"The Beverly Hillbillies" was one of the first shows that took place inside a home with a physical address, rather than in a studio. This enormous 21,523-square-foot estate hosted the series throughout its nine-year run. The 10-bed, 12-bath home was built in 1933.

From its magical debut in 1950s households to today's 3-D, Internet-connected and thin-screened versions, television has firmly planted itself into American culture and daily life. We all have favorite shows — the ones we currently DVR and the ones that went off the air nearly 50 years ago.

As fall gets under way and new programs are added to the evening lineup, we're paying homage to television shows — old and new — with a real estate tour. While many shows, especially in the early days, were never shot outside the studio set, a goodly handful of them took place in real homes that still look exactly as they did on the small screen.

1960s

"Batman"
380 S San Rafael Ave., Pasadena, Calif.

Zillow

Holy mansion, Batman! The 1960s TV series featured a property in Pasadena as Wayne Manor. The 1928 home has 10 bedrooms, six bathrooms and measures 16,599 square feet — not including the Batcave, of course.

750 Bel Air Road, Los Angeles, Calif.

1970s

"Happy Days"
565 N. Cahuenga Blvd., Los Angeles, Calif.  

Zillow

Although "Happy Days" took place in Milwaukee, like most TV shows, it was actually filmed in Los Angeles. The white-columned house that played home for the Cunninghams was built in 1923 and has six bedrooms, two baths and measures 3,904 square feet.

"The Brady Bunch"
11222 Dilling St., North Hollywood, Calif.

Zillow

The midcentury home that hosted the blended Brady clan looks unchanged from its days on the small screen. Built in 1959, the North Hollywood home would be rather small for the Brady family of eight, which is why interior scenes of the show were shot on a studio set.

1980s

"Dallas"
3700 Hogge Drive, Allen, Texas

Zillow

The sprawling Southfork Ranch just outside Plano was the home for J.R. Ewing and his squabbling family during the original run of TV's "Dallas" (the show was recently rebooted by TNT). The home is currently an event center with a special area dedicated to the show, complete with "Dallas" memorabilia, although many of the show's interior scenes were shot on a studio set.

"The Golden Girls"
245 N. Saltair Ave., Los Angeles Calif.

Zillow

"The Golden Girls" characters were living in retiree-friendly Miami on the show, but the home used for the exterior was in Los Angeles. The classic 1955 home has four bedrooms and measures 2,901 square feet.

1990s

"Beverly Hills 90210"
1675 E. Altadena Drive, Altadena, Calif.

Zillow

The "90210" house is not actually located in the fabled ZIP code but 23 miles northeast in the town of Altadena. The four-bed, four-bath house played the home of twins Brandon and Brenda Walsh, and unlike many other TV homes had scenes that were filmed in the interior of the house, rather than on a studio set.

"Charmed"
1329 Carroll Ave., Los Angeles, Calif.  

Zillow

Peaked roofs, gingerbread trim and other Victorian details made this Los Angeles-area home perfect for three beautiful witches in the TV show "Charmed." The five-bedroom, one-bath home was built in 1903.

2000–present

"The O.C."
6205 Ocean Breeze, Malibu, Calif.

Zillow

Newport Beach of "The O.C." isn't a far cry from Malibu where the TV mansion was located. The stately 6,376-square-foot house was home base for the Cohen family and Ryan Atwood, the troubled teen they took in.

"Grey's Anatomy"
303 W. Comstock St., Seattle, Wash.

Zillow

While there's no such thing as Seattle Grace Hospital, the house from the hit medical series is real and located in Seattle's Queen Anne neighborhood. The turn-of-the-century charmer has four bedrooms, 2.5 baths and a view of the Space Needle.

"Mad Men"
675 Arden Road, Pasadena, Calif.

Zillow

The Los Angeles area is a decent fit for 1960s New York City on AMC's drama "Mad Men." The first home of Betty and Don Draper, fictionally set in Ossining, N.Y., is actually located in Pasadena on a quiet tree-lined street. The traditional four-bedroom, three-bath home measures 2,654 square feet.

This week in celebrity real estate, Ryan Seacrest has sold his home after two years on the market and quarterback Matt Hasselbeck has listed his former Seattle-area home.

Ryan Seacrest's home sells for $11 million

Westside Estate Agency

Only one photo of Ryan Seacrest's home was released to the public.

After two years on the market and a price cut, Ryan Seacrest's home has sold. The "American Idol" host (as well as producer, radio and TV personality) first listed the home in 2010 for $14.95 million and then decided to take it off the market for a year.

When he did relist the home, he listed it pretty privately — releasing just one photo of the home publicly. All other interior shots were password protected on the Westside Estate Agency website. That's one way to weed out the paparazzi.

Seacrest's home has established its Hollywood pedigree. It was previously owned by Kevin Costner, from whom Seacrest purchased the home for $11.5 million in April 2006. According to the Los Angeles Times, Costner bought the home from Oscar-winning actor Richard Dreyfuss in 1995 for $2.7 million. The Mediterranean mansion has also been featured in Architectural Digest and was decorated by famed designer Jeff Andrews.

The 5-bedroom, 4-bathroom, 8,172-square-foot Hollywood Hills home is certainly up to celebrity standards with a swimming pool, guest house, detached garage, tennis courts, Los Angeles views and extensive landscaping.

Despite the home's storied past, Seacrest was ready to move on to a pretty spectacular custom home owned by none other than Ellen DeGeneres and listed for a whopping $49 million.

Matt Hasselbeck's Bellevue home listed for $3.495 million

Zillow

Matt Hasselbeck's former home is on a gated lot.

After serving as the Seattle Seahawks' starting quarterback for eight years (2003-2011), Matt Hasselbeck was traded to the Tennessee Titans. He signed a three-year contract with the team and packed up his family — his wife, Sarah, and their three children — to head to the opposite side of the country, leaving his gorgeous Bellevue, Wash., estate behind.

Curbed Seattle reports that Hasselbeck's home — located at 9027 NE 1st St, Bellevue, WA 98004 — was listed for sale more than 100 days ago for $3.495 million.

Built in 2005 and boasting the kind of amenities you would expect from a Pro Bowl player, the property is located near the high-end neighborhood of Medina (home to Bill Gates) and is situated on a nearly half-acre lot with views of Meydenbauer Bay. The 6,340-square-fooot home has 4 bedrooms, 4.5 baths as well as a theater room and large living spaces. Obviously, the home includes a gym, but it also has a heated four-car garage, decks, patios and a children's playset.

Ideal for any celebrity — athlete or not — the home also includes full video surveillance.

Zillow

Built-ins, high ceilings and large windows characterize much of the home.

Hasselbeck's large backyard includes a children's swingset.

Since 1984, the MTV Video Music Awards have reigned as the biggest party in the music industry, mixing edgy performances, off-the-cuff acceptance speeches and the wacky world of celebrity fashion. Over the years, Madonna made us blush, Fiona told us what she really thinks of "this world," Britney danced with a snake, Kanye launched into the interruption heard "'round the world" and Lady Gaga introduced the meat dress.

The 2012 VMAs air at 8 p.m. EDT today on MTV, and in preparation for the big night, we're taking a look at a few places where the Moonman trophies might land once the party's over.

Drake
Nominations: Video of the Year, Best Male Video, Best Art Direction and Best Cinematography for "Take Care" featuring Rihanna; Best Hip-Hop Video for "HYFR" featuring Lil Wayne

Crib details: The Canadian-born hip-hop sensation, full name Aubrey Drake Graham, is tied for the most VMA nods with none other than Rihanna, who earlier this year allegedly sparked a nightclub brawl between her co-nominee and her ex-boyfriend Chris Brown.

Zillow

Drake has been quite busy on the real estate front during the past year. In January he listed two Miami Beach condos overlooking Biscayne Bay for $2.5 million. The side-by-side units boast 20-foot-high ceilings with waterfront views, glass walls and marble staircases, and can be combined as a single apartment to create 5,475 square feet of living space.

Drake's new California home.

In July he purchased a 7,400-square-foot Hidden Hills, Calif., estate that's perfect for entertaining. The seven-bedroom, nine-bathroom private compound features a multimillion-dollar pool with waterfalls, a slide and grotto as well as a tennis court and five-stall horse facility with riding area. Inside, there's a 24-seat theater and wine cellar.

Selena Gomez
Nomination: Best Female Video for "Love You Like a Love Song"

Crib details: The former Disney Channel star, otherwise known as Justin Bieber's leading lady, recently picked up this 4,500-square-foot Tarzana, Calif., spread from actor Jonah Hill.

Zillow

Selena Gomez's new home.

The five-bedroom, five-bathroom home was built in 1956 and features mahogany hardwood floors, intricate crown moldings and plantation shutters. Outside, there's a pool and spa, endless patios and tennis and bocce ball court.

Kanye West
Nominations: Best Hip-Hop Video and Best Editing for "Mercy" featuring Pusha T, Big Sean and 2 Chainz

Crib details: West made quite a splash at the 2009 VMAs when he interrupted Taylor Swift's Best Female Video acceptance speech to proclaim that Beyoncé "had one of the best music videos of all time." Lately, he's been in the headlines and on reality TV as Kim Kardashian's new leading man.

Kanye West's Hollywood Hills home.

West picked up his Los Angeles home in 2003 for $1.75 million. The three-bedroom, 3.5-bath Hollywood Hills mansion sits on a winding drive with views of the city below and is described as a "modern masterpiece."

Lil Wayne
Nominations: Best Video With a Message for "How to Love" and Best Hip-Hop Video with Drake for "HYFR"

Crib details: Weezy, born Dwayne Michael Carter Jr., splits his time between Miami and his native New Orleans, where the rapper landed in the headlines earlier this year when he was cited for high grass at his Kenner, La., home.

Zillow

Lil Wayne's Kenner, La., home.

That home is on the market for $1.7 million and features amenities worthy of any celebrity. Lil Wayne's mansion has five bedrooms, seven bathrooms and spans more than 10,000 square feet, boasting high-end finishes such as stainless steel, granite and marble. The back of the home features a wall of glass overlooking Lake Pontchartrain.

Kelly Clarkson
Nomination: Best Video With a Message for "Dark Side"

Crib details: For years the original "American Idol" echoed the sentiments of broken-hearted women everywhere with hits such as "Since U Been Gone" and "Mr. Know It All," but now she's fallen head over heels for talent manager Brandon Blackstock, which may explain her recent real estate moves.

Clarkson listed her Mansfield, Texas, ranch for sale in July for $1.495 million. The price was later increased to $3.545 million.

Built in 1993, Clarkson's home features a man-made pond in the backyard, lap and diving pools, treehouse, dog runs and walking trails.

Inside, the four-bedroom, six-bath home has 6,880 square feet of living space, including dual master suites, theater room and gym.

When the funny men of late-night TV stand before us, they're alone on a stage with little else to distinguish them except their tailored suits and extreme senses of humor.

Maybe that's why it's an amazing leap to picture these unique hosts inside the amazing digs they call home.

But it should be no surprise these generally self-effacing men of the monologue live like kings. Ever since the creation of "The Tonight Show" in 1954, comedic talk shows have dominated late-night television. That has helped turn guys like David Letterman and Jimmy Fallon into very rich men. For proof, here's a tour of the luxury homes of these late-night players.

Craig Ferguson

Zillow

Craig Ferguson's former home is still on the market.

For more than 10 years, this home was Craig Ferguson's escape from the hustle and bustle of Hollywood. The star of "The Late Late Show" recently listed his Spanish-inspired home for $1.99 million. Built in 1930, the Hollywood Hills home sits on a gated 9,000-square-foot double lot and has four bedrooms, a large pool and a deck overlooking Los Angeles.

Ferguson upgraded to a nearby home for $4.1 million in April.

Craig Kilborn

Zillow

Craig Kilborn's home

First name and TV show are not the only things Craig Ferguson and Craig Kilborn have in common. Coincidentally, Ferguson's predecessor on "The Late Late Show" sold his Hollywood Hills home last April. In addition, both homes were Spanish-inspired, built in the same era and stand on the same-sized lot.

Jimmy Fallon

Zillow

Jimmy Fallon calls the East Coast home.

Last year, Ferguson's rival Jimmy Fallon purchased a gorgeous $5.7 million home in the Hamptons. A born-and-raised New Yorker, Fallon's 2.2-acre Sagaponack estate includes a six-bedroom main home, two adjacent guest cottages, a barn, a heated pool and a four-car garage. Fallon's childhood home, located in upstate New York, is currently for sale.

Jay Leno

Zillow

Jay Leno has called this property home since 1987.

Purchased in 1987 for $2.45 million, Jay Leno's Beverly Hills home has only increased in value. With five bedrooms and more than 6,000 square feet of living space, there's plenty of terrain for the longtime late-night host to wander. The detached garage has plenty of room, too — for Leno's enormous car collection.

David Letterman

Zillow

David Letterman purchased several neighboring properties to create his enormous estate.

David Letterman's estate is by far the largest. Over the years, he purchased property surrounding his main home, creating a private oasis. Like Fallon, Letterman resides in New York, acquiring his first North Salem home in 1994 for $5 million. With an interior of more than 8,000 square feet, the home is a colonial masterpiece, boasting seven bathrooms.

London home owned by Amy Winehouse when she died goes on the market.

The house belonging to Amy Winehouse has been put up for sale by the singer's family two months before the anniversary of her death.

Winehouse was 27 years old when she died last year after a long and public battle with drug and alcohol abuse. 

The house, in London's Camden neighborhood, is on the market for 2.7 million pounds, approximately $4.2 million. A family spokesperson told British tabloid The Sun, "Amy loved that house but none of the family felt it appropriate that they should live in it." Following Winehouse's death last July, fans turned the house into a makeshift shrine, leaving cards, cigarettes and other mementos outside.

"Interest is obviously intense at this stage. We're very aware of the sensitive nature of the sale and the history behind it," Graham Lock, spokesman for listing site Housenetwork.co.uk, said via e-mail. 

The semi-attached, 2,500-square-foot house has three bedrooms, including "an impressive Master Suite with vaulted ceiling," according to the listing. Photos of the house on the listing agent's website show a few hints of rock-star flair in the decorating, like black-and-white checkered floors in the kitchen and master bathroom and a "family room" with bright red walls and ceiling.

“It was not practical to keep it empty while paying for its upkeep. It is a wonderful place and will be a happy family home for someone,” the family spokesperson told The Sun, which reported that Winehouse bought the home with her father, Mitch Winehouse, in 2010 for 1.8 million pounds.

"The property price is not easy to reconcile at this moment," Lock said. "It's very difficult to price in the associated history, but as we've seen in the past, residences of legends have changed hands for well above market value and Amy Winehouse is most definitely in this category." 

An associate loaned the home to George Harrison for a 1967 trip to Los Angeles.

The opening line of one of George Harrison's most memorable songs sets the mood: "There's a fog upon L.A.'' But it's the plaintive refrain of the vaguely melodic chorus of an otherwise odd and discordant song that made "Blue Jay Way" such a haunting twist to the Beatles' "Magical Mystery Tour" album.

This rock classic was penned back in 1967, and Harrison and fellow Liverpudlian John Lennon are long gone from this world, but the legacy of that peculiar song endures in the form of a Mid-Century modern house where Harrison created the eerie little ditty.

That architectural gem that sits high over Sunset Blvd at 1567 Blue Jay Way in Los Angeles. It offers a 170-degree view of the city and can be yours for $4.599 million, according to Curbed. The price tag reflects the stellar remodel of this unique home as much as it honors the part it played in musical history.

On the site beatlesbible.com, Harrison told the story about how he wrote the tune late one night waiting for a record publicist and musician Harry Nillson to show up at the Blue Jay Way home that had been lent to him during a stay in L.A.

"Derek Taylor got held up. He rang to say he'd be late. I told him on the phone that the house was in Blue Jay Way. And he said he could find it OK... he could always ask a cop. So I waited and waited. I felt really knackered with the flight, but I didn't want to go to sleep until he came. There was a fog and it got later and later. To keep myself awake, just as a joke to pass the time while I waited, I wrote a song about waiting for him in Blue Jay Way. There was a little Hammond organ in the corner of this house which I hadn't noticed until then... so I messed around on it and the song came."

The Hollywood Hills real estate market home had been owned in 1967 by a former Army colonel, Ludwig Gerber, who managed singer Peggy Lee. Gerber was said to be forever proud of the way the song had been composed at his prized home. He was forced to sell the place in 1994 for $760,000, having run out of money in his later years.

Since then, the home has been bought and re-sold three more times, and now boasts a stunning remodel that has guaranteed a future as illustrious as the home's past. According to listing details, the Blue Jay Way home contains:

"Massive walls for art, glass sliding doors that expose the house to a courtyard with large outdoor space that includes a wrap-around patio, fire pit, pool and spa. Fantastic open floor plan with high ceilings, amazing light, great energy and the ideal indoor/outdoor living we all enjoy. Perfect for parties and entertaining. Includes gorgeous screening room, touchscreen surround throughout, two-car attached garage. Grand entrance is just the beginning of what this home has to offer in the sough after bird streets. This home in celebrity row is close to all things important. Sunset Strip, Beverly Hills and Century City just minutes away."

Sliding glass walls open up to the patio and pool area.

The home has been significantly updated with new finishes and designer touches.

If walls could talk, the ones in this 50s-era home would probably be slurring from all the highballs.

Frank Sinatra rented it in his Rat Pack heyday and sublet the guest house to Marilyn Monroe. It was the site of her last photo shoot and allegedly where she met the 35^th president for an affair.

If it looks familiar, it may be because you watch TV or movies. It’s been a set in “Dreamgirls,” Usher’s “Burn” video and “Mad Men,” among many others. The latter makes perfect sense since  the whole property is decorated in period motif.

The seller makes the case that you can bring in a couple hundred thousand dollars a year easy just renting it out as a set. That’s not going too far to  offset the $12 million asking price, but you might not need the money.
