Of the television productions filmed on the Universal Studios lot in Universal City, which include ‘Desperate Housewives,’ ‘CSI: Crime Scene Investigation’ and ‘Life,’ the only one that seems to have been affected by the fire is CBS’ ‘Ghost Whisperer.’

According to a spokeswoman for CBS Paramount, the supernatural drama starring Jennifer Love Hewitt is not filming right now.

‘The show is currently on hiatus, and we will evaluate what damage [was done] to some of our exterior sets. However, this will not affect the Season 4 premiere,’ she wrote in an e-mail.

On KABC’s ‘Eyewitness News,’ Ron Meyer, the president and chief operating officer of Universal Studios, said in an interview that of the eight locations ‘Ghost Whisperer’ uses on the lot, the fire had affected two of them. ‘I’m sure they will find a way to adjust for it,’ he said.
