Our journey began on the North Side of Chicago at the location in which the Family Matters home once stood. I grew up with Family Matters always being on at my grandparents house. In some ways, the characters remind me of my own family members.
My next stop was the Museum of Broadcast and Communications. This museum has been here for such a long time and I never got a chance to go inside. It is so cool and rich with history on radio and broadcast. Definitely a hidden gem in Chicago.
Ah yes, Playboy Mansion! I've stood outside these gates each summer and imagined what it was like to be inside there back in the day. Rest in peace Hugh Hefner!
The Bob Newhart statue was the hardest to find! I walked through the entire pier and garden area looking for it. Real funny, Bob! You jokester. One day I'll write a monolog as good as you.
Our next stop was the Buckingham Place in Grant Park. Married... With Children is still on TV and I still watch it whenever it comes on. The cast is full of amazing, talented, funny actors who I looked up to as a kid. Al Bundy, what a man!
Last stop, Billy Goat Tavern! I have never eaten here but I hear the cheezborger is pretty good. The iconic SNL skit took place at this joint. One day when you see me on SNL, they're gonna somehow find this picture of me. It'll be a full circle. ONE DAY!
Through our journey in Chicago, we visited some of the most iconic places in TV history. We had some laughs and we had some fun all while experiencing two different seasons! First it was fall, now it's summer! Thanks for following!
