Universal Studios Hollywood...

Universal Studios Hollywood is a working movie and television studio but it is also a theme park in Southern California. Every time you visit Universal Studios you will see something different because it is a working studio. During the back lot tour on this day they were filming "Desperate Housewives" so part of the tour closed for filming. Just in front of the main entrance to the park was a hot set sign because they were in the process of setting up filming for Bollywood Hollywood.

Universal has rides based on Universal movies. But my personal favorite part of the park is the back lot tour were you can set sets and props from dozens of movies and tv shows.
