11. The Jetsons was inspired heavily by Googie architecture and inte-
riors in Southern California since the Hanna-Barbera studio was
located in Hollywood during the development of the show. The
Big Lebowski was filmed at various Googie locations including
Hollywood Star Lanes (demolished 2002), Johnnie’s Coffee Shop
(no longer open as a coffee shop, but used as a film location),
and Dinah’s Original Pancake and Chicken House. Heat was
filmed inside Bob’s Big Boy Broiler when it was Johnnie’s Broiler.
An episode of season 4 of Mad Men was filmed at Bob’s Big Boy
Broiler aptly titled “Tomorrowland.”
