For what it's worth:

I believe that this show tapes in Long Island. Not in Los Angeles.

reply

It does film on Long Island. Bethpage, NY, which produced the "Sound of Music" starring Carrie Underwood 2 yrs ago, and "Grease" 1 yr ago.

The town where Kevin and his family live will be located in Massapequa.
I live in Massapequa, and I'm hoping they'll do some filming around town.

In the previews that bag of burgers he has in his hands.
All American Drive In, people come from all over to go to that place.

reply

Interesting.

Isn't Massapequa the city (town) where the Clintons live?

reply

No the Clinton's live in Westchester County, Chappaqua

Famous people from here are the Baldwin Brothers, Jerry Seinfeld, Steve Guttenberg (North Massapequa), Joey Buttafucco, Dee Snider, the guy who the film "Born on the 4th of July was based, Ron Kovic.

reply

Correct. I had confused the two towns. Thanks.

(They all sound alike.)

I went to a taping for the second episode last Friday. It was an amazing experience to see a sitcom being filmed live. He also signed copies of the script for everyone in attendance and fed us a slice of pizza too.

reply

What was the taping like?

reply

It was definitely cool to see a sitcom being filmed. It took about 3 hours and enjoyed the outtakes. Some of the set is hard to see as its on the side of the audience and depends where you sit. Also they fed us pizza so I can't complain. Kevin also signed the top part of scripts for anyone who wanted it.

On some level, isn't it repetitive and boring? Watching them say the same lines over and over, for repeated takes.

I imagine hearing the joke for the 12th time must kill the humor/comedy. No?

reply

Yes it did kill the joke and I had wondered about that. At times they would change it up and say different things. Sometimes it was better than the original. But one line they would use over and over, the laughs did get lesser and lesser.

One outtake that was funny was the prop they needed for the scene was all of a sudden missing.

reply

Yes, I would imagine watching the same joke over and over would get pretty boring pretty fast.

In fact, even on just the second telling of the same joke, I would imagine that it would lose all of its "comedic effect" or humor.

reply

I'm going to a taping next week. Did they let people go to the bathroom between scenes? Taking my mom and don't think she can last that many hours. Thanks!

reply

Awesome on getting the tickets. Its not easy. But yes if you have to go to the bathroom I did see people go and use it.

reply

Thank you, good to know!

reply

No problem. Hope they give you a slice of pizza too. But main thing, have a great time as if you have never experienced a sitcom taping before, it is something to see.

I just went to the Match Game on Monday and do wonder how this episode I went to would air.

reply

Really? You want to waste 2-3 hours of your valuable time?

reply

Let me guess, you feel it's your own personal destiny to assassinate Kevin James?

Please be my guest.
