From Beautiful Downtown Burbank

I posted earlier today that the old NBC Studios in Burbank were largely empty, at least the last time I visited there…and so were likely to be demolished soon.  I am embarrassed but also somewhat happy to say I was wrong.  Our pal Rich Fogel informs me that the videogame giant, Blizzard Entertainment, has moved in there and done extensive fixing-up…and the place is now very much active and unlikely to be replaced by a Costco.  That's good to hear…

…but I'm a bit ashamed to admit I didn't know that.  Why?  Because I'm working now for Blizzard.  In fact, I was I in the midst of a script for them ten minutes ago when I got Rich's message.  I should know these things.

Anyway, that's another thing that could become of CBS Television City: Some big company could move in and make it theirs.  But CBS is more in the area where you might want to build a big condo/retailer complex than NBC is.
