Warner Brothers Ranch locations used in the TV series "The Middle"

ty so much. very interesting. I love and miss that show so much

I thought there would have been more exciting shows and movies shot there. Lethal Weapon and Vacation were like the 2 big movies. Then they had old shows.... The Waltons, Bewitched.... not much else went on there it seems. I thought there would have been more. Still cool to tour.

I never missed an episode of the Middle and never realized all these other house from shows I’ve watched were in it or used for it, especially the Bewitched house. It’s amazing how subtle little changes can make a big difference, especially with our short memory and attention spans. I’ve caught a few things over the years but not many.
I’ve watched so many videos of the Ranch but this one was my favorite. It’s sad that this is all gone now with no regard to the history… just knocked it all down like nothing ever happened there!

This is insanely creative ❤

Wow! Great video! The Middle was a great show that ran just long enough. This video showed me amazing things I had never seen before. Chip did excellent work here!

Unfortunately, the middle set has been taken down permanently.

this was a cool watch ive never picked that up except the backyard

Every time I see the gas station it reminds me of the grocery store in the movie The Mist.

Wow! This was the best tour I have ever seen. Thank you 🙏

tenk you.good explaint

This video is possibly one of the coolest videos I’ve ever seen in my life

The Skeffington house is so named for the central character in the 1958 film "The Last Hurrah" with Spencer Tracy as Mayor Frank Skeffington.

Behind the Heck's car, I think that is Sue's car she got from Aunt Edie!!! Great video!! I've rewatched it like 10 times just to pause and reflect on everything!!! Thank you!!!!!!

Thanks for the tour! Very good video! I love The Middle, I watch it always!

It all gone, Warners Bros razed them to the ground for stupid office building and studios

Wow this was such a great video! Thank you! I watch The Middle every night!!!! It was such a great show!

Now put yourself in the actor's shoes. You will be shooting takes out of order for what will be edited as one scene later. You move from interior stage set to an exterior and back again. Now remember the exact emotion you expressed whenever a specific scene was shot.

all is gone now

As a Heck (actually a Heck) and from central Indiana…still floored to this day when asked if I’d ever knew about this show or if I was related (true story)😂. I was a huge fan

The Bewitched house is seen many times in The Middle and is easily recognizable. I knew the Partridge house was close but had no idea it was that close.

Thank you this was great! I always liked the Heck's house inside and out but always knew the interior didn't match the look outside! Thank you again for showing "the real" of sets that we see on TV.

Sad it's all gone

They got rid of that fountain probably ten seconds after you took this video as it’s not even on the satellite maps anymore.
Such a shame they’re removing such iconic history.
Typical Hollywood I guess.

Racist people

Malcom in the middle?

I thought it was not a back porch but a lanai, there was an episode about it

They should’ve bought more land. Imagine if they’d built their own city in studio city surrounding an active freeway. Build some low density office buildings, some urban buildings and town buildings. Lease them out for extra money. Then build a large suburb and faux rural area. They could’ve had full control over several thousand fake houses. Slowly build new suburban houses as suburban architecture changes over the decades. Then go film Los Angeles when playing suburban Los Angeles. But if you’re playing middle America they could’ve filmed one of thousands of fake homes. It would be very dynamic. Then with an active freeway through the studio you’d have foot traffic and car traffic going to the surrounding businesses the studio leases out. It would be like a pedestrian mall that people drive to and walk around in. But the film makers would be able to use it for personal filming without a permit as it’s their property. But all the suburban sprawl around the fake town could be theirs to build real set homes. It would make movies/shows more cohesive and realistic

I loved The Middle from day one 😍

Has anyone been there to try and grab a souvenir

Wait, "Chip Wood"?

I mean, I always knew every show was pretty much filmed in California but I had no idea they had a “ranch” where they interchange sets and stuff. This is insane.

It's sad that all those houses are gone now.

I miss the reruns

Thank you! My favorite show ever that I still watch daily on Peacock! I'm just going to keep pretending that it's a real neighborhood, especially being from the midwest. Rita Glossner is the best 😂 "I don't see you buying me a drink, eyes up here"

This was great! I can’t believe all this is gone. Very sad

I took a tour in 2015. Happened to meet the executive producer of my favorite show....the Middle and was invited by her. Wonderful memories! And I am SO glad I have many pictures and video. I was so lucky to see this backlot considering today ...it is all destroyed.

Great video! 💪♥️

I LOVE The Middle. I'm so stoked it's on HBO Go right now & have been re-watching it lately. I never considered the amount of work that goes in to something like the Glossner's trashy home until I saw the clips of the house as it normally is versus when they were shooting it for the Middle.

Its gone now they tore it all down.. sad sad sad

You mentioned the Skeffington House. Was it originally built to serve as the house Bette Davis and Claude Rains had in the great film, Mr. Skeffington

Just watched a Starsky and Hutch episode 11 from Season 4, Cover Girl. I'm fairly certain the house of his ex-girlfriend, the cover girl in the title, is a previous version of the Heck's house as the house in the background looks like the Bewitched house.

Too bad they tore them all down.

Привет из Краснодара! Я, наверно, самый большой фанат The Middl, в лакализации "Бывает и хуже". Спасибо за видео, в русскоязычном сегменте Ютьюб нет видео об этом сериале.

Rip the WB ranch

this is insane

TV, GUID, about the middle, the best TV series on TV that nobody's watching,
Great show, 😆

Thank you for this tour !!!

I love behind the scenes stuff like this.

Warner Bros Ranch look like it going to Demolition for new flim studio

Thanks for this Chip. I have an unhealthy obsession with 'The Middle' and this was a real treat. Stay Well.
