After securing tickets, we received detailed instructions via the 1iota website. We were told to check in two hours prior to the taping, along with guidelines on attire, bag size restrictions, and the strict no-recording policy. They also made it clear that once filming begins, there are no bathroom breaks. If you tend to get cold (like I do), definitely bring a jacket. Attending the taping was a really fun experience. The stage was much smaller than we expected, and we were surprised to learn that the desk and chairs are actually rolled out each night. Overall, it was a memorable highlight of our LA trip, and I'd absolutely recommend it.

I LOVE JIMMY and his team!!…read more Show was spectacular!! The way they organize the line up and pre-check was flawless!!! They kept you informed EVERY step of the way! One possible improvement could be done - the security check. It is almost like TSA BUT you have to go backwards to gather your belongings. Seems like there is a lot of room for mishaps/errors with that process. Otherwise.... All else was spectacular!! Would I go back? Most Definitely!!!!

I had a quick commercial audition to knock out, so I decided to give them a try -- and they absolutely delivered. First off, the location is perfect -- easy street parking and even parking in the back. The space itself is beautiful, welcoming, and has such great energy. Demi, ran my session and she's fantastic -- friendly, incredibly helpful, and gives thoughtful redirects that make you feel confident. She even had blotting papers on hand to cut down any shine! I loved that you can watch playback on a monitor, and the whole process -- from slate to full-body turn to my two takes for casting -- felt smooth, professional, and fun! Demi is also a master at editing. My audition was in my inbox before I even walked out the door! I'm thrilled to have found such a professional, high-quality self-tape service right here on the Westside. This is my new go-to!

They then took those words back and later handed out a 7 & 8 to another celeb. Jordan's performance was definitely more deserving than a mere 5. This is why I stopped watching this show a long time ago. The judge's inconsistency is ridiculous and makes the show a joke. As if Jordan's dance skills are parallel to that of a basketball player. Like I said - show's a joke.

I truly watch seeing, hearing, and knowing the Bill Maher HBO show as a true benefit and resource…read more Bill always states and shows a variety things that are neat and sweet to understand and enjoy!!! When Bill speaks first at his show, he very gives insight, comedy, and rational sections to us think and know what are cool and sweet!! Then when he as an individual, Bill asks and all that person states to him!! So it is incisive knowing a rational basis to hear and understand both him and that person!! Also, with Bill having three individuals on that show with him, he asks and they respond to all of know what and how are being brought in a comment for all!! Some time it is laughing yell and scream by all three of them and him. However, it comes very funny and providing to all a irrational person they are speaking as a grump!! Bottomline: Bill Maher is really nice to see him every Friday. One time I went to an event of him, and he states and asks us regarding the different elements!! He very much gave us the variety of comments in complimentary ways!! Again, as a retired teacher and administrator, I grade Bill Maher with a "A++"!!

I have watched Bill since on network tv and all his specials.

Paramount films I love: Love Story (Ryan O'Neal and Alli MacGraw); Bad News Bears (the one with another O'Neal, Tatum O'Neal); Grease (I fell in love with John Travolta!); Footloose; Titanic (such a great film!); all the Indiana Jones movies (what's not to love about Harrison Ford?!?!); Ghost (Demi Moore and Patrick Swayze); Forrest Gump and I'm sure I have overlooked some! I grew up loving The Lucy Show and it was filmed in 1968 on Stage 21 of Paramount Studios in Hollywood! Thanks Paramount! I am glad you're around and providing such quality entertainment!

Paramount Pictures has been around forever, and you can really feel that classic Hollywood legacy…read morein the types of movies and shows they put out. They're big on storytelling that feels familiar but still entertaining.....lots of action, drama, comedy, and family friendly content. I always associate Paramount with blockbuster type films, strong franchises, and movies you can just sit back and watch without overthinking too much. As far as streaming goes, Paramount+ has a solid mix. I like that it blends older classics with newer originals and popular TV shows. There's a lot of nostalgia there, especially with older series and movies you may have grown up watching, plus newer content that keeps it current. It's not overloaded or confusing to navigate, which I appreciate, and it feels more curated than overwhelming. Overall, Paramount feels dependable. It may not always be edgy or experimental, but when I choose something from Paramount, I know what I'm getting quality production, recognizable titles, and entertainment that's easy to enjoy. It's one of those studios that's just been part of pop culture for so long that it still feels relevant today.

The Sony studios have free parking and the show's PA's are well-organized and polite. A bit of a walk through a show-oriented gift store and a short walk to the stage.

This review is for the Jeopardy taping experience…read more My party of 2 had a whole ordeal with attending, as we were previously told via email that they were done taping during the time of our visit. In a moment of serendipity, a taping was about to begin at the same time we were there for a studio tour. I'm not sure how or why there was misinformation given to us, but we had to wait on standby to be considered for a spot and they allowed us to reschedule our tour. We waited patiently as all other guests arrived and were checked in to see if we made the cut. At the very end, we were informed that we made it in! All of the other attendees were rooting for us, which was intense but helped to pass the time. The experience was lengthy and involved a lot of waiting around, but it was a unique and fun behind the scenes look at a show we love. The experience being free of cost to attend makes it a great value, and everyone was friendly during our time there. The only thing that could have made it better was to have some snacks, as I did get a little famished during the 5 hour window because I had not planned to stay that long.

Ever since I migrated to the US, I'm so lucky to choose Burbank as my permanent residence. I truly…read morelove it here. Known as the Media Capital of the World, Burbank is where all the studios are located, Disney, Warner Bros, Nickelodeon, Cartoon Network, NBC, ABC, etc. It's no surprise if you bump into movie personalities in the mall, movies, bank and other business establishments. My neighbors are pretty much in the entertainment industry. You would think considering my location and business connections, you would think I'd been to all the tapings available. On the contrary, I don't. Yes, I've been to Jay Leno once as a VIP guest so I didn't have to line up and I even had a souvenir photo with him. But that was it. Until I got an invite to see Big Bang Theory on 8/21/18. Although my ticket stated to show up at 5pm, I was actually in line at 3:30 although show starts at 6:30. I didn't want to miss my spot because I had a guest who lives out of town. Too late for me to find out that I actually had priority tickets which is basically a guaranteed spot. Oh well! My guest and I had seats 5 and 6 so which were in the second row just behind the staff guests. Our seats were right in front of the famous staircase, on its left is Penny's apartment and in the right is Sheldon's. We were so near that we see the stars up close. On the day of our visit, the entire cast was there along with Kathy Bates and Tyler. It's a pretty cool experience and I'm glad to have attended especially when they announced the next day that BBT is finally ending. The taping we saw is actually going to be the first episode for their final season.

I love the Big Bang Theory; I think it's the greatest show on earth!!…read more However the process though of getting a ticket to the Big Bang Theory is the biggest pain; it's not worth it unless you really really like the show. Tickets are obtained at Audiences Unlimited which does most sitcoms in Hollywood. Their site is easy and quick until you want to get tickets for this show which usually come out Mondays. The problem is that their website sucks on this day. It constantly times out and has web errors assuming from so many people overloading it with requests for this show. It reminds me of trying to call a radio station when they are doing a giveaway or a casting director at Central Casting when they've put a job on their recorded line. You would think Audiences Unlimited would invest in more bandwidth but I assume since it's the only show that does this they don't see the need. So if you want a ticket to this show you really have to be very patient and have nothing to do for a few hours Monday morning. I've been lucky enough to get through twice and both times I've literally spent 2 hours trying to get tickets and these weren't even real tickets but standby tickets. I've never ever seen a regular ticket, I don't know if they even exist. Also you can only request 1 ticket at a time. They say this has something to do with the studio so if you want to go with your friend it's best that both of you do it separately. It's possible to request 1 ticket then go back to do another but you also run the risk of space being gone by the time you are finally able to get through again If you are lucky enough to have snagged a standby ticket pat yourself on the back. It doesn't end here though because there is still a very likely chance you won't get in. It really just depends on how many family and friends VIP tickets they have given out who don't show up. That is what the standby audience is for. The first time I went with a standby ticket I didn't get in and I got there early. The next time I got there really, really early and I was still like the 10th person in line. Though this is all annoying to do this for a ticket you can see really it reflected in the audiences that shows up. The audience at the Big Bang Theory are true, true, loyal, loving fans who are willing to come early and wait a whole day to see the show just like the old days where people would camp out somewhere to get tickets to a rock concert. Most of them are wearing Big Bang Theory shirts, hats, sweatshirts, etc and it's like a little community when you are waiting, kind of like the parking lot at a Grateful Dead concert without all the tie dye and drugs. I'm naturally a little shy in big groups of people but I felt very comfortable and outgoing here. It was easy to mingle with people I guess since everyone shared a common interest. I met 2 girls that said they went every week, I met some foreign tourists that just adored the show and were giddy that they got to go to a 'real Hollywood TV taping', I met a pilot from back East who was attending the taping during a layover between flights. For the taping I would prepare to make it a day production. Bring a book, magazines, snacks,-lots of them, a lawn chair or somewhere to sit comfortably because bench space is limited, bring cards or other games to play with the new friends you'll make. Bring sunscreen, a hat, better yet a small umbrella because part of the parking lot (yes, you are actually in a parking lot waiting) doesn't have shade. It's actually pretty fun as long as you treat it as a day- long event and come prepared. As for the show I was lucky enough to get a seat in the front row which made the experience so much better, I think it would be different if I was in the back rows because you can't see as much. You can tell that this cast and crew of this show were very special. At the end of the taping Kaley and Kunal gave out autographs. They thanked everyone and said that they were happy to be there and were happy to be able to be working in something that they loved. I wish Jim Parsons would have come out but he probably would have gotten mobbed due to Sheldon's popularity. I love this show and felt it was a great experience; I would definitely go again however the whole process would have been the biggest pain in the ass had I not absolutely adored the show.
