A friend and I came to MBS Media Campus (Manhattan Beach Studios) on a Saturday afternoon for a…read moretaping of America's Funniest Home Videos. In fact, it was the very first episode to feature new host Alphonso Ribiero. At the time of this review, the premier of the 26th season and the 1st to showcase Al (as production staff called him) has not even aired. So I will not get into the videos that will be seen. What I can tell you is that we had a great time. We were told to dress nice and my friend was given a card that said she was a finalist for best dressed. I should have been a male finalist with my suit and homemade plaid bow tie but I guess I was overlooked. At least she was honored. Best of all, we laughed and cheered for almost the entire 3 1/2 hours it took to film. Upon arrival, we were greated by very professional yet friendly gate guards who checked my ID and directed me to the nearby parking structure where we would show our tickets and sign our waivers for appearing on film. The staff here, not affiliated with the studio, were OK. Some were friendly. Some were maybe a bit gruff with us. They were repeatedly telling people that is was the last chance they would have to use the restroom for many hours once filming started. At least the restrooms were near and clean. A star for the studio. We were all standing outside in the sun during this time with nowhere to sit and nowhere to complete the release forms. I wish the studio had a better facility for that. Having stood in one place long enough it was time to move into the depths of the MBS lot. We walked single file like kids in school past parking lots and sound stages. Past fake plants and real. We walked single file until we reached the sound stage AFV is filmed on. And then we stood on line again. Then, ten people at a time were called into the studio for security check. It was a short but appreciated break from standing in the summer SoCal sun. Then it was back outside to stand on line yet again. I did get to see a celebrity while waiting so that was cool. It was Robert Irvine from Food Network driving by. That was part of an almost two hour wait but we were finally brought inside and seated. Then the magic began. Television magic is special thing. To see how some of our favorite shows are created is a passion of mine. If I had the chance to work at a studio, I would be happy. Seeing all the faces and equipment that go into a production is fascinating. Visiting MBS for AFV is no exception. I was enthralled by the movement of certain seat-fillers and standby audience memebers. They were shuffled between each segment depending on where our host was filming and where the cameras were positioned. You would never know all the behind the scenes goings-on from the final product that aires at a later date (October 11, 2015 in this case). And therein lies the magic. Having spent several hours on the MBS Media Campus both outside and in, I feel I am at least marginally familiar with the studio facility. I can tell you that it is very clean and well maintained. It looks and feels much newer than some other studios I have been too. It really is a nice facility. And its near the beach. It doesn't get much better than that.

The staff is on top of things and are always making improvements to the building. Unfortunately there is one tenant who forgets that he's at a 24hr building meant for music and rehearsal studios. He seems very aggressive and will yell at you to say that the music needs to be off at 10 pm. He will curse and threaten to call the cops and tell you that the company said there is a curfew when there isn't. That's the only reason for the four stars. I did call the company and they took care of it very fast and very professionally but it Kind of makes you feel uncomfortable that he's there. Other then that, this is a great clean place to get some creativity in. Great prices and great spaces!

In Current Day I found a family - including an 11-yr old daughter desperately wanting to learn to play - to regift My piano to. Francisco & crew picked My baby up this morning, and she arrived safely in her new home. So, mission accomplished. Yayy, Me! Francisco - the face of Paco's Piano Movers - was friendly (treated Me like a human being worthy of respect & compassion), approachable (didn't talk down to Me as if I was a dumb customer), responsive (returned My calls expeditiously), flexible in his dealings (honest pricing & aware of the real life details versus just the conceptual service He provides)... basically worthy not just of these 5 stars, but also the actual dollars that exchanged hands. I was so stressed about moving the piano - I didn't want the recipient Family to toss it in the back of their SUV and get hurt *Bad* or destroy the piano *Worse* - and the pickup took literally less than 15 mins. The entire delivery took about an hour (5 miles btwn us). The new Family was so happy & grateful & excited, and I also felt immense relief and joy at being able to send the piano off to where it would get well loved & well used. Thank You, Francisco & Guys, for making this dream manifest into real life. I Appreciate You :-) sincerely, Shirley
