Yeah I agree! I want to think of Wisteria Lane as a "real" street, not just a set-up piece (: I think it's a magical place, lol, sounds stupid, but I would pay anything to go there!
Priscilla Villegas is there a specific tour you need to take? What’s the tour called just the studio tour? I really want to plan a trip to see the lane
I was on a tour at Universal Studios and the guide said that a lot of these houses are just fronts, like a cardboard cut out. Some of them actually have areas like Mrs. McCluskey's basement is actually not a basement but on the first floor behind someone's house.
The houses of Susan, Edie, Mike, Mary-Alice and Gaby are actually functional houses. Susan’s ground/first floor (entree & kitchen) is in the real house. Her bedrooms and her living room are shot on sound stages. The whole ground/first floor of Mike’s house is real as well as the ground/first floor of Edie’s house (kitchen/dining to the left and her living room to the right.) it got a full make over when Rene Perry moved in. The bedrooms are shot on a sound stage. Gaby’s ground/first floor is real, she can walk in the entree and her living room. The bedroom, bathroom and kitchen are shot on sound stages. This house from the back is indeed ‘empty’ or ‘not done’. the ground/first floor of the Mary-Alice house is real (her dining room and living room as well aa her garage) her kitchen and the upstairs shots are shot on sound stages. Bree’s house is just a shell, for the first season Mary Alice’s house was used as Bree’s interior. Later on she got ‘her own’ interior on a sound stage as well as her kitchen and bedrooms. Fun fact: the bathroom scene was filmed in her own house because she was pregnant when they shot that. Her house on Wisteria Lane has the restrooms for the crew located in it. Her kitchen in the garage is real. The producers and the one who searched for the location to film the series loved this street because it gave the right sense of ‘community’ that’s also the reason why they slowly build the houses to have real interiors. This was done for that extra feeling of community. They could film them outside going inside etc etc. This gave the viewer a great feeling of involvement and again: community. In the pilot episode and the first following episodes after that the houses were indeed just shells or even just facades. They slowly (re)built the houses to have real interiors. At least for the first/ground floors of the houses as described above. ☺️
@@mathijsbeverloo8580 also I watched a video and read about Mrs McKlusky’s house which is the ONLY full functional house without soundstages, including the upstair bedrooms. Every other semi functional house in the lane (Gaby, Susan, Mike, Edie) has the second floors built on a separate stage.
Finally finished the series after not having watched it in real time since about season 3. I feel like I would have been happier not seeing the behind the scenes. I’d rather think the houses were real and they filmed there 😂

Darwy Many of them do not have both, but if there are what seems to be two living rooms, the other is actually considered a family room. Generally a living room does not have a television and where you would entertain guests.
I know I know but it ruins the magic of a tv show lol now whenever i watch it im always like lynette, tom, im afraid the ground floor of your house doesn't have a ceiling :( hehe
Because the inside of the Scavo house is part of a studio, not inside a real house on a street. So for night scenes, they just need to dim the lights outside the fake house to show a darkened street outside. If it was a real house, they would have to wait for the sun to set to film night scenes. That would waste a lot of filming time and add to production cost.
Why not just build 15 full houses with entire interiors and exteriors at this point? It would probably be easier and it would be more complete. Also universal isn’t some rinky dink studio anymore with no budget they have the cash at this point so why not just make one super worthy investment? Just make all the stage houses full homes by now
There are a few reasons but biggest is it is easier to film in sound stages as its easier to control lighting, sound etc, also walls can be moved out of the way for different filming angles/styles which you couldn't do inside the actual home. It would also make it a lot more expensive to make changes to the "real" homes on the street if they were all full houses. For example when they have a house burn down or get badly damaged, if its just a shell its easy to rebuild, but if its a full home it would take a long time and a lot more money to rebuild it.
Yes, like in the tornado episode where they showed the Scavo house being destroyed. If that had been a real house and not merely a fake exterior (which is what it is), think how expensive it would have been to demolish an actual home just to film one episode.

Just take the studio tour a universal studio hollywood. That where everything was filmed. In the backlots of the park
Priscilla Villegas is there a specific tour you need to take? What’s the tour called just the studio tour? I really want to plan a trip to see the lane
@@Ivashaaa It a attraction in the park.
I understand you soooooo well
Very Creative
Desperate housewives will forever be my jam
'and this is the computer where i flirt with my mother' LOOOOL
I like how they refer to tom and lynette as mom and dad
I love how they're still in character
They should've created a real Wisteria Lane for the fans to tour.
There is...Universal Studio
The entire street is real and is at universal studios in Los Angeles. It’s official name is ‘Colonial Street’
@@cmtheone woah, has it been used in other movies/shows as well so?
@@iforgotmyusername11 it was used in the show never have I ever
yea but all they do is drive past and leave, they don’t show anything else
Only on season 5 of desperate housewives and didn't realise the scavo boys turn out to be aiden and ethan from teen wolf haha xxx
Just. plain. Awesome.
I'm glad they're able to share with us how they did it:) Really miss this show!
I want to know how the real houses look inside
I was on a tour at Universal Studios and the guide said that a lot of these houses are just fronts, like a cardboard cut out. Some of them actually have areas like Mrs. McCluskey's basement is actually not a basement but on the first floor behind someone's house.
I saw the real inside in some yt videos, its just an empty shell full of wooden scaffoldings. There's not even a back wall to the house

I know I know but it ruins the magic of a tv show lol now whenever i watch it im always like lynette, tom, im afraid the ground floor of your house doesn't have a ceiling :( hehe
my dream is to have a 3-some with these twins :/
But why using that picture and not shooting at night instead?
It's too difficult to control lighting and I also believe all these houses are empty inside.

@@vidakradenovic Oh yes, that's right. Thanks for reminding me.
The Scavos (except Lynette) were hiding in Karen's house.
