“Parenthood” works to up the Berkeley content

September 1, 2010 12:33 pm by Lance Knobel

Bob Patterson yesterday came across a second unit film crew from Parenthood doing some shooting on Telegraph Avenue. Many locals have criticized the NBC series both for filming in Southern California and for representing a decidedly faux Berkeley.

I wouldn’t count on a major change, but it’s nice that they’ll be interleaving some more footage of the real Berkeley in the coming second series.

    I definitely recognized Oscars in one of the early episodes!

    I can’t tell if the camera’s pointing directly at Peets, or deliberately keeping it just out of the frame. Interesting in either case, since (it’s my impression that) they refer to it in the show as “Berkeley Coffee.”

    You can spot the REAL Berkeleyites by the way they strike a pose.
