Q: In "Matlock" Season 2 Episode 8, where exactly is the building that was used as the Los Angeles Superior Court location?

The history of "Matlock's" filming locations is both simple and very complicated -- extra complicated in this case.

It's simple because it was mostly filmed on a few different studio lots. It's complicated because it depends on which season you're talking about, and the show's shifting location was part of a lot of behind-the-scenes strife (when the show was canceled by NBC and picked up by ABC, the producers basically demanded that filming be moved to star Andy Griffith's native North Carolina).

Q: Why didn't the original Mandy come back to "Last Man Standing?" She had such natural comedic timing.

The short answer is the actress who played daughter Mandy Baxter in the first six seasons of "Last Man Standing" was one bit of the fallout from ABC's decision to cancel the show.

The show got the ax by ABC in the spring of 2017, and everyone (the cast included) assumed the show was dead until Fox swooped in to revive it in 2018.

As you say, Molly Ephraim, who played Mandy for the ABC run of the show, has a lot going for her and so didn't have much trouble finding new work.
