Th-th-th-th-that's all folks!

The final group photo from the Good Doctor. (I'm in there somewhere) The last day of filming was on April 6th. (The series ending finale has already aired. Wow, 7 years have passed in a flash.
 

Starting to close down San Jose St. Bonaventure hospital.
Patientless.....
The final week, I'm sure it will not my last view of the city while waiting at Olympic Village for the Good Doctor.
I will miss the little marsh close by.
.....and the early morning call of the red-winged blackbird..
Just a few housekeeping details to take care of......
I'm sure this guy will find a new home.
.......and this little one should be of some use on some other show....
Well, something's afoot......
Count on the mighty Teamsters to safely transport the gang to their final destination. Fellow Teamster peep J.P. had the mission to die for.
The final meal from the caterers of the Good Doctor. (Also Teamsters). Such a feast, truly blessed.
Executive producer Liz Friedman gave a final farewell speech to the cast and crew.
Another surreal moment, they showed a highlight video of the 7 seasons, very moving.
Then it was outside to assemble for the final group photo.
The not so random, but I can't remember what this stage set is all about, may not even be for our show, towering pic.
A lot of us managed to squeeze into stage 4 to see the final filming of the series.
I was close to the A camera operator, Mike Wrinch who has been with Freddie on all of the Good Doctor and prior to that, Bates Motel as well.
There it is, the final filming shot for the Good Doctor. (Albeit, not the final scene you saw on the finale.)

2 days later, I was at the Sutton Hotel, where so many of my cast, director and exec pick-ups have been. I had a good view of my cast ride. Stayed here to be ready for Monday morning. We were off to the Good Doctor wrap party on this Sunday night at........
.......... Craft Beer Market in Olympic Village. We took over the entire bar, was so much fun.
.....but alas, the mighty Teamsters had to leave early, we had a rare, rare 4 a.m. crew call on our next assignment, a show called Earth Abides. An early rainy morning campout at Parq Casino downtown. As of today, only 15 more camera days to go on this six episode mini-series on Amazon and MGM+
