filmed?In the early episodes,it said CBS Television City,California,which,I presume it was filmed at.But in the latter episodes,it said videotaped at Metromedia Square,Hollywood,California.Where is -or was -Metromedia Square?And a second question:WHY was filming of the show moved?

CBS Television City is a television production facility in Los Angeles owned by the CBS network. Many gameshows and sitcoms were videotaped there in the 70's including Norman Lear's shows. In !973 Norman Lear moved the headquarters of his company, Tandem Productions, to Metromedia Square, a movie and television production facility on Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood. Starting in 1975 all of Lear's shows were vidoetaped at Metromedia Square.

sad to say the old metromedia square/fox tv center was torn down a few years ago i went there in 1986 when i tried to get into a taping of gimmie a break but the taping was overbooked so i didnt get in:(

...the series was taped at CBS Television City in Hollywood from 1970 through the 1974-'75 season (until a few years ago, the opening announcement that had been deleted from the original videotapes was restored in repeats and DVD releases- "From Television City in Hollywood...."), then production moved to "Metromedia Square" [KTTV's facilities] for the remainder of the series.

:tv:

And, I believe Carroll O'Connor moved the final years of Archie Bunker's Place back to CBS.
