On location with 'Simon & Simon' in 1986 at Santa Fe Depot and Balboa Park in San Diego 

Though set in San Diego, the CBS detective series “Simon & Simon” didn’t always film here. But when they did make the trip south of Hollywood in 1986 to film scenes for two episodes, News 8 was there to scope out the action, and lead actors Gerald McRaney and Jameson Parker, at the Santa Fe Depot downtown. In part one of two, reporter Lorraine Kimmel spoke to locals - one who studied acting and another who was a self-described “San Diego housewife” - who got to be extras on the shoot about the excitement and the funny outfits. In the second piece, during filming at Balboa Park, Lorraine got to ask one of the show’s stars Gerald McRaney himself what question he liked to be asked.
