Where Is Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage Filmed?

by

In contrast to its previous series, “Georgie and Mandy’s First Marriage,” set in Medford, Texas, does not occur at the same location as “Young Sheldon.” Having relocated from the Cooper residence, Georgie (Montana Jordan) and Mandy (Emily Osment) now reside with their daughter CeeCee at Mandy’s parents’ house, serving as the primary setting of the show. The story unfolds in various locations such as Jim’s tire shop and a diner where Mandy works. Interestingly, while these places may be dispersed throughout Medford in the sitcom’s fictional setting, they are all situated within the same facility in real life – Sound Stage 25 at Warner Bros. Studios in Burbank, California. Notably, “The Big Bang Theory” was filmed here from 2007 to 2019, while “Young Sheldon” was shot on Stages 12 and 23, just across the lot.

In nearly all scenes from the show, including Jim and Audrey’s (Rachel Bay Jones) living room and Mandy and Georgie’s bedroom, are constructed sets within a studio. However, one location depicted in “Georgie and Mandy’s First Marriage” is filmed outside of the Burbank studios. In Season 1, Episode 5 of the sitcom, when Georgie briefly visits the famous Cooper house and knocks on his mother’s door, this scene was shot off-site, specifically not inside the studios. While all interior scenes are filmed at the studio, the actual house used for exterior shots of the Cooper house is situated approximately 6 miles away in North Hollywood.

Georgie and Mandy’s First Marriage is filmed in front of a live studio audience

The movie titled “Georgie and Mandy’s First Marriage,” which is produced by the same studio as “The Big Bang Theory,” took over that studio in 2024 following the completion of “Bob Hearts Abishola” after five seasons. Interestingly, both shows are filmed using a similar multi-camera setup, capturing scenes in front of a live audience. In contrast, “Young Sheldon” was filmed with a single camera and incorporated a laugh track instead.

In the premiere of “Georgie and Mandy’s First Marriage,” I found myself chuckling as Georgie humorously highlights the difference between comedic shows and those that lack a live audience. As he watches an episode of “Frasier” with his in-laws, he remarks, “Frasier is a laugh-out-loud show, I just love them!” He then contrasts it with series like ‘Young Sheldon’ where the laughter is seemingly absent. “No one’s laughing,” he quips, questioning if it’s actually funny or not, since we can never truly know!

Steve Holland, the Executive Producer, mentioned that they chose to tackle the obvious issue or audience anticipation directly. “We realized that it was something that would spark a response from viewers,” he said to TVLine, “and so we decided, ‘Let’s face it head-on! Let’s acknowledge the difference and not try to hide it.’ It seemed like an engaging way to immediately communicate, ‘We get it. We know our approach is unique… but give it a chance, I think you’ll find it entertaining.’
