The Facts Of Life

The fictional Eastland School in New York, from the 1980s TV series “The Facts of Life,” was actually the Harwood Court residential hall on the campus of Pomona College in Claremont, California.  The same building has been featured in such comedies as “Teen Wolf Too” and “Real Genius.”

Empty Nest

The house from the late 80s/early 90s sitcom “Empty Nest,” supposedly located in Miami, Florida, can actually be found in the Brentwood neighborhood of Los Angeles, California.  The show is a spin-off of “The Golden Girls” and much like that show, a replica of the house was later built at the former Disney-MGM Studios backlot in Orlando.  While the facade in Orlando has long since been demolished, the original home in Brentwood still stands.
