A Requiem for NBC Burbank
The sale of the historic location was completed to the Worthe Real Estate Property Group in 2008. At the time, the sale didn’t have much impact as NBC continued to lease back the property while preparations went forward to move operations to nearby Universal Studios. But slowly, over the last five years, things have changed.
Offices emptied out as executives moved over to the Universal lot. The NBC/Universal owned cable networks moved. On July 6th, 2012, the curtain came down on the famous NBC Studio Tour. There simply was nothing more to show a curious public other than nostalgic references of shows no longer in production.
One side of the two elephant doors leading into Studio 4.

Decades ago, NBC painted each studio's elephant door to honor iconic programs that were produced on that particular stage.

For Couples Split by Distance, Two Screens Can Blink as One
Far-flung lovers once took solace in sharing the same big sky. Now they take it in sharing the little screen. They count down — 3, 2, 1 — to begin “Breaking Bad” at the same second. While Facebook-messaging about it on another slice of the laptop screen. While glimpsing each other’s faces on cellphone video chat.
It's obsessively synchronized media consumption in this age when supposedly every viewer is an island: Sync-watching.
THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS' Jerry Douglas: 'Michael Muhney Is High Strung & Emotional'
"I watched him work a couple of scenes with Eric Braeden [Victor Newman] and there were a lot of battles that went on there that were unnecessary," Douglas (John) told RumorFix. "Eric is an old pro and does good work. This guy seemed to be high strung and emotional. He would just blow up in the middle of the scene for things that aren’t that important."

TCA: LOST's Damon Lindelof Rips Network TV During HBO's THE LEFTOVERS Panel, Says Quality Is Higher On Cable
"We can all agree that cable is far superior to network," said Lindelof. "I think that when you slow the conveyer belt down, Lucy and Ethel, the quality control goes up."
