To my knowledge, only the unaired 1978(!) pilot, Pirate's Key, was filmed in Florida. Segments of that pilot were later added to the season two two-part episode of the same name. Too bad the entire original "Pirate's Key" has never aired.MikeS wrote: Well, it was disappointing for me to learn the show started off in Florida, for a few episodes - San Diego, then, as usual winds up in L.A. - kinda sounds familiar - San Diego Chargers of Carson, the Englewood Bolts! I did enjoy the opening scenes of the early episodes, really cool. I had hoped for some more S&S but nothing after the 8 ep marathon. Oh, I'm a native too, born at El Cajon Valley Hospital.
One thing I've always wondered: in the episodes where the Simons travel to (ostensibly) Mexico, were those episodes actually filmed there? Some of the town set pieces look like Universal properties but I suppose all those desert scenes were just California?
