Stupid Guest Tricks

just learned that all the childhood scenes of travers was filmed on the old texas backlot of universal. nice. some sets you can always reconize but a few. like in sliders tv show.
you can see that all of season 4 was on either the old manhatten street set or the old world sets.
even with repainting and a few new props it always looked the same.
and they wonder why the show died. people got tired of looking at the same sets every week with a new story. even the cast all wanted to quit after a while.

Sorry to differ, but I recognized Simi Valley immediately as the site of their dilapidated-looking home in "Allora". I watched waaaaaaay too much "Little House on the Prairie",also filmed in Simi Valley, as a kid, and as a nurse visited many patients there.
This location was confirmed for me (after I viewed the film) on some movie site or another.

The weirdest thing I found out in my travels is that as well as passing by Roy Rogers' old ranch and the area where they filmed the opening scene of the Lone Ranger TV Show over in the Rocky Peak area of Chatsworth, it was also the location of the Spanne Movie Ranch where Manson and his followers hung out
