we got back from SoCal 5 days ago and had a blast-
did DL, DCA, Knotts, SD Zoo & Sea World but also had the pleasure of
seeing the taping of ABC tv's "According To Jim."
This was one of the highlights of our trip
You can get free tickets up to 30 days in advance to various sitcoms like
"Joey", "According To Jim", "2 1/2 men", "That 70's Show" just to name a few.
Taping is usually around 5 p.m. or 6 p.m. and can last 2-4 hours.
We arrived at CBS studios in Studio City (not the CBS where The Price Is Right is taped) around 3:45 p.m. for the 6 p.m. taping. I recommend getting there no later than 3:45 p.m. even though the parking garage doesn't open up till 4:15 p.m. as these shows are very popular & having a ticket doesn't guarantee you anything.
As people showed up we were sat down in order of arrival. People were given
cards with a number on them so we knew what our priority numer was.
We were seated around 5:15 p.m. and were entertained by our MC until taping started.
You actually sit in front of the sets where some of your favorite stars work each week. Your laughter is whats heard on each show. In between shots, CBS passed out sandwiches, bottles of water & cookies.
Jim Belushi spoke to the audience several times & couldn't stop thanking us for being there. Be aware that no cameras or cell phone are allowed.
I'm including a link to where you can get these FREE tickets. Unfortunately the shows that you know & love have just gone into haitus until early August but there are plenty of 'pilots' that are available to watch. Some of them star Dean Cain, Fred Savage, Jane Curtain, Marilu Henner, Annie Potts, Camryn Manheim, Nancy Travis and William Devane.
Most shows have age limitations (either 16 & over or 18 & over)
