TDW 1229 - Benson : TV Show Mansion Location

0:03 welcome everyone Adam the woo here take

0:03 a look at this old classic car just

0:05 sitting here on the side of the road and

0:10 you got to wonder how long this

0:13 vehicle has been here and look check it

0:16 out there are safety features on this

0:20 car because clearly the airbag has

0:24 deployed right there it's my second

0:26 channel daily Vlog channel it's the

0:28 daily woo I here with Jay and Jay I'm

0:32 wondering do you think that this car

0:34 could have belonged to the early

0:38 1980s sitcom star

0:42 Benson it looks early familiar to the

0:44 car he drove I don't know if it really

0:46 is or not but it's a good segue to

0:48 today's Vlog we are roaming around

0:52 Pasadena

0:53 California and we are standing in front

0:56 of the Benson Mansion it's right over

0:59 here us would you guys like to see it

1:01 should I show them Jay I know I want to

1:03 see it should I show them the Benson

1:05 mansion from the ABC TV series that ran

1:10 for Seven Seasons from 1979 to 1986 only

1:14 if you give it the proper introduction

1:17 what would that be Shunk Gunk is that

1:20 how it goes well that's a short version

1:21 I'll give the extended version say hello

1:23 now to

1:31 this

1:31 and then sing the theme song

1:39 also that's the actually the Benson

1:42 theme

1:51 song this place is awesome ins look at

1:51 this and I also read online that this

1:53 was actually used in an episode you

1:55 ready for this now of

1:58 Columbo so you can do Columbo like

2:00 research of your own and also Not only

2:03 was it used in Benson but it was also

2:05 used in Lieutenant Columbo Peter faul

2:08 that exceptional detective show but also

2:11 do your own Columbo likee research and

2:13 let me know what other movies and

2:15 television shows that the Benson Mansion

2:20 was actually used in I also read I will

2:23 tell you this that it was also used in I

2:25 don't know if the internet is correct on

2:27 this but did you ever see the 1993 movie

2:30 version of The Beverly Hillbillies TV

2:32 show starring Jim vanney no this was

2:36 used as one of the homes this was not

2:38 The Beverly Hillbillies Mansion but it

2:41 was used as one of the

2:43 friends mansions in the TV show in the

2:46 movie of the TV show basically fish of B

2:49 A's house too it does kind of look we're

2:51 actually kind of close to Bel Air now

2:53 not super close like we are in Pasadena

2:55 B air is over more towards like

2:57 Hollywood and that whole area Burbank

3:00 in that area but we're in this the same

3:02 general Greater Los Angeles vicinity but

3:05 look at this does this look familiar to

3:08 you as it does to me of course the very

3:11 famous intro you can actually look up on

3:13 YouTube of Benson the very first season

3:16 of Benson Benson pulls up right here in

3:20 a taxi so let's go through the first

3:24 season intro Benson pulls up in a taxi

3:27 right here pulls in to this driveway and

3:32 of course back in 1979 they had a huge

3:35 Rock pillar this was actually much more

3:37 massive and there was actually a gate

3:40 that went across this so he gets out of

3:42 the cab right here and he starts walking

3:46 up the driveway and you see the house

3:49 from this angle here and as he's walking

3:52 up you know what happens as he's walking

3:54 up the driveway something happens from

3:57 the grass something pops up

4:00 thwarting his ability to actually

4:04 approach the house you remember what

4:05 that is Jay well judging from the grass

4:07 when we walked by there's like 150

4:09 sprinklers in the grass I'm s when one

4:11 or two of them went off actually all of

4:13 them all of them went went off as he was

4:15 walking you are right Jay all the

4:17 sprinklers started to go up and he's

4:19 kind of like swatting at the sprinklers

4:21 like flies almost like they were like

4:23 bees because when you're getting

4:24 attacked by a sprinkler pretend like

4:27 there are bees around you and as he's

4:29 approaching in the front of the house

4:31 then two Doberman Pinchers which are

4:34 dogs super friendly start to they are

4:36 friendly but it's interesting I remember

4:37 on Magnum PI also in other TV shows you

4:40 always when you're a kid and you see

4:42 Doberman Pines you're always terrified

4:44 but they're really very friendly dogs

4:45 why how come they're so menacing on film

4:48 but so kind in real life that is the

4:50 Eternal question so two Doberman

4:52 Pinchers are charging him he gets

4:55 frightened he runs up be and hides

4:58 behind one of the pillars

5:00 right up there and then runs around the

5:03 yard and then goes in the house he is

5:07 actually I think he was a butler is that

5:09 really the correct term or what he was

5:11 and I know it was a spin-off of the show

5:13 soap which is basically a spoof on soap

5:16 operas and he was one of the characters

5:18 he was a butler who was named Benson and

5:21 then he be had his own show that went on

5:24 to ABC and became very very successful

5:27 so I don't maybe you will know this am

5:29 not 100% sure on this fact but was he an

5:32 actual Butler in Benson as he was in

5:34 soap or did he have a different title

5:37 I'm going to say it's the same he was a

5:39 butler he was a but definitely had to be

5:40 a butler there is a squirrel right there

5:43 in the tree we should name that squirrel

5:46 Benson Benson the see at Disney when I

5:49 go to Disney there is Benn at the duck

5:51 that's right that's right right there so

5:53 we have Bennett the duck and we have

5:55 Benson the squirrel what does he sound

5:58 like Benson what is I don't I know what

5:59 Benson this oh you see him jump he just

6:03 leaped you probably will not be able to

6:04 you probably will not be able to see

6:05 this cuz this Vlog will not be in HD

6:07 because Jay and I are going to be

6:08 roaming around seeing some stuff getting

6:10 lch hanging out I will be uploading this

6:12 so this will probably be in 360 a lot of

6:14 people always ask how come all your

6:16 Vlogs are not in HD cuz sometimes when I

6:18 am out and about I try to get the Vlogs

6:20 up at a decent time frame I do not have

6:23 the ability to go back home and upload

6:24 them on decent Wi-Fi I upload them from

6:27 my cell phone data so this one this

6:30 Benson Vlog awesome will be in

6:33 360 today so let's get a front face look

6:37 at the house but look at how many

6:38 sprinklers are in the grass oh my gosh

6:40 you are right at first I thought we were

6:42 on the filming locations of Catty Shack

6:44 and these were all the gopher holes

6:46 these are not gopher holes these are

6:48 actual sprinkler heads look you were

6:51 right Jay that is an

6:53 insane and the grass you really need

6:56 you're right the grass is still dead do

6:58 you really need this many sprinkler

7:00 heads appar yes that is the Eternal

7:03 question and as we actually exited my

7:06 van and walked up to start the Vlog

7:08 there were actually dogs barking now you

7:10 do know a lot about animals and dogs the

7:13 barks that you heard could they be the

7:15 original dogs from

7:17 1979 W you think how long do Doan

7:20 Pinchers

7:22 live that would be 30 good question 40

7:25 almost 40 years ago 30 think that long

7:28 six years ago imagine if a two 36y old

7:31 dopman Pinchers we can chased us we we

7:34 probably would be able to

7:37 run faster than they are running so

7:40 check this

7:42 out the house itself looks awesome this

7:44 is house let's just look at this may it

7:48 be cool to live here yep and look

7:50 through that window or stand up there

7:52 almost like the president looking down

7:53 you right this does very have a very

7:55 white house esque right feel to

7:58 it and for those that actually want to

8:00 follow along at home or on your

8:02 smartphone and you have Google Maps or

8:04 any kind of satellite view technology on

8:07 your phone or on your computer you can

8:08 follow along at home by looking at the

8:11 crossroads of Oakland Avenue and

8:15 Woodland Road right here in

8:18 Pasadena California and there you go

8:21 look at the majesticness of this the

8:24 Benson Mansion remember what I said

8:26 leave comments down below about what

8:28 other TV shows and movies that this

8:31 particular house was actually used in

8:34 also check down below for my t-shirts

8:36 ab. spreadshirt.com and anything else we

8:39 need to add today on this fantastic day

8:41 Jay I don't think we can show it but we

8:43 might have messed with the wrong car cuz

8:44 license plate has mob on it I was

8:46 noticing that the license plate number

8:48 is something like 226 Mo and it says mob

8:52 so you got to wonder does someone from

8:54 the mob own the car and the house or is

8:57 the house being guarded by by the mob I

9:01 don't think we should find out we should

9:02 just get out of here yeah maybe we

9:03 should leave this actually a very

9:04 peaceful peaceful little area we're

9:06 actually in the middle of the road look

9:09 at this there's really nobody for for

9:11 the Greater Los Angeles area or Orange

9:13 County California in general you do not

9:16 see a road like this that is not heavily

9:18 traveled you can't stand in the middle
