Description
The Prospect Studios (also known as ABC Television Center [West]) is a lot containing several television studios located in the Los Feliz neighborhood of Los Angeles. Opening in 1915 as The Vitagraph Studio, the original silent film plant included two daylight film stages, support buildings and many exterior film sets. In 1925, Vitagraph's founder Albert Smith sold the company to the Warner brothers. Then in 1948, the property was sold to the newly formed American Broadcasting Company, and the film lot was transitioned into the new world of television as the ABC Television Center.
General Hospital, Barney Miller, Soap, American Bandstand, America's Funniest Home Videos, Family Feud, Let's Make a Deal, The Lawrence Welk Show and Welcome Back Kotter were all shot here.
