The Tanner House Exterior

Post by kellydrivex »

Hi, I was just wondering if anybody knew if the Tanner House exterior was a real house they used for establishing shots, or if it was a fake house on the Warners Studio Lot. If it's a real house does anynone know where it is? Thanks.

Not sure about the house itself, but the garden used in the original titles is part of a house owned by one of the producers/directors.

Welcome!
Not sure about that. My guess is that it was based off a house in a neighborhood in L.A.

kellydrivex,

Although not 100% certain, pretty sure exterior shots of Tanner home on ALF TV Series is/was not of home/set located on Warner Bros. Studio Lot. No idea of actual home location, but will add from examination of exterior home shots that I do not believe all interior sets (rooms) appearing on ALF TV Series could have fitted inside the home.

Welcome to the Forum,

Your right, I notcied this from the amount of windows and the angles that change inside and outside the house.

I know it wasn't actually shot in that house or a house, on set somewhere, but it would have been nice to see the house fit inside the outside pictures.

i guess they took some quick shots all in one day, and never came back for more, which is alright with me, but if yo are going to show that many shots of the house outside, just as well to keep it updated to some degree.

I wish I could remember exactly but I'm pretty sure I found a site on the net a while ago that showed where the Tanner house is actually located. And by this I mean the exterior shots you are talking about. I'm gonna try and find it again.

Oh the exterior shots you see of the house before a scene is a real house. I'm just trying to find the site I seen it on that showed the exact address.

Do you have a vague idea on what it was called?
