TV by the Bay: You watched the shows – now get out and go Chuck Barney, The Mercury News, (TNS) SAN JOSE, Calif. — In the early days of the pandemic, most of us probably couldn’t have predicted what a reliable quarantine companion TV would become. But as the lockdowns wore on, there we were: Safely welded to the couch, binging and streaming to our hearts’ content as TV took us to places where we could find reprieve – including some places in the Bay Area. Now that things are reopening, it’s a good time to get off the couch, get outside and rediscover some of the fun activities where shows like “Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist,” “Silicon Valley,” “Big Little Lies” and others were filmed.
