City Not on The Edge of Forever

CBS Television City "in Hollywood" (actually, the corner of Beverly Blvd. and Fairfax) is being sold. Shows that are done there like The Price is Right and James Corden's and Bill Maher's will continue there for now…but smart money seems to be on those programs and others being quietly relocated over the next year or two so the building can come down and retail space and upscale housing can be erected on the land. That's not definite and let's hope it never will be.

I have many fond memories of that complex as both a kid (going there to watch Red Skelton tape) and as an adult working in the industry. There was something very magical about being in a place where so many talented people were present. You'd get in an elevator or turn a corner and there'd be someone who was at least a little part of TV history and/or your childhood. I hope they don't tear it down. I hope, I hope, I hope.
