We just recently returned from our trip to Hollywood, California. We had a great time. We did a lot of fun things. One of the most enjoyable things we did was attend a taping of the sitcom "Rita Rocks". The show stars Nicole Sullivan (King of Queens) and co-stars Tisha Campbell-Martin (My wife and kids) and Richard Ruccolo (Two guys, a girl, and a Pizza Place).
It was very interesting to see how a t.v. show comes together. From the stars to the director to the camera guys to all the assistants, everyone had their own roles to play to contribute to the final product.
One of the most interesting things to watch was how the writers got together after every scene. You could see that they were discussing how the scene went and whether or not to make changes. A few times they would then re-shoot the scene with a new joke in place. I assume the original joke, that looked good on paper, didn't play out how they thought it would, so they changed it.
So, if you ever have a chance to attend a live taping of any show, I would suggest you do so. It is a lot of fun. And, I would also recommend checking out "Rita Rocks" when it starts again in the fall on Lifetime. It is a pretty funny show that they whole family can watch.

I'm hoping there might be a new spin off character based on the preshow juggler.
More on the juggling to come in a future post.
Very fun and we won 2 t-shirts, during the taping (1 for the juggler) which was also very fun. Definitely a highlight of our trip!
