OCTOBER 10, 2004 -

LPR got some photos of the NBC-TV show "Third Watch," on location in
Manhattan, October 6, at a building at West End Avenue and 80th Street.

What made this location shot -- woman
prevented from jumping from the building -- of particular interest to LPR was the lack of interference with parking in the vicinity -- compared, say, to "Law & Order," that commands vast amounts of curbspace when it takes to the Manhattan streets.

Thank you Third Watch for your consideration for motorists who continue to try to park at Manhattan curbsides.

As the "Third Watch" scene was being filmed, two FDNY trucks drove north on West End Avenue, for real. This got LPR to thinking about a "Third Watch" episode where location filming results in a situation requiring the services of rescue personnel, with some confusion ensuing as to who is a rescue person and who a tv
actor, and, of course, in the episode, one of the tv actors as rescue person performs heroically.

Imagine for example, filming the scene of a woman threatening to jump from a building and something goes wrong with the apparatus holding the sound man…
