Game shows have been a staple of television since the 1950s, with some of the earliest shows airing as early as the 1930s. Over the years, many game shows have been filmed and produced in various locations. One notable location is Television City in Los Angeles, which has been home to many CBS game shows since it opened in 1952. Another famous game show, The Game, was filmed at Paramount Studios in Los Angeles for its first three seasons, before moving to EUE/Screen Gems Studios in Atlanta, Georgia, for subsequent seasons. More recently, the Netflix competition show Squid Game: The Challenge was filmed at Wharf Studios in London, UK, recreating the iconic sets and games from the original Squid Game series.

Where was The Originals TV series filmed?
The Originals is an American fantasy supernatural drama television series that aired from 2013 to 2018. It is a spin-off of The Vampire Diaries and was also created by Julie Plec. The show is centred around the Mikaelson siblings—Klaus, Elijah, and Rebekah—who are the first vampires to ever exist. The series follows the siblings as they return to New Orleans and get embroiled in the supernatural politics of the city's French Quarter.
Although The Originals is set in New Orleans, Louisiana, most of the show's five seasons were filmed in Conyers, Georgia. In fact, the towns where The Originals and The Vampire Diaries were filmed are only about a 20-minute drive away from each other. The Originals was also filmed in other parts of Georgia, including Madison, Macon, and Rome.
In Conyers, the ornate gatework in Olde Town Conyers was used to portray the French Quarter of New Orleans. Most of the balcony, building, pub, and exterior shots shown in the series are all from Olde Town. The Celtic Tavern Irish Pub & Restaurant in Olde Town Conyers, for example, was used as Gillespie's Pub in the show. Other filming locations in Conyers include the Lewis Vaughn Botanical Gardens and the Big Haynes Creek Nature Center, which is part of the Georgia International Horse Park.
In Madison, Georgia, the city's public green space was used as New Orleans' Jackson Square in The Originals. Additionally, Hay House in Madison, also known as the "Palace of the South," was featured in two episodes of the show as the Mikaelson family's ancestral home.

The French Quarter of New Orleans
The French Quarter, also known as the Vieux Carré, is the oldest neighbourhood in New Orleans, Louisiana. It was founded in 1718 by French Canadian naval officer Jean-Baptiste Le Moyne de Bienville, who served as governor for financier John Law's Company of the Indies. The city was named Nouvelle-Orléans, in honour of the Regent Duc d'Orléans, in an attempt to curry Court favour.
The French Quarter was established as a military-style grid of seventy squares, with a central square, the Vieux Carré or "Old Square". The town plan remains today, along with the central square, now known as Jackson Square, and the church of St. Louis. The district is bounded by Canal, Decatur, Esplanade Avenue and Rampart Streets. The French Quarter is known for its distinctive architecture, a mix of Spanish, French, Creole, and American styles. The neighbourhood contains many restaurants, ranging from formal to casual, as well as several museums, including the New Orleans Historic Voodoo Museum, New Orleans Jazz Museum, and the Museum of Death.
The French Quarter has a rich history, with a mix of cultures, including Creole, French, African, and American influences. The area was inhabited by Native Americans for thousands of years before the arrival of Europeans, and later became a major trade hub. The Louisiana Purchase in 1803 brought an influx of American immigrants, and the city's population soared. The French Quarter's golden era followed, with cotton, sugar, and steamboats pouring into the city. The neighbourhood became known for its nightlife, with bars, clubs, and live music.
Today, the French Quarter remains a popular destination for tourists, with its quaint inns, elegant hotels, antique stores, art galleries, and boutiques. The neighbourhood has been designated a National Historic Landmark, with many significant buildings, including the St. Louis Cathedral, the oldest Roman Catholic cathedral in continuous use in the nation. The French Quarter's unique blend of history, culture, and entertainment continues to captivate visitors and residents alike.

Olde Town Conyers
The town's history dates back to the 1800s when it was known as Conyers Station, a village that grew with the arrival of the railroad. By 1845, regular trains were running through the village, connecting Marthasville (now Atlanta) and Augusta. The town continued to prosper and, by 1854, it had a population of 400 residents, earning it the status of an incorporated town named Conyers. The original commercial centre of Conyers, Olde Town, is now a vibrant hub, home to attorneys and specialty shops.
The residential historic district of Olde Town is a delight for those who appreciate historic architecture. Many of the homes were built in the early 1900s during the Craftsman Cottage Bungalow era and are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The Lewis Vaughn Botanical Garden, with its wisteria and koi pond, offers a peaceful escape for nature lovers.
With its unique dining, shopping, and entertainment options, Olde Town Conyers offers memorable experiences for visitors seeking a blend of history and modern attractions in a charming small-town setting.

Pirates Alley
The name "Pirates Alley" first appeared in print in New Orleans in the 1920s when a gift shop and tea room in the area used it in their advertising. However, it is believed that the name may have been in local use before that, possibly dating back to the early 19th century when the city was home to notorious pirates and privateers like Jean and Pierre Laffite. According to legend, the alley served as a meeting place for these rogues and their associates. It is said that even the local priests from the nearby cathedral would purchase exotic goods from the pirates, giving rise to the expression ""fencing stolen goods."
Another theory suggests that the name reflects an expression similar to "being brought to the lock-up" or "being stuffed into a paddy wagon." It may have been used to describe being thrown into the nearby dungeon, as in "they will take you down Pirate Alley." The alley is located between the St. Louis Cathedral and the Cabildo (the Old Spanish Governor's Mansion), with the Spanish Dungeon once situated directly behind the Cabildo.

Cemetery in New Orleans
New Orleans' cemeteries are distinct from most cemeteries in the United States due to the city's French, Spanish, and Caribbean influences, as well as its high water table. The city's burial plots are predominantly above-ground tombs, family tombs, civic association tombs, and wall vaults, often in neo-classical designs. These cemeteries are sometimes referred to as "Cities of the Dead", a term coined by Mark Twain.
The oldest existing cemetery in New Orleans is St. Louis Cemetery No. 1, established in 1789. It replaced the city's older St. Peter Street Cemetery, which occupied the space around N. Rampart, St. Peter, Burgundy, and Toulouse Streets. St. Louis Cemetery No. 1 is the final resting place of many notable figures, including the ""Voodoo Queen" Marie Laveau, musician Al Hirt, Civil War General P.G.T. Beauregard, and Homer Plessy, who made history as the plaintiff in the landmark Supreme Court case Plessy v. Ferguson.
Another notable cemetery in New Orleans is the Holt Cemetery, which is unique in that 99% of its population is buried below ground. Established in 1879 for the city's indigent population, Holt Cemetery has been the centre of a bone theft controversy.
The Metairie Cemetery, located near the airport, is one of the newer cemeteries in New Orleans. It is the final resting place of more than 9,000 people, including nine Louisiana governors, seven New Orleans mayors, Confederate president Jefferson Davis, and Popeyes Chicken founder Al Copeland.
The Mount Olivet Cemetery, established in 1918 in the Gentilly neighbourhood, is an uncommon example of a for-profit cemetery in New Orleans. It served the needs of African Americans, Creoles, people of Middle Eastern origin, and other ethnic minorities. The cemetery houses the remains of three known African-American veterans of the United States Civil War, as well as the Hurricane Katrina Memorial, a mausoleum for the unidentified victims of the hurricane that struck New Orleans in 2005.
