On the night that I arrived in California for the #ABCFamilyEvent we went to ABC Studios to screen three ABC Family Shows, Mystery Girls, Chasing Life and Young and Hungry. The biggest laughs from the crowd cam from watching Young and Hungry. When I learned that this show would be a part of my trip I watched every episode and each one provided me with laughter. I was excited to meet the cast the next morning at breakfast. I didn’t know what was in store for us.

On Thursday morning I went to the Sheraton Universal Hotel’s restaurant and picked a table with a few other bloggers. One seat was set aside for the talent. The stars of Young and Hungry Emily Osment, Jonathan Sadowski, Rex Lee and Aimee Carrero as well as Executive Producer David Holden were scheduled to come and talk with us. It would be a round robin sort of thing where the stars would come visit each table and talk with us. We’d ask questions and there was a professional photographer who would take group photos. However, each person was so sweet and nice and they were gracious enough to take photos with whoever wanted them. I used my NXMini to take selfies in smile mode with each person. I also used my digital recorder to record our conversations so that I could write up this post. Below is a recap of each of the nice conversations that we had that morning.

I have never had a tour of a TV show’s set before. I had been to see a taping of a show when I was eighteen. It was The Golden Palace, a Golden Girls spin-off. I remember laughing like crazy. Last week I got to tour the set of the ABC Family TV show, Mystery Girls starring Tori Spelling and Jennie Garth. Getting a look behind the scenes was quite a different experience than the one I had at eighteen. There were still a lot of laughs but also an understanding of the amount of hard work that goes into making a TV show.

This past week I was on an all expense paid blogger trip sponsored by ABC Family (#ABCFamilyEvent, #MysteryGirls, #YoungandHungry, #ChasingLife), Disney (#GuardiansOfTheGalaxyEvent, #BigHero6) and DreamWorks (#100FootJourneyEvent). The opinions expressed in this post are 100% mine unless of course they are a direct quote of someone else.

I had become familiar with the show, Mystery Girls, because of this trip. I watched all the episodes and the night before our tour we watched the pilot episode at the ABC Studios. The Pilot episode was actually released as episode number four. I asked why that was the case, because the pilot episode sets up the whole premise of the show. The reason it was released later was that it was retooled a bit and included Nancy O’Dell interviewing the Mystery Girls for Access Hollywood.
