shots from Heroes, Dyfying Gravity, CSI, Ugly Betty and others.
Goes to show you what can be done. A very interesting look into how high quality locations things are created for TV budgets.

Yeah, saw this on a different website. It's pretty amazing. I expect the odd landscape (the North Pole, or another planet) to be green screen. But...UGLY BETTY? New York? Amazing.

 

[Admiral Buzzkill]

Wow.

 

[Mr. Adventure]

From a few behind-the-scenes stuff I've seen (s.a. Eternal Sunshine) I always suspected there was more of this going on than some might think. That's a very cool little demonstration of "everyday" CG.

 

[Harvey]

That's pretty cool. After seeing how much green screen work ended up in Casino Royale, it was obvious to me that features have been using these effects heavily and effectively, but I didn't realize they were so pervasive in television.
