One of my favorite hangouts that I've never been to....The actual Fields Rooming House from The Abbott & Costello Show! My buddy's daughter is moving back in with him and was helping him clean out the room when we found his old photo album. This was obviously still on the Universal City movie lot in Hollywood in the early 1970's....

That building in the picture can be seen in countless Universal films and tv shows ... such as Kojak , Baretta , The Night Stalker .... but not the A&C show.

AMOS N' ANDY was also filmed at Hal Roach Studios , and in one episode , Amos drops off a fare in front of Field's building and says " I think you'll like this rooming house. "
I'd like to think of that as an unofficial tv show crossover but , A&C takes place in LA and A&A takes place in NY.Rak , Have you noticed that the movie theater showing THE FEVER in HORROR IN THE HEIGHTS can also be seen in DIRTY HARRY ?It's in the bank robbery , " Feel lucky, punk ? " , scene , ( although there is a different title on the marquee ).
