By extreme luck, good timing, and a very kind man, I was able to get on the Raising Hope set this past Halloween when they were filming the Christmas episode. It was pretty surreal and a lot of fun to walk the sets and watch them film a few scenes.
Before I get any further, I'll post these pics first. While we got to see the entire cast, I had the good fortune to chat with my crush Lucas Neff and the icon Cloris Leachman.
Okay...on to the sets.... the house is completely built on all sides with many removable walls. Many of the photos are kind of dark as they were on lunch break and no flash photography was allowed!
Some of the living room....
The kitchen.....
The bedrooms....
The backyard and greenhouse....
And off to Howdy's Supermarket.....
From Howdy's looking towards the house set....
Here is the crew constructing the theatre for the episode.....
And the lawyer's office used in the episode....
Some miscellaneous behind the scenes props from various episodes.....
And as always, a visit to the house used for exterior shots.....

ReplyDeleteHey Robert so they only use that house when they want to shoot outside?
ReplyDeleteCorrect, if they need the street and front yard, they go to the location, but if they just need the front porch, they can mostly do that on set.
