About the studio...

As a part of its rich broadcast history, CBS has brought us such groundbreaking classics as “The Ed Sullivan Show,” “I Love Lucy,” “Perry Mason,” “The Mary Tyler Moore Show,” “M*A*S*H,” and “All In The Family” The studio celebrated its 50th Anniversary in 1998. 

CBS Television City is built on the former site of Gilmore Stadium, which was the playing field of LA's first professional football team, the Bulldogs. Since then its production facilities have served as home to such shows as “The Carol Burnett Show” and “The Sonny & Cher Show.” 

Currently, “The Young & the Restless,” “The Bold and the Beautiful,” “Dennis Miller Live,” “Politically Incorrect,” and “Hollywood Squares” are taped here. But it's “The Price is Right,” hosted by Bob Barker, that brings thousands of fans here in hopes of being asked to "Come on down."

Fun Things To Do Near This Studio:
 

FARMERS MARKET 
The Farmers Market became an instant institution, when in 1934, a contingent of farmers pulled their trucks onto an empty lot and displayed their produce on the tailgates of their vehicles. It soon became the central meeting place for Angeleno’s. “Meet me at 3rd and Fairfax” has become a common phrase in the city! The Market continues to offer farm fresh produce as well as restaurants, gift shops, magazines, books and services. Sit at the counter or patio of Kokomo's for great BLTs. For Cajon, The Gumbo Pot has delicious jambalaya. Du-Par's is a retro style coffehouse with great pancakes and homemade pies.
