Miniature Sound Stages from classic TV shows
"Sets are made of lots of different things but the basis is Lego bricks."
Cheers, The Golden Girls, The Brady Bunch
And some not so classic: Empty Nest, anyone?

What's interesting is how recognizable they are. They're like very familiar landmarks in my brain.

These are fantastic.

The Designing Women one accurately captures what an awful set that was. GREAT show, but the set always looked like a stage.

I loved these. Thanks for posting.

From his profile:

About me...
As a kid I loved visiting Hollywood and seeing various TV sets in soundstages. I was always forbidden from taking pictures so I would come home and build what I saw. I have not built a set in 12 or so years and these make great dust collectors. I chose the programs presented here not necessarily because I was a fan of the show but becuase I thought they had interesting sets that would work well for what I did. Now I have brought them out for you to see and have some half finished ones as well I am finally getting done. Sets are made of lots of different things but the basis is Lego bricks. A set can take from 2 weeks to a month to complete. Strange hobby I know but I hope you enjoy them!

Coming up sooner or later this year...
Wings
Mama's Family....

and that's it!!! Finished!

Too bad. I can think of at least a dozen more TV shows I would love to see him do.
