Location revealed in Season 6, Episode 16 - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Kabuki · 04-14-2013, 11:20 AM

Mystery solved on location of Cleaver's residence. In Season 6, episode 16, "Wally Buys a Car" he drives through a downtown. In the top picture, you can see the famous Elmiro Theater on the right and the high rise called the Santa Monica Clock Tower Building on the left. The second picture is a clearer view taken on Third Street in Santa Monica, California during 1950s. The bottom picture is the same Third Street at the Santa Monica Promenade....all near Los Angeles!

Okay, that's a point. But that same season, the episode in which Uncle Billy appears, near the end he says he is "on his way to California." And for the season before, it shouldn't have been a really expensive call to Dodger Stadium to talk to Don Drysdale.

True but there were references of cities in California in several shows like hoping to Oceanside, Fallbrook, Riverside and Lumpy saying "I'll move up to Porterville and live with my grandmother"...Porterville is north of Los Angeles. Also a mention of Bellport which was a small town near Newport Beach (Southwest so LA).

Those pictures prove that LITB was filmed in Santa Monica not that it is the location of Mayfield!

Marvo is right. Just like all those movies that supposedly take place in New York or wherever but are filmed in Toronto or Vancouver.

Marlene Holmes says her parents live in CA and Richard says in Mistaken Identity the people who lived in that Munster house all went to CA.

California is probably the best "solution" IMO if you consider Mayfield to be located next to a major waterway next to an Ocean (as in Season 6: 'Summer in Alaska), the reference of Fallbrook, Porterville, Bellport (near Newport Beach), Riverside....all in California.

Also in season 6, Aunt Martha arrives and praises the Cleaver house and said "this place looks so much like an east coast house so far west."

I pretend that Mayfield is in Oregon, never been there, but it looks like a neat place.

Just wondering if other film footage on the series that shows the downtown area of "Mayfield" is actually Santa Monica? There are shots in some of the episodes that show buildings, traffic on the streets, etc.

There were a couple scenes at the local drug store but could not read the street sign.

All this proves is that the rear-projection footage used for this scene happens to have been filmed in Santa Monica.
