    Atticus, I was on set for a press event for Episode 200 a few years ago, and I just wanted to thank you again for being so kind that day. I remember talking to you about the possibility of you directing. The entire cast was very welcoming to us as press which I appreciated and it was such a treat seeing the Heck house. I actually live very close to the WB Ranch and it breaks my heart to see that so many of those buildings are being torn down. It's history...! Glad there will at least be sound stages, but it won't be the same.

Friends and family always compared my brother Jason to your character Brick! Everything from looks to personality it was almost like looking in a mirror.

The perfect formula for a hit show. Thanks for all the laughter and joy you’ve brought to the lives of many. You guys represented a segment of the country that isn’t glamorous, and isn’t often the subject of shows, but is real and represents the lives of a forgotten region of the country, between NY and LA. Thank you.

    Hi Atticus!! I cannot believe this video popped up on my feed so unexpectedly, but I needed it! I worked on The Middle as your stunt double for a little while back in… I want to say 2016 or 17. I was only there for a little while, but I had so much fun! Background acting has been one of the best experiences of my life, and seeing WB Ranch brought back so many memories!! I’ve still never gone back to watch the episodes I’m in, as I don’t even remember which ones they were, but I DISTINCTLY remember running around with a trash bag on my head trying to take out the trash in the house. Also, may I just say your guys’ crafty was unmatched. They always had the best snacks and food! I’m heartbroken to hear that they’re tearing down the ranch, and though I spent far less time on it than you, I feel your sorrow. It was great watching you show people around, and it makes me miss the show even more! Those were the days :)

Such a funny heartwarming show. There were times when every character drove you crazy and other times you loved them all. So sad that the buildings have been destroyed. As an older person I grew up on I Dream of Jeannie, Bewitched, The Waltons, The Partridge Family and to see all those houses go, as well as the Heck's and many others is heartbreaking.

I was looking for the place where the TV series The Middle was filmed. But found a couple of youtube videos talking and showing the destruction of the place (WB ranch.) SO SO SAD and BAD to me. I wish i could have planned this visit years ago. I wish this place (and some famous others such as The Little House on the Prairie, TV show places and buildings) had not been destroyed. Thank you much for keeping this kind of videos alive. Just for rememberings and respect of those gone places, and for the actors and people working all around them.

    The Middle is by far my favourite show of all time. I’m in Australia and here when the final episode comes you know the next episode will be the one where Frankie dresses as Super Woman for Bricks school assignment. I have been watching the show for years now and I’ll be devastated if they ever stop playing it. Regarding your question about our favourite flowers mine is definitely the blue iris. I’m a huge Vincent Van Gogh fan and was lucky enough to see the original painting many years ago at an exhibition they had in Brisbane. On a side note I named my daughter Jasmine bcz I do love the Star Jasmine too and when she was born my garden was full of the beautiful smelling plants 🥰. It was awesome talking a walk around the studios with you so thank you 15 year old Atticus for having the foresight to film and share your iconic workplace. 😊

    Adam The Woo has a fantastic video of him touring the WB Ranch. He goes inside some of the buildings and speaks extensively about the different productions that occurred on each set / location. Recently I have heard they are clearing the land for soundstages…but who knows. It is a real loss of Hollywood history.

    Yep. Adam filmed through the chain link just days ago. His video is a documentation of the end of the Warner Ranch. Huge machinery with long extension buckets to smash from the roofs on down. Homes used for Dennis the Menace, Mr. Wilson/Major Nelson, the Hecks, Bewitched and Hazel had the letter K painted on the front. I love this pretend neighborhood. I feel like I grew up here. I did get to drive through it in 96 via a friend. It meant that much to me. Halloween episodes with trick or treaters from Bewitched and the Middle are among my favorites. And speaking of the Middle, the funniest show on Earth. From Rita G. to Sue getting her yearbook back 😢

    So freaking cool to have found your channel! That show is hands down my family's comfort show to watch together. My son is 9 and has seen just about every episode. He's kind of the "quirky/nerdy" kid in his class. He isn't bullied but just hasn't found exactly where he fits in. He actually uses Brick as an example that he's great the way he is and that everything is going to work out eventually. I can't think of a better person or character for him to look up to! You're just an awesome, cool, and incredibly kind guy. Thank you ❤

    I work in the animation industry and worked for WB for many, many years and most of them were on that Ranch. What a lot of folks don’t know is that the majority of WB animators considered the Ranch their home base. I will truly miss the ranch. It was relaxing to go on a short break and just walk amongst those house sets.

    Atticus, I'm so glad to see this. I was devastated when I learned what will become of the Ranch. I have some history there myself. Knowing the ranch so well, when I watch The Middle (my #1 go-to show for smiles) I know right where everything is. It never took anything away for me, it only added - it felt like home. Those old structures along Blondie Street were so rich in the storytelling that was once Hollywood. I can only imagine how gut-punched you feel, and I share that feeling with you.

    Atticus, came across your channel last evening and this was the video that got my attention. First let me say, thanks for posting this. We are big fans of "The Middle" loved the show. I am also a fan of movie and television history and of the studios. Growing up with the Andy Griffith Show many years later I got the chance to visit WB and other studios as well as making a pilgrimage to Franklin Canyon where the Griffth Show filmed the opening scene where Opie threw the rock in the Lake and the former site of Desilu's 40 Acre Backlot which was the outdoor setting for the town of Mayberry. Fast forwarding, this video joggled my memories of visiting, unfortunately got there to late to get to see Laramie Street where so many of my favorite westerns were filmed, it was gone! I was not familiar enough with the area to know about WB Ranch at the time, not realizing it was just a short distance away and I don't think it was open for touring. The video you have posted here is priceless ! This is the kind of content I really enjoy. Seeing the Ranch through your eyes as child actor who was actually working there is down right cool ! Most of the actors and actresses I have met and talked to did not seem to have a particular interest in the history of the backlots or the preservation of them. Well, enough rambling for now, keep up the good work, I will be watching and sharing your videos as...I have just clicked the liked button and subscribed to your channel. God Bless You !

    It’s a shame to see the ranch be demolished. I had the opportunity to work on the lot back in 2002 and take in some of that rich history. But time stops for no one or nothing. Everything is changing. For the better or for the worse…it’s always changing. It happens everywhere and it’s always a reminder to take it all in while you can. Stay present. And be happy that you’ll always have the memories. I love The Middle. Never failed to bring a smile to my face and joy to my soul. Thank you for your part in that. And thank you to all the others that worked hard to bring it into our lives. But all good things… I believe Warner Ranch will become 16 new sound stages. And while the rich history remains in some form or another, new memories will be made just like the ones you made. And in time, everything will fade away.
