The Culver Studios / Desilu Culver
As some of you know, over the years I have loved researching and learning about the production of the show and the Bat-Location stuff is a big component of that for me, so you can imagine how elated I was a few days ago to find some photos I shot of The Culver Studios on an older backup hard drive that I honestly thought had been lost during a system migration years ago.
The photos were shot in late April 2010 on a Bat-location scout with Scott.

Awesome! Thanks for sharing, Ben.

I would have loved to have been there in 1966.

Great shots, Ben. Makes me want to mix up some Temper Tonic.

You have no idea how close to the truth that remark is...

I would absolutely freak to have a well-detailed photo history book on the old Desilu 40-Acre Backlot that was used by Batman, Andy Griffith, Star Trek, Gomer Pyle, Hogan's Heroes, etc. That now-extinct studio site was a Hollywood history goldmine!
