite Anne’s in the airport.  Read the rest of this entry »

Ed Begley Pushes the Rug Back In

Monday, February 19th, 2018

I swear I was beginning to develop a complex when it came to Ed Begley Jr.. If it had happened just one more time, his name would have entered the lexicon of trite phrases where to pull a ‘Begley’ would mean that you don’t bother to show up. Literally this dated back to 2015 when the Hollywood Show first announced him as a guest, and he ended up cancelling. Sure, happens all the time, right? But I got excited again when his name re-appeared in 2017 on both the Chiller and Hollywood Show list. I figured between one of the two, I couldn’t miss him. Nope. He cancelled both.  Read the rest of this entry »
