That Girl went to England when Ann was chasing some sleazy mod photographer (this in the year of Antonioni’s Blow Up)
Even worse when they do it live. It’s an awful strain on the animators’ wrists.
That was kinda funny: The scene where they call the cops on the payphone was filmed directly across the street from the studio where they filmed the whole series. I guess the “trip to Hollywood” is a cheap, lazy way to do a road trip episode of a show that shoots in L.A. but takes place somewhere else.
I’m trying to think of a sitcom from the 70’s/80’s that DIDN’T go to Hawaii. I wonder if a show ever pulled off a Hawaii episode without actually going anywhere, using just stock footage and the actors doing scenes at the usual studio with Hawaiian looking sets, or maybe trying to pass off Malibu as a Hawaiian beach.
Didn’t the Partridge Family go to King’s Island as well?
I remember one where Nicholas runs away and they track him to San Diego, and the episode turns into a commercial for the SD tourism bureau.
I’m sure there’s definitive information on all this at TvTropes, but I have to be at work in thirty hours.
Cincinnati. And the Partridge family went there too. The Partridge Family was always traveling, but mostly it was confined to the nearby area (they were lounge singers, not rock stars, I realized, when I watched a rerun as an adult)-- but sometimes they went somewhere outside California.
And New Orleans.
My Three Sons packed up and moved from the mid-West to California something like 2/3 of the way through the run.
The daughters on Switched at Birth were living in China at the end of the last season, and some of the characters had gone to Mexico previously. I watch it for the sign language. Shut up.
*Partridge Family *had their first gig in Vegas. The crowd was fabulous.
*Love Boat *had a very special episode where they took a trip down the Mexican Riviera departing from Los Angeles with ports of call at Mazatlan, Puerto Vallarta, Cabo San Lucas and Acapulco.
And to some bed-and-breakfast upstate. (Monk.)
There are also the Flintstones episodes “Indianrockolis 500” and “Hawaiian Escapade”.
The Scooby-Doo gang were always rolling.
That’s why they always had the munchies.
He (Nigel Prince, IIRC) was chasing her, not the other way around. In the end, of course, she realized she loved Don. :o
NIGEL: [Upon being introduced to Don] Hollinger, Hollinger… I once knew a polo player named Hollinger.
DON: Hmm. I once knew a dog named Prince.
There is also a Perry Mason in East Germany where the commie prosecutor is every bit as inept as Hamilton Burger.

Hogan’s Heroes
Hogan, LeBeau and Kinchloe went to Paris because the medium a German general confided in was a high school classmate of Kinchloe. She convinced him that Hogan was a mute who could speak when under a trance and in contact with Bismarck’s ghost. Hogan arranged for Klink and Schultz to go to Paris by having Klink win a trip as Commandant of the month.
The Germans once had Klink pose as an American and sent him and Hogan to London. Naturally Hogan foiled their plans
“The sign that the patrolman passes in the very first scene in East Berlin reads FISCHE FÜTTERN VERBOTEN or ‘FEEDING FISH PROHIBITED.’”
Hilarious! Some Hollywood set decorator reproduced a random sign without having the slightest idea what it meant!
Reminds me of this incident:
That’s my favorite episode ever. I’m constantly trying to find conversations where I can say “we’re number 1! In your face, space coyote!”
So far, I’ve only been able to use it at my mother’s funeral.
But speaking of Matt Groening cartoons, Futurama has to be included, which leads to the Seth MacFarlane shows
After Mork & Mindy got married, they spent an episode on Ork for their Honeymoon.
King of Queens made several over night trips
They went to Atlantic City, to Florida, to a Carribean Island, to New Orleans, to a Bed/Breakfast in upstate NY. They talked about going to Vermont several times (not sure if they did).
In Cheers, Frasier and Diane went to Europe.
Didn’t the gang from the Mary Tyler Moore Show go to NYC for Rhoda’s wedding? or was that a Rhoda episode? I think Lou and Mary went to Washington DC in one episode.
Wally and Beaver went to see their Aunt Martha one time. I think Wally spent a weekend at friends cabin when he was a senior in high school.
Married w/ Children also ended up at a gold mine in the desert.
