I went on the set of Friends, Two and a Half Men and saw house froms Gilmore Girls and ER. We went to the prop department and saw lots of props that were used in different movies. 1 of the props isn't used anymore because its too valuble, its a standing crystal chandalier there are only 3 in the world and Warner Bros has 2. I also saw Matthew Perry!!!
