The feed back from the public regarding the different studio tours that one can take around Hollywood, had been overwhelming. The Sony studio and Universal tours are far superior than the Warner Bros. tours.

Warner Bros tours are not only boring but the tour guides are often rude, un-knowledgeable snot nose kids, who do not have a working knowledge of the studio.

From the time one sits foot into the V.I.P. (yeah right)-it should stand for very ignorant people-you get a feeling that they are trying to sell you some over priced tourist trapped junk, and after the tour-there is a feeling of "I was suckered" out of my money.

Sony and Universal-are more interesting in giving a consumer their money's worth=and the tours are much more consumer oriented and people friendly.

Just as a consumer from Ohio who took 3 studio tours in los anegels back in April of 2007. I can say that my Warner Bros tour guide, was rude, and the studios is very very boring. The entire dept. was rude and cared more about taking your money than giving a good tour. The Sony and Universal tours were much, much better.

I also found Warner bros studios to have the most boring and worse tours. I am a huge, huge fan of the Gilmore Girls and Friends but the tour guides were not only arrogant but always seem to steer us into the disrection of spending money on photos or over priced mugs!
Our guide could not give us any information on older televison shows like Family Matters and left us alone in the museum. It was a waste of a studio thathas such great history.

I had a chance to visit the Warner Bros Studios this summer as I was excited to see stuff my favorite shows and learn about some new ones. There was a lot of filming going on so I was not able to take a lot of pictures.

Never once did race come into play as the tour was about movies and not ethnicities, gender, age, religion, etc. I was happy to find that the productions mentioned spanned all backgrounds from River City Iowa (music man) down to some of my favorite shows like Jamie Fox Show, Hanging with Mr. Cooper, and Roots.

Also, my tour guide was very informative and even was able to get us free tickets to see one of there shows being taped. It was a new show called the Big Bang Theory. Its not really my type of show, but it was still fun to watch it being filmed.

Theodore Kravitz, you are the most belligerent and mendacious person I have ever worked with. I hope the people who have stumbled across this website have enough sense to recognize the ignorance that you obviously possess. I worked with the author of this website in May when he was training to be a tour guide. Their was 5 to 6 weeks of training for his hire-in group and Theodore Kravitz did not even make it past 2 and a half weeks. Their were several complaints made against him for making racists comments and for often using the "N" word in his conversations. Thus resulting in his removal from the studio. 98% of what Theodore Kravitz has written about, regard the Warner Bros. studio is undoubtedly slander.
Case in point:
"The girl an Asian and must have been a fall out from the Mel Gibson mess-being that she eyed my last name very carefully before proceeding to challenge my resume in a room full of people. "

-What does "An Asian" reviewing your resume have to do with Mel Gibson? And why is her ethnicity relevant?

"who knows but when I saw the unqualified, white work force-I was floored but just happy to back on the lot."

-There is one Hispanic gentle man, one Asian woman, and one Caucasian woman that run the recruitment office. What are you talking about? More importantly, why do you keep mentioning everyone's ethnicity?

"So, with the exception of maybe the trainers and one other person in my training class- my skills were top of the line plus the personal connections that I had to the studio."

-Your training group was one of the best groups I have every seen with the exception of you and a girl who was almost as deceitful as you. And if you had "personal connections" in the studio, why were you training to be a $10 an hour tour guide?

" These tour guides were pulling their carts directly in front of film cameras, blocking shots and being out right rude to the public. Like most whites in Hollywood-they got away with murder!"

- I am pretty sure John Gilbert would do away with the tour department if carts were being parked in front of cameras prohibiting any filming to be done. And what are "most whites in Hollywood" like? Please, do tell.

" I stuck it out, through bad management."

-All tour guides get unlimited free movie tickets, free movie rentals, and an occasional free meal. I think the management is fantastic.

"I had to purchase a subscription to the Hollywood Reporter, just to know what was and wasn't taping on the lot."

- Every tour guide is given a 2 inch thick folder of everything that has ever filmed on the lot. But I am pretty sure that they conveniently forgot to give that to you considering that you are black and all. Oh, wait. No. It's because you are Jewish.

"The VIP tour dept. at Warner Bros were not friendly to people of color-the operational managers constantly stated that whites were the priority because this is who takes the tours."

-Half of the tour guides that were asked to work full time after the summer season are black. But of course you would not know this, since you worked there for all of two weeks.

" There's an entire generation of whites who remember Urkel and asked about the show."

-Nobody asks about Steve Urkel. The majority of the guest that take the tour ask about Gilmore Girls, Friends, and ER.

"The immediate supervisor, in the VIP tour dept, after returning from her vacation and about ten years younger than myself-informed the entire training class that no one was entitled to lunch breaks and that the Jewish executives -particularly Cass Warner, the grand-daughter of the Warner founding father was biased and her book "Hollywood be thy name" was also biased."

-Any working US citizen knows that by law any paid employee must be given at least a 45 minute lunch. So why in the world would a manger say such a thing like that. I am assuming you pulled that out of your box of lies, too. And if you would have payed attention in your training you would know that Cass Warner is not an executive of the studio. No one in the Warner family is.

"The Operational Manager in the VIP tour dept along with a Sr. Tour guide (guides who give five hour tours)-taught a class on Jew-hating."

- I really hope no one believes this nonsense.

"a Sr. Tour guide trainer informed 50% of the class (the ones who he was training) that the Warner-Jewish family were bad people and scum."

-This must have been when the other half of the class were coming of with ways to sabotage you and have you sent to labor relations and fired.

"As a black kid who was raised by Brooklyn Rabbis, this created a slight argument-when i informed Mr.Aryan Nazi that Jewish males were black-balled from bank loans which is why they open thrift stores and sold used junk. This is the same concept on why Hollywood was formed."

-Huh?

"In Conclusion, I had the most inefficient, anti-ethnic and racist departments-recruitment center and VIP tour dept. throwing accusations at me and it wouldn't be the first or last....."

-I really wish you would stop with the "It's because I am black" excuse. You were let go because you are a liar. I hope the right people find this website and sue you for slander. You only spent two weeks there and now you're claiming that the entire studio hates Jewish people, doesn't care about black people (particularly you), and that we have Jewish bashing meetings. Get a life. How many hours do you spend fabricating this junk. And for what, because you were possibly the worst tour guide.....ever. Seriously, let be real. You are the racist.
