Another option would be not to drive but instead take the Metro Red Line subway, which has a station at Hollywood/Highland, literally across the street from where Kimmel tapes. There are park/ride lots at Universal City Station (one stop away) and North Hollywood Station (two stops away). The Red Line runs every ten minutes during rush hour, which would give you plenty of trip choices to make it to the theatre well before 5:00pm. Fare is $1.50 each way; you need to buy your ticket from the vending machine before crossing the turnstiles. From the two aforementioned stations, you need to take the train heading for Union Station to get to Hollywood. Red Line timetable: http://www.metro.net/riding_metro/bus_overview/images/802.pdf (I know the schedule is dated December 2010 ... we don't change the subway schedule very often) If you also want to avoid traffic to/from Television City (and parking) for the SCG taping, Metro Line 780 is a fast connection between Hollywood/Highland Station and Fairfax/Melrose: http://www.metro.net/riding_metro/bus_overview/images/780.pdf Fare is $1.50 per trip, exact change required. 780 is a Rapid line which means it only stops at major cross-streets instead of every couple of blocks ... Fairfax/Melrose is only four stops away via that line. (Bus destination sign is to Washington/Fairfax Transit Hub; stop is literally in front of the subway station entrance on Hollywood.)

Thanks. That's good news. When they first started having day passes, they were 3 bucks. Even 5 dollars a day is a bargain. -Original Message- From: tvornottv@googlegroups.com [mailto:tvornottv@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Jim Ellwanger Sent: Friday, September 30, 2011 3:19 PM To: tvornottv@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: [TV orNotTV] Re: Taking in some late night TVlive Melissa P wrote: Is it still the case that you can ride public transportation all day for $5?

This is helpful, thanks. I managed to find a decent hotel within walking distance to Hollywood and Highland, so I expect to take advantage of the subway at some point. With my flight schedule, I'll pretty much head to Television City straight from LAX, grabbing lunch along the way or at Farmer's Market, depending on traffic. David From: K.M.

I dunno why, but when I went to SCG in his early days (1-2 years) I was able to park my rental car in the CBS TVC parking lot.Then, afterwards, I drove up to around Kimmel, parked in a lot, and walked around. Had dinner at some place in the Kodak theater complex. Parking for me was not an issue. perhaps I lucked out. /doug -- TV or Not TV The Smartest (TV) People!
