Title: Finders Keepers
Post by: bulldog_06 on February 23, 2006, 09:23:30 PM

Does anyone know where the syndicated version was taped? Now, I always thought it was taped at Hollywood Center Studios and not CBS Television City. The link for the Wikipedia entry states that is was taped at Television City. I just wanted to know where it was taped.

The first season on Nickelodeon taped in Philly with Harvey announcing IIRC. I don't recall if the short-lived syndie version taped in Philly or at Universal Studios Florida, which Double Dare had moved into by late 1988-early 1989.

Hollywood Center is correct. Zach, I'm normally not one to criticize you, but your post basically said "I don't know, but here's some things I do know!"

Ehh. I guess most of the time I feel fit to comment, he does answer the question and THEN dumps on the other bits of "hey look at me" trivia.

Wasn't it Fox (formerly Metromedia) Square?  There seemed to be a number of familiar Metromedia/Fox tech names in the credits.

Hmmm. That would make sense. I had thought I was quoting my EOTVGS when I said Hollywood Center, but they only have the first season's origination in there. And Fox was involved with syndicating the show, so I would not be surprised. At the very least, I was certain it was a California studio based on in-show references...sorry....
