On Marc Maron’s WTF podcast, Rob Corddry shared that the abandoned hospital in which they shoot ‘Childrens Hospital’ that was also the home to ‘Scrubs’ for ten years will be demolished after the Adult Swim show is done shooting.

This is super upsetting to me. More so than the Scrubs season 8 finale. It’s fun, let alone comforting, to think that beloved shows and characters still exist somewhere in the ether after the show finishes its run, living out their lives. One of the wonderful things about the medium of television, is its penchant for ongoing, seemingly never ending stories - that could go on forever. But with news that the physical building is being torn down it kills the fantasy.

On a related note, as of 2005 when I bore witness, the complete Central Perk set from Friends still existed in its original layout. Housed in a Warner Bros prop warehouse shown on lot tours. Not sure if the coffee house is still standing but if anyone out there has taken the tour recently I’d be interested to know.
