As in the case of fiction novels, San Francisco has served as a backdrop to a large number of films, including several deemed classic or influential.[who?] Films set in the city include:
Although the city is a frequent backdrop for many television shows, many 80s sitcoms set in San Francisco such as Full House were actually shot in studios in the Los Angeles area. Since the mid-90s, many productions supposedly set in the City by the Bay are actually filmed in Canada, most notably in Vancouver, British Columbia, a frequent double for the cities of San Francisco and Seattle, Washington on the small screen. Canadian provinces often offer attractive tax incentives and more flexible union regulations for production companies. Monk was shot in Vancouver before moving to Los Angeles, and only a few exterior shots involving San Francisco landmarks are actually filmed in the city. Similarly, recent short-lived series such as Presidio Med, The Evidence or Killer Instinct were actually shot in the Los Angeles or Vancouver areas. The city of San Francisco has tried to counter this trend over the past few years by reducing filming fees and streamlining the permit approval process.
The Milton Berle Show (1948–1955); known as Texaco Star Theater until 1953 and The Buick-Berle Show 1953–1954, moved to California during final 1955–1956 season
Tom's Restaurant, at West 112th Street and Broadway, was used as the establishing shot for "Monk's Cafe" on Seinfeld, a program that satirized life on the Upper West Side of Manhattan.
