Little OT: Sherwood and, em, Sherman
« on: December 16, 2007, 05:24:51 PM »
Commentators just mentioned the locale as the setting for some of the filming of M*A*S*H TV series.

Paramount Comedy Channel, co-incidentally is having a M*A*S*H weekend right now. I have been wallowing big-time in great memories of truly BRILLIANT TV (and wiping away a tear or two too).

Thank you America, for the best telly of my teens.

Those hills do look DAMNED familiar... ;D

Martin,
 Its funny, but in a conversation with Dr. Childs this weekend, I swore to him that MASH was filmed at the site of Lost Canyons. I know Little House on the Prairie was. Much of Mash was also filmed  in Santa Clarita.

I'm probably wrong, or maybe I'm thinking of the actual Robert Altman movie.

Tommy,
one of the episodes last night was the first appearance of BJ when Hawkeye and Radar pick him up and steal the General's Jeep to transport him to the 4077th.

I could SWEAR they drove right through the golf course!!!!  Some of those Live Oak(?) copses look very familiar. When was Sherwood built???

 ;D

Interiors for M.A.S.H. the TV series were shot on Stage 9 at 20th Century Fox(same stage as NYPD Blue). Exteriors were mostly in the hills above Malibu Canyon(Malibu Creek I think). I'm sure there were times over the long life of the series when they were in both Lake Sherwood and Simi Valley.

My all time fav TV show. There is supposedly a hiking trail in the Malibu canyon area where you can go the camp site. There is still an old jeep and ambulance used during filming there. My fav episode is when the whole camp gets sick and Hawkeye and Hoolihan have to immunize each other. When Radar walks in when Hawk's got his pants down is just priceless! :D

I think they also shot the original "Adventures of Robin Hood" there, with Errol Flynn and Olivia DeHaviland, in 1938 - the 'Sherwood Forest' scenes. That was a few years before the term 'in like Flynn' entered the American lexicon.

Thank you Mr. Robin.

If you hadn't answered that, you were never going eat lunch (or golf) in this town again! ;)

I have been told by many in Chico CA that Robin Hood was filmed in Bidwell Park.

I think Bonanza was actually filmed (or recorded for TV) on the grounds of what is now Whisper Rock-Upper Course in Scottsdale, right by the old Dick Van Dyke Studios. Certain segments of the "Tarzan" movie series were filmed on the grounds of Bel Air CC in L.A. Also, "Pat and Mike " (Hepburn & Tracy, 1952) was filmed in part on the grounds of Ojai Valley Inn & CC.

Peter

so, did Flynn do the original routing at Sherwood?  Wayne will know.

I recall Flynn (the swashbuckiling Tasmanian) was very popular with the ladies, so he was probably involved in a derivative of routing at Sherwood!

Don't tell that to the people of Kanab, UT. They have a great business going taking tourists to the ranch from Bonanza out east of town.

Parts of Bonanza were supposedly filmed by Lake Tahoe. We stopped by to see the Pondarosa and it was a disappointment. Apparently the opening scenes were in Lake Tahoe and the ranch house was a set on a sound stage in Hollywood.

Don't see any mention of Utah...

Actually some of the "Ponderosa" scenes were filmed in Riverside county near the towns of Hemet and San Jacinto. I know that that this was done for at least a season.

Being one of the younger fellows on this site, I watched a few episodes of bonanza during its waning days and even back then it was painfully obvious the ranch scenes were not shot in actual nature...

It always struck us plains folks funny, what Hollywood thought a prairie looked like.
