‘Parenthood’ works to up the Berkeley content

Avatar photo by Lance Knobel Sept. 01, 2010, 12:33 p.m.October 4, 2022

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 […]

Berkeley couple at heart of Prop 8 case speak out

Avatar photo by Frances Dinkelspiel Aug. 05, 2010, 11:42 a.m.October 4, 2022

After a federal judge ruled that Prop 8 was unconstitutional on Wednesday, Kris Perry and Sandy Stier of Berkeley, the two women who brought the case, spoke out at a press conference in San Francisco. One poignant thought from Perry: “For so long, Sandy and I and our family have been regarded as less than, […]

Why isn’t more of NBC’s Parenthood filmed in Berkeley?

Avatar photo by Frances Dinkelspiel July 29, 2010, 3:33 p.m.October 4, 2022

Every since NBC debuted its hour-long drama, Parenthood, people in Berkeley have pointed out all the ways it’s not, well, Berkeley. Complaints are many. There are too many white characters, and not enough people of color. No one is gay. There are too few Priuses in the show, and not nearly enough Peet’s Coffees. That […]

YouTube teams with J-School to make CitizenTube

In a partnership just announced by YouTube, the students now will also be recording video of news events that will be uploaded to CitizenTube, a new news site. YouTube will […]

‘Parenthood’: Might Berkeleyside get a look-in?

Avatar photo by Tracey Taylor May 06, 2010, 11:33 a.m.October 4, 2022

I realize Parenthood has largely abandoned any attempts at credibility where its supposed Berkeley location is concerned. But how hard can it be for a production crew to get a copy of a real Bay Area newspaper on the set? On this week’s episode, character Adam  is seen — very briefly — scanning the front […]

How Berkeley can you be on TV?

Avatar photo by Sarah Henry March 03, 2010, 9:54 a.m.October 4, 2022

Parenting prevented me from attending the Parenthood premiere bash held in — oops — Oakland not Berkeley. So instead of viewing the pilot with local luminaries at the beautifully restored Fox Theater in downtown Oaktown, I watched the start of the series from the comfort of my couch in a modest west Berkeley cottage. Berkeleyside […]
