Paramount Studios
I was very excited about our next morning because we were going to Paramount Studios! It is most well-known and famous studio, in my opinion. So many of my favorite television shows have been filmed here and it was going to be a great moment to step foot behind those famous gates.
I am a huge fan of Lucille Ball & Desi Arnaz, so I was thrilled when we were shown Lucy's office, which overlook Lucy Park. Lucy actually had the park put there for her children, so they had a place to play. The coolest part is that it was designed like their actual yard at home.
One of my favorite TV shows is "Happy Days" and I couldn't believe that I spotted Jefferson High School, where Richie, Potsie, and Fonzie spent most of their time the first season. It's actually just office building and a daycare center now, but I recognized it! "Brady Bunch" episodes were filmed here too!
Here's the "lucky" stage at Paramount Studios! This is where "The Lucy Show," "Cheers," & "Frasier" were filmed.
It was so much fun to be able to walk around the working studio and see all of the sets. It's just amazing to find out how many movies, TV shows, and even commercials have been shot here. We walked past a Taco Bell commercial that they were in the middle of filming.
We had a wonderful morning at the studio and we made our exit through the famous and lucky bronze gate. We made sure to touch the gate for good-luck!
At the exit, we spotted a very famous bench. It was one of the benches used in "Forrest Gump!" There were three benches used in the film and I have seen two of them. The other bench I saw was in Savannah, GA. Of course, we had to have a seat on the bench.
More soon!
