That's part of the reason I thought of starting this thread.

What I want to do is create a list of TV Shows and Movies, maybe with links and pictures, so please feel free to post any and all shows no matter how old or new.

Where Have I Seen That Before?

David reminded me of something I totally forgot to tell you in Monday's column. If the town of Eastwick looks familiar on "Eastwick" it's because it's the same Warner Bros. back lot that was Stars Hollow on "Gilmore Girls" including the Eastwick Diner which used to be Luke's Diner
'Medium' finally gets the respect it deserves - TV Gal - Zap2it

Luke's is no longer a diner in Eastwick, it's a shop owned by Roxanne (Rebecca Romijn). The diner is in another building, I'm not sure which.

I thought there was something familiar about Eastwick!

And it was interesting to see this place on Pushing Daisies

Here are some pictures of the town done up for Eastwick, thanks to Copperboom.

They were taken back in April when they must have been preparing the sets.

I think Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman used the lot too. I remember seeing the gazebo.

Steph post them if you like.

I didn't know about Lois and Clark Lindsay do you have any screen caps?

I may add one or more pics to the opening thread for each but aren't we limited to 24 pic's per post?

ETA - I'm 99% sure some on the street near Westons was used in at least one ep of "The New Adventures of Old Christine"

Supernatural was there but from memory it was not on the out door sets but between the different sound stage building, correct me if I'm wrong. I mean is people think it fits then I can add it.

ETA - just checked my dvd and while you don't see the sets I might add it with a note, FYI they also mention Lois & Clark BTW it was S2 ep18 of Supernatural.

Yes the DFI and I added that already.

Looking at the history on the WB site and the history page give you a greater apreciation not only for the studio and the shows/movies made there but also how many that were used in the GG script over the years.

That's funny that Supernatural mentioned Lois and Clark.

A cap from the Lois and Clark ep that shows the gazebo.
