This was the category’s best year since 2008, the year before feature production declined precipitously and state lawmakers enacted the California Film & Television Tax Credit Program). They also note that some of the drop in location shooting for TV dramas was due to increased use of studios and backlots in southern California faciliites. I would like to see how many of the hour long dramas on network television are produced in LA. -- TV or Not TV .... The Smartest (TV) People!
