what TV show houses and/or sites have you visited and maybe been inside, if any?
Heres some that I've seen (but never were inside, though)

the "Bull & Finch"- the boston bar that "Cheers" was loosely based on.
the Kirceby estate-the mansion that was used as the setting for "The Beverly Hillbillies"-they also used to film the outside of it.
the house set from "The Golden Girls"

I rode past the office bulding in Chicago, used for the "Chicago Chronicle" in Perfect Stangers, many years ago.

just remembered, many, many years ago, in the 70s, I was in New York once, and rode past the building exterior that was used for the apt. building on "The Odd Couple". This was back when the show was still on.

Have you rode or walked past the building exterior that was used for the apt building on the Jeffersons?

Isn't the Empty Nest or Golden Girls house on one of the lots in Disney World (MGM?) or is it Universal Studio's?

I'd love to see them if they are at Disney.

I know it's not a TV show but the house that the old woman friend of Sharon Stones in Basic Instinct (the one that killed her husband and kids) is in Petaluma California and I've seen that :)

I've traveled on the bridge(s) seen in the WKRP in Cincinnati opening credits. I've seen most of the buildings that show up in the shots of the city also.

Not really a house, but oh well.

In my opinion, "The Golden Girls" house, is the best TV house, EVER. I think that a replica of it is in Disney World. But, the actual house is in Pacific Palisades, which is not far from my house.

A few sets of Star Trek
The movie set of the movie Small Soldiers.(the house set)

The Tonight Show with Jay Leno - I went on the set of that on a tour of NBC

Late Night with Conan o Brian set

that's really cool. I live in CT and never have seen it. Where is it? is it in Fairfield???


...but as for houses I have seen...
I saw the house they used as the exterior shots of the house from "Magnum P.I.". It's in Hawaii, and I saw it when I went there 3 years ago. We also saw the building from the opening credits of "Hawaii five-o"

I saw the island that they used for the title shot on Gilligan's Island. It's off the coast of Oahu on Kaneohe bay, and it barely looked like when it was used for those shots. I couldn't go on it because it is now part private residence and part research facility for the University of Hawaii.
I wonder what the mad scientist Boris Balinkoff is creating on that island!;)

when I was out in Calif., I saw Echo Lake Park, which is where they filmed "Gilligans Island".-I just saw it from a distance, though, when I passed by it.
