Two more filming locations identified!

Another two of the few yet unidentified filming locations were recently uncovered - thanks to the help of fellow fans Jonathan from San Clemente (again!), and Brad from San Mateo.

Jonathan did an amazing research to identify the location of the warehouse in season 1 episode Deathwatch, which was used to deploy the illegal immigrants. We initially suspected the location to be somewhere in South San Francisco but, finally, Jonathan took the 'Levitz' sign that can be seen in a distance as a 'major marker' and found the location in Southern California. This segment was actually filmed in the Los Angeles area - in West Glendale, to be precise - which makes it one of just a handful of sequences that were not filmed on location in San Francisco and the Bay Area. 

Brad contributed to season 2 episode Betrayed, starring Martin Sheen as the charming stock exchange broker Dean Knox who has got an affair with the attractive daughter of a successful business man. Their remarkable mansion's location was identified to be in Atherton, just south of San Mateo. I actually think they used two different mansions for the filming here: it appears that the cottage-style mansion right at Valparaiso Avenue and Park Lane was used for the initial driveway scene whereas the pool scene was obviously filmed on the property right behind it.

I would like to encourage you all to check out the unidentified filming locations page so that we can solve the remaining mysteries. I do appreciate your help!

Thanks much to all contributors again! :)
