Where To Watch
Can you guess which famous TV locations these movies are using?
These places showed up on the big screen but are better known from their time on the small one.
A lot of time and effort went into designing and building classic TV show sets. Ideally, they would be used for years on a successful series. But even if the show lasted several seasons, it would be a waste to just tear the structures down. Luckily, Hollywood was never short on projects and chances were good another show or movie would come along to reuse it.
That’s exactly what happened with all the locations in this quiz. Whether first built for a movie then later made famous by a TV show or first seen on the small screen before being reused on the big one, these sets were used by both film and television productions.

Beaver's house is the ugliest thing. So wrong. Those half dormer windows stick up in the roof, and the front door is lost in a permanent shadow. That vine has to be fake, no vine grows like that, climbing up in that crazy fashion attached to the front of the house. Those bushes in the jardinières also have to be fake. If they were real, they're placed under the overhang and would have to be watered daily. Also that tree looks insipid, all trunk and branches and almost no leaves.

That was hard. Really made me think and when that failed I had to guess. But it was fun too to see what I remembered.
The town scen in NO. 6 was used in almost Every western on t.v. from the 50's on. I've seen in in "Have Gen...". Wanted Dead..." "Trackdown", Bonanza"....
...and in several movies like "Last Train From Gun Hill"
8/10.
