would you go? I would defintely go to New York City and visit the area used in the 1975 Opening Credits of the Jeffersons. I would really like to visit that area one day to see how it change.

Go up to Boston, to Beacon Street (where they shot the outside shots of Cheers) and go and have a Coke (under twenty-one) in Cheers:D .

The only thing that's changed is the Windows that were on the restaurant (that's now thanx to the show a gift shop for the bar) the drapes were white with a red trim they are now just white. :D Here's Cheers today:

Hopefully someone can post a current picture of the Jeffersons Apt building

I agree with Solomon, I would enjoy seeingthe apartment that they used for the opening credits for the Jeffersons; I hope that area did not change too much, it was quite lovely...

The only neighborhood i been to that was used in opening credits that Sherman Hemsley was involved in was The AMEN CHURCH. I live 10 minutes away from that church

Wow...That is cool...There was zero sitcoms that took place in where I live; the nearest landmark that was in an opening of a televsion show is the Coronardo Bridge in San Diego, which is like 20 miles away...I think Del Mar would be a rather boring opening for any type of sitcom, maybe a soap opera, because it is a beach community and kinda of upscale...

I'd like to be in the same neighborhood that they used in the Mama's Family opening credits...And to see the same house and go inside it...I know they actually used a set for the inside of Mama's Family, but I want to see how they compare. :D

Then, like DianeChambers, I'd like to go see the street they used in the opening credits to Cheers, and go inside it. That would seriously rock. :D

Unfortunately, nothing was shot near me. The closest TV show that took place in a city near me was Minneapolis, where Mary Tyler Moore's show took place. :(

I want to go to the neighborhood in Golden Girls, it looks like a relaxing/quiet area.

I heard it's somewhere in Brentwood.

I think going to Boston to see Cheers would actually be a great vacation. I would also like to see the Mama's Family neighborhood and go inside like Miss Vicki. I would also like to go to Columbus, OH and see where Family Ties was supposed to be set (although they never showed the direct neighborhood.)

I'd like to see Bel Air, calif. which was used for Beverly Hills in "The Beverly Hillbillies".

BUT, I already saw it back when I vacationed in California in 1988. And I saw the mansion that was used in the show-if you're evver out there, don't expect to find it. It was, unfortunataly, torn down years ago.:crying: :crying:

Since one of my favorite cities is San Francisco and I already have visited, the neighborhood where the opening shots for "Full House" and "Too Close for Comfort" were filmed.
