Fans of “Friends,” Batman, Wonder Woman, Harry Potter and even Prince should enjoy the studio tour at Warner Bros., which marks its centennial in 2023.
I’d driven by Warner Bros. countless times, admiring the colorful banners and billboards showcasing hit TV shows and coming attractions being filmed at the landmark studio complex in Burbank, and always longed to get a look at what was going on behind those walls.
So it felt like I was checking something cool off my to-do list, when I pulled up to one of the guard booths at the studios earlier this year and — resisting the urge to say, “I’m here to see Mr. Spielberg” — told the gatekeeper I was going on a studio tour.

From there, we spent an hour checking out the big backlot, occasionally getting off the tram for closer looks at all the cool buildings and familiar street facades used in the filming of so many movies and TV shows.
