Bottom, left and right: The loading dock exterior is built in the Barham Boulevard parking lot of the NBCUniversal backlot. A lot of action takes place in the employees' break room, shown here during the season two "Halloween" episode.

All wonderful projects, but ranking high among them is the Cloud 9 Superstore. I couldn't be more proud of the show. The crew continues to go above-and- beyond expectations. The cast is magical and extremely funny. The directors are visionaries who make the show look exceptional. Above all else, are creator/ producer Justin Spitzer and his team of writers who are truly the heartbeat of the show. Should we all be blessed with a season three, I'll know exactly what I got us all into this time. ADG
