Caroline in the City trivia - Caroline in the City Fansite

Continuity errors

Since each episode of the show was shot twice there were several continuity problems, like:

• in Caroline and the Cereal, before Caroline even knows that she is getting her own cereal, there is a box of "Sweet Carolines" sitting on her counter
• in Caroline and the Used Car Salesman Richard applies for job in Crazy Fred's as used car salesman, but when he arrives to the office there is already label "Richard" on the drawer behind Fred's back

Caroline real address

In the series description it's said that Caroline's appartment is set somewhere in TriBeCa, but according to Fred Baron, the producer of Caroline in the City, the cartoons (used between scenes) shows what 'Caroline's building, at 168 Duane Street, would look like filtered through her vivid imagination'. And actually, as you can see, there is some similarity.

Filming location

None of the episodes were actually filmed in New York City - they were shot in CBS Studio Center - 4024 Radford Avenue, Studio City, Los Angeles, California, USA (same place as such productions like 3rd Rock from the Sun, According to Jim, Gilligan's Island, Seinfeld, The Wild Wild West, Will and Grace).
