  • My Day on the Set of “The Goldbergs”

    My Day on the Set of “The Goldbergs”

    I debated titling this post “How The Goldbergs altered my Thanksgiving.”  The Grim Cheaper and I were introduced to the ABC series, which is like an ‘80s-set The Wonder Years, last fall and quickly became hooked.  We plowed through all of the episodes in just a few weeks and found each to be poignant, nostalgic…

  • Market from “Mother”

    Market from “Mother”

    I absolutely love surprises! So I was thrilled to receive an email a couple of days ago from my friend Michael with the news that he had written yet another guest post! For those who don’t read IAMNOTASTALKER regularly, Michael is a frequent contributor. His body of work is now so large, in fact, that…

  • Library Bar from “Parenthood”

    Library Bar from “Parenthood”

    In his bestselling book Outliers: The Story of Success, author Malcolm Gladwell asserts that a person needs 10,000 hours of practice at something in order to become an expert.  I’ve been writing my blog for about nine years now, working on it at least eight hours a day, five days a week, which translates to…

  • Avalon Hotel Palm Springs from “The Hills”

    Avalon Hotel Palm Springs from “The Hills”

    Sometimes I stalk places unknowingly.  Such was the case with Avalon Hotel Palm Springs, which I visited back in June 2013 when it was known as Viceroy.  I was quite taken with the property’s yellow-hued Old Hollywood Regency-style theme and took a myriad of photographs while there, though I did not plan on blogging about…

  • Skylight Books from “Veep”

    Skylight Books from “Veep”

    While we are on the subject of historic book shops featured in Washington, D.C.-based productions (you can read my post on Idle Time Books from A Few Good Men here), I would be remiss if I did not mention a bookseller that popped up on my new favorite show, Veep.  The Grim Cheaper and I…

  • Orcutt Ranch Horticultural Center & Community Garden from “La La Land”

    Orcutt Ranch Horticultural Center & Community Garden from “La La Land”

    On paper, La La Land looked like my perfect movie.  I love Ryan Gosling.  I love Emma Stone.  I love musicals.  And I LOVE L.A.  The film just didn’t work for me, though.  I realize mine is a vastly unpopular opinion, but I found La La Land to be too long, too slow, and too…

  • Donna’s House from “Rosewood”

    Donna’s House from “Rosewood”

    I’ve never met a police procedural I didn’t like.  When one centers around an insanely charming male lead who constantly (and comically) spars with his cynical female partner, it’s a guarantee it will make my top ten.  Such was the case with the FOX drama Rosewood, which began airing in 2015.  For those who don’t…

  • The House from “The Brady Brides”

    The House from “The Brady Brides”

    I’m sad to say that we’ve arrived at the final day of my friend Michael’s guest post week. I have thoroughly enjoyed all of his fabulous articles (you check them out here, here, here and here – as well as his prior The Brady Bunch-related guest articles here, here, here and here.).  Today we are…

  • “Too Close for Comfort” Final Season Filming Locations

    “Too Close for Comfort” Final Season Filming Locations

    It’s Day 4 of my friend Michael’s fabulous guest post week here at IAMNOTASTALKER! (You check out his other columns from this week here, here and here, and his previous guest articles here, here, here and here.). Today’s locale is a longtime unknown site from a show I loved as a kid!  Enjoy! Although I’m…

  • Royal Dale Townhouses from “The Ropers”

    Royal Dale Townhouses from “The Ropers”

    Michael, our resident The Brady Bunch filming locations expert, is back once again with a non-Brady locale.  (You can check out his TBB columns here, here, here and here, and his non-TBB columns here and here).  Today’s location is one from way back when, so enjoy! One summer when I was in middle school, I…
