Inside The Warner Bros Ranch Before It’s Torn Down Forever - Walking Tour On Property & In Houses

I know this is an odd upload for this channel but didn’t fit on my current TheDailyWoo channel because I wasn’t allowed to upload it in real time so here it is in all its glory . A raw walkthrough of Warner Ranch ! Glad that YouTube/NerdLocations & YouTube/ScottOnTape were with me to experience this .

The ranch should have been placed as a historical site. It's been there for nearly 90 years.

They could've made a FORTUNE turning this into a vacation destination. Just imagine how long the waiting list would be to book a week in the Christmas Vacation house, not to mention the others! Such a historical opportunity squandered.

It's so sad to see all this beautiful architecture and movie history destroyed. The set designers and builders did a great job in making the buildings look so real. Thank you Adam for documenting this ranch.

I watched the entire video with a sick feeling in my stomach. I’m so glad that you guys got to tour it and that you appreciated the hell out of it. I would have been walking around bawling. ❤️

As someone who is into filming locations, this video is GOLD. Warner Brothers should sell pieces of the most famous homes. Thank you Adam.

The "Friends" fountain is iconic for another reason. Fans of "Bewitched" will remember the fountain as the center of the park in "Bewitched". Multiple episodes were filmed there. Darrin's car is found there as he contemplates Samantha's age in "Maid of Salem". Many other episodes, including "Nobody But A Frog Knows How To Live".

I worked in production in L.A. for 16 years, and before that delivered things for the studios for about 6 years. So I've seen about every notable location... been in every notable building, at least once. I can't under state the loss of history that's taken place in the last 35+ years, in terms of film making. The industry and the corporations that own it now, have zero respect for film making history. None. It always amazes me how you can find a handful of volunteers in some little town, who make more effort to preserve history... than an industry that's made trillions of dollars.

It’s crazy, to some people this video just shows a bunch of abandoned houses, to others it’s memories of hundreds or thousands of movies. Great upload Adam, love the work.

I worked at Warner brothers for over 20 years definitely going to miss this piece of Hollywood history

What a beautiful and perfect community they constructed! Gorgeous landscaping, wide streets with beautiful lawns. So grateful for the tour. Now we have the memories. 😢

So glad you're documenting this. One day we can show our kids where things used to be. It's really sad.

Adam, you should upload this video again with you doing a voice over describing what is in each shot more in depth. Showing stills from the movies/shows compared to what you filmed, talking about the history, etc.

Very sad to see all of this being torn down. You all were very lucky to see all of this before it was bulldozed. The Christmas Vacation house, the buildings from The Waltons, and the Dennis the Menace house ☹️. I also recognize the Bewitched and I Dream of Jeannie houses and the other shows from the 50s and 60s that I watch on reruns.

I have a personal memory attached to pretty much every frame of this. The last 30 times I visited the ranch was to pull set dressing from the many out buildings (all part of the Main Lot Property Dept). Within the first :30 seconds of the tour, I dressed Halloween skeletons in all the front yards of those facades and we wrapped the night doing night shots in the pool. Pretty Little Liars Season 3. 2012. My overall attitude toward Hollywood is bitter sweet. There’s a lot of evil manifest “above the line” and a lot of almost slave-like sacrifice below the line. Gave that damned industry 16 years of my life. I said it then and I will say it now: you can love TV and film but it will NEVER love you back. -Jon Robberson

I watched this channel religiously as a kid, love rediscovering it every now and then!

Thanks Adam. As a boomer I remember many old TV shows from the fifties and sixties shot on this ranch. At some point this was the old Columbia lot and I think Sony bought it and now Warner Brothers. TV shows included Bewitched, Father Knows Best, I Dream of Jeannie, The Donna Reed Show, Gidget, Hazel and Dennis the Menace. The Three Stooges filmed exteriors there all the way back to the thirties. Also, The Fuller Brush Man and The Fuller Brush Girl used that lot. Fascinating!

The first thing that struck me is how well manicured the lawns are, I didn't see one dandelion or grabgrass, sidewalks all neatly edged and in drought stricken California only a slight yellowing on small parts of the grass, I wish I could have lived there all by myself on a movie lot.

The house you said was Sabrina TW’s house was actually the Bewitched house…would have loved to have seen that house! Also I think I remember that pool from an old Twilight zone where the children swim to some alternate reality with an old lady who takes care of neglected children. That was great. I’m so incredibly sick that it will soon be gone. Thanks for the video.

My dad worked there as a set painter during the 60's, 70's and part of the 80's and my sister and I got to go swimming in that pool. To us it was just dad's work, but now I am totally in awe of it all. So so sad to here this has now gone.
