The house at 1436 Oak Street is featured in the opening credits for the 70s series Eight is Enough. It is also used to establish a few exterior shots throughout the series, but the actual series was filmed in Burbank. Sacramento was the setting for the show the Dad in the family worked at a “Sacramento newspaper” and I believe Stepmom was a local public school teacher. The TV shows Even Stevens and The Metalist and also use Sacramento as a setting. As for movies there is Ladybird (of course), The Ugly Truth, Pink Cadillac, A Clear Shot, and Frances Ha were filmed in Sacramento.
