Hollywood attractions
If you are lucky, you could see tapings of several TV shows, in fact most of America's TV shows are taped in the Hollywood area. However, it must be either a game show or a comedy show. If you want to see dramas and reality TV programming (unless it is about talent like American Idol), then you are out of luck.
