Spelling's production company, which took viewers to "Beverly Hills, 90210," and then moved east to "Melrose Place," has now driven over to "Silver Lake."
That's right -- UPN has ordered a pilot from Spelling TV about a record store owner (Rockaway Records, perhaps?) who uses his psychic abilities to communicate with the dead and help them resolve issues they left behind. The show is called "Silver Lake" -- and presumably, that's where it will be set.
No word if there's a role for Beck. Or Gwen and Gavin.
But it would be wild to see Los Feliz/Silver Lake actually play Los Feliz/Silver Lake for a change. A big chunk of the pilot to CBS' "Joan of Arcadia" was shot at Skylight Books, for example -- but the show took place in the fictional town of "Arcadia." (No, it doesn't take place in the real Arcadia, the town adjacent to Pasadena.)
"The Shield" regularly shoots around the corner from us (and prevents us from parking on the street on those days. But that's showbiz.). And there's been a lot of filming activity as of late at Cha Cha Cha restaurant on Melrose. Hell, cheesy restaurant chain Chili's even shot a commercial in front of the outdoor newsstand near the Los Feliz Theaters. (As if a Chili's would ever be allowed near the neighborhood.)
