Roger Rabbit spews:
McMansions on tiny lots. No cars or other signs of unintelligent life. Hmmm … definitely not a rabbit colony.
Blue John spews:
Maybe one of the Housewives shows?
Lee spews:
This is definitely a tough one. Very much an accent on “is related to”…
wes.in.wa spews:
“is related to” — well, I’m reasonably certain that in most of those homes, someone watches a TV show or movie now & then.
puddybud spews:
Is it Harold and Kumar Kalpen Modi house who was at de whitey house until earlier this year from House?
Roger Rabbit spews:
@6 Speak English so we know wtf you’re saying, looneytunes. What are you, a damn non-English-speaking immigrant?
puddybud spews:
Well Roger DOPEY Rabbit if you knew who Kalpen Modi is.
Butt you’ll never get that from the web sites you frequent!
SomeRepublicanDullard spews:
None of the garlic eaters in my neighborhood talk like that.
Evergreen Libertarian spews:
Sorry Lee. Some of us hate television and seldom watch movies. Howz about a location from a book maybe sometime? Maybe I’ll go find one myself.
Roger Rabbit spews:
I don’t even have a television. If I want to watch a football game, I either have to go to a sports bar in my neighborhood, or watch a blurry livestream on my computer.
rhp6033 spews:
# 9, 10: A wise decision. I’ve pretty much come to the conclusion that it is television, not religion, which is the opiate of the masses.
Once the History Channel became the “UFO” channel I lost interest in TV altogether.
Roger Rabbit spews:
Getting back to the picture, I think the fact there’s no people or cars is significant. Maybe it’s a movie set? That would place it in southern California.
Roger Rabbit spews:
Could it be part of George Lucas’s movie ranch?
Roger Rabbit spews:
Also, the houses are very close together, on non-existent lots, which again points to a movie set or movie property of some sort.
wes.in.wa spews:
@12: there’s one car. and a bit of junk (reddish thing) in the microscopic backyard of one house.
I’m dubious that it’d be a set on a lot. Much more likely a location for exterior shots, in a real neighborhood. Or the real location of something portrayed in a movie or tv show.
But I’m still thinking it looks like Eastside / East Hill suburbia.
wes.in.wa spews:
So that gets me trying to analyze why Lee would think it was interesting: violence or drug enforcement. “is related to a movie or TV show” might even be someplace that made the KIRO7 news.
No Time for Oligarchies spews:
The buildings are so tight together, do we allow zoning to be that tight for mcMansions?
It looks like it has a concrete wall between the houses and the green space.
The architecture reminds of a warm climate, so I don’t think it is around here.
That feels like California to me.
N in Seattle spews:
I agree with @17. Even the ritziest of California neighborhoods will often have the houses nearly touching each other.
Lee spews:
Ok, here’s another clue. This isn’t just related to a TV show (not a movie), but it’s also related to a recent news item…
wes.in.wa spews:
Wherever it is: if we don’t follow movie/tv clues, we may want to follow bike routes; lots of urban counties have maps of streets w/ bike lanes.
Lee spews:
Actually, let me re-word my clue a bit (sorry). The view is related to a TV show only because of a recent news item…
Blue John spews:
2 and half men is old news, so that’s not it.
I did a google search of “tv show California” and news and
then searched for “Discovery Channel’s “Mythbusters” dublin CA”
that lead to…

There is that red dot
Lee spews:
@22
Good win! That was definitely a tough one…
wes.in.wa spews:
Very good contest! Newsworthy, iconic TV show, frustratingly nondescript location … nice work, Lee, and @22 Blue John!
