Line 110:
* ''[[The Drew Carey Show]]'' was set in [[Cleveland Rocks|Cleveland, Ohio]], but filmed in Burbank, California.
* A horrifying example of California Doubling in the United States was the short-lived Fox series, ''[[Drive (TV series)]]''. The series started in Florida, going through Georgia, and through the desert of southern California every step of the way. Florida has no mountains, period, end of discussion.
* ''[[Firefly (TV series)|Firefly]]'' takes advantage of this phenomenon, as the show has a Western feel to it, so it is entirely appropriate for every outlying backwoods planet to look like Old West California.
** Despite the fact that it had a comparatively higher budget than the TV series, the movie sequel to it, ''[[Serenity]]'', nonetheless has a planet that, CGI aside, is represented by a local high school campus. The chase scene around the Companion Training House seems to have been similarly filmed in local woods, with the rest of the landscape around it having been filled in with CGI and basically all of the other settings being either soundstages, the Universal lot, or CGI.
* Assuming this is a good example of California Doubling, ''[[Fresno]],'' a miniseries that parodied ''[[Dallas]]'' and shows like it, was mostly filmed in Los Angeles, CA. The first 1 1/2 days, however, were spent filming in the actual city of Fresno. However, due to the extreme 100-degree heat, production moved 205 miles down south.
