Movies/TV shows/series where UC Berkeley was mentioned?

<p>Rather vague, but in The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, episode "Banks Shot," Aunt Viv says that she has to go give a lecture in Berkeley.</p>

<p>Also, in Home Improvement episode "Taylor Got Game," there is a pennant of UC Berkeley on "Tool Time" (they did the "Man's Dorm Room"). I just saw the episode an hour ago, and I'm amazed that Brad wants to go to UCLA with an SAT score of ~1070, old scale (he gets excited when he gets his SAT scores of something like 540 Math and 530 Verbal).</p>

<p>grey's anatomy... dr christina yang either did bs, md or phd work at cal (i can't remember)</p>

<p>not a tv/movie, but in "hello brooklyn" jay z makes a berkeley reference</p>

<p>In Good Will Hunting, Robin Williams make a reference to the Unabomber and his time at Berkeley.
In the Movie "Orange County", the kids guidance counselor tells him he'll easily get into Berkeley, but he wants Stanford.</p>

<p>Field of Dreams: Main character (Kevin Costner) had gone to Berkeley and wears a B. t-shirt around.</p>

<p>As an added note, his severely retarded guidance counselor told him he was in at Stanford and that he didn't need a safety, and she also sent the wrong transcript, causing his rejection.</p>

<p>(I think the "you'll easily get into Berkeley" was a comedic line.)</p>

<p>How odd, I was just watching that.</p>

<p>Also, in Medicine Man, the doctor who won some prize twice (only person to do so) and who was helping Sean Connery in the jungle graduated from Berkeley.</p>

<p>The Wikipedia article on UC Berkeley has a short list of references in the media, I think.</p>

<p>In the movie Van Wilder, during some scene in court, you can see the Campanile outside the window. They never make mention of Berkeley, though.</p>

<p>Didn't Joanie Caucus get her law degree from Boalt?</p>

<p>Also, didn't Meadow in "The Sopranos" get admitted to Berkeley but go to Columbia instead?</p>

<p>^ Why did she choose Columbia over Cal? In which program did she get onto?</p>

<p>I'll have to defer to a "Sopranos" expert, but I think her parents wanted her to stay close to home. I can't tell you which season, but it was pretty early.</p>

<p>In Iron man 1 or 2, this hot blond reporter comes up to Iron man,RDJ and asks about blah blah some environmental or poverty issue…kinda don’t remember exactly tho. and RDJ asks ‘Berkeley?’ She answers, ‘Brown’. They end up having sex that night.</p>

<p>good bump</p>

<p>24: Jack Bauer went to Berkeley</p>

<p>Lie to Me! Lightman’s daughter always talks about wanting to go there.</p>

<p>OT: has anyone seen that rap video where there’s a rapper wearing a berkeley shirt and a huge CAL gold chain? lol</p>

<p>zac efron decides he’s going to berkeley at the end of high school musical 3 :slight_smile: lol</p>

<p>also the main guy on the new Raising Hope episode on right now is wearing a cal shirt</p>

<p>Star Trek IV made reference when Spock was caught in the whale tank and Kirk had to explain:</p>

<p>“Oh, him? He’s harmless. Part of the free speech movement at Berkeley in the sixties. I think he did a little too much LDS.”</p>

<p>Sliders!!!</p>

<p>Quinn Mallory and the professor went to berkeley and the 1st two seasons were filmed in alternate versions of san francisco.</p>
