For you it's the X-files, for me it's been a couple of issues of Bones; the first where they went to the "Pacific Northwest" (Season 1; I think they were supposed to be in Seattle, maybe?) and one of the segments opened up with a long-shot of FREAKING HALF-DOME (WTF NO, editor); the other was something that probably only a native Angeleno with a bad habit of visiting amusement parks would have noticed the subway Sweets found himself in when the "earthquake" happened was rather obviously the "Earthquake!" portion of the Universal Studios Tour....

Still, though...

OTOH, sensitive things like this, where you're basically slamming people's homes because of privilege + don'tgiveashititis, that's worse.

Much, much worse.

	Speaking of things Angelenos recognize in Bones, isn't the outside of their "Smithsonian" actually the back of the Natural History Museum? It's been a while since I've seen it though, and they may be using a different shot now. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Do you know, I've never been to the Natural History Museum in L.A.? Now, if you asked me to identify the Steinhart/Natural History Museum/Cal Sciences, that I could do -- go figure. That said, though, it wouldn't surprise me in the least. I'm pretty sure they used the Rose Garden at USC (which is absolutely gorgeous) in at least one ep. (Reply to this)(Parent)

Bones is hilarious in terms of DC geography too. They had a whole episode centered in "Kalorama Park" showing it with street performers and artists - my mom asked if we could go there when she visited and I was like "Uhh, it's that patch of grass right around the corner from where I used to live - we walked through it all the time."

To say nothing of the fact that they photoshop the Washington Monument into random spots.
