Friends -n- LA places, where the cameras roll in all spaces....
After moving from LA one of the things you notice is your friends on TV. Even more than that is the places you visited portrayed as somewhere else. An old abandoned resort by the Salton Sea becomes a bumpin' biker bar in Arizona, your local pub becomes a NYC cowboy bar. Sometimes they get it right, like the laundry mat in Sunset Junction on Shopgirl. See the film Los Angeles Plays Itself if you ever get a chance, it talks all about this stuff.
But the people are still funnier. I've had students randomly pull up my LA friends' photos for use in art projects, twice since I've lived in Indy. Once was Sarah as a glamor girl from an Ad or something, Once was Crystal as a Cyborg (pictured below)

And even though I never saw this on TV it is my friend Jaime Andrews and it is funny.
