There's an episode of the old "I SPY" series with Robert Culp and Bill Cosby (now out on DVD) which was filmed at POP... it's listed in the credits. A very young Ron Howard stars in the episode entitled "Little Boy Lost." My part-time job had it on a loop on a monitor for awhile, and in the background of a shot or two you could make out a tiki.

A bit more info on the episode here:

They have a lot of info on other shows filmed in POP and other locations around Venice. Very cool!

cheers,
