BURBANK/SAN FERNANDO VALLEY

The obvious are the entertainment related. Lets start northeast and work our way south. 10 miles north of downtown is GLENDALE & BURBANK. Not as well know but thats where the inside work of entertainment is. Glendale is home to DreamWorks Animation and Nickelodeon Animation studios (no tours) and hundreds of small production studios, special effects and prop houses. As we move to Burbank, NBCs West Coast HQs & Disneys main HQs are there (both on Olive St.). A block away is Disney Animation and Disney Channels building. The Disney HQ features the 7 dwarves holding up the roof the lot also houses a small studio. It is closed to the public but you can photograph from the street. The Tonight Show is taped at the NBC studios. There is a queue out front on taping days starting by early afternoon. If you look up to the mountain range, the back part of Griffith Park that is where MASH was filmed. A few blocks further west is the WARNER BROS. STUDIO you cant miss the mammoth advertising it is also a working studio and there are tours. I believe you have to call ahead to reserve (unlike Universal Studios). As you continue along Ventura Blvd., there are other studios (mostly TV) that are discreet in appearance such as the CBS STUDIO CENTER where there are always dozens of sitcoms being taped there (Seinfeld was there). You can get free tickets sitcoms usually tape Friday nights. At that point, you can swing south and no more than a few miles away is UNIVERSAL STUDIOS. No great detail needed here, as its internationally known.
