This is helpful, thanks. I managed to find a decent hotel within walking distance to Hollywood and Highland, so I expect to take advantage of the subway at some point.
With my flight schedule, I'll pretty much head to Television City straight from LAX, grabbing lunch along the way or at Farmer's Market, depending on traffic.

There are park/ride lots at Universal City Station (one stop away) and North Hollywood Station (two stops away). The Red Line runs every ten minutes during rush hour, which would give you plenty of trip choices to make it to the theatre well before 5:00pm. Fare is $1.50 each way; you need to buy your ticket from the vending machine before crossing the turnstiles. From the two aforementioned stations, you need to take the train heading for "Union Station" to get to Hollywood. Red Line timetable: http://www.metro.net/riding_metro/bus_overview/images/802.pdf (I know the schedule is dated December 2010 ... we don't change the subway schedule very often) If you also want to avoid traffic to/from Television City (and parking) for the SCG taping, Metro Line 780 is a fast connection between Hollywood/Highland Station and Fairfax/Melrose: http://www.metro.net/riding_metro/bus_overview/images/780.pdf Fare is $1.50 per trip, exact change required. 780 is a Rapid line which means it only stops at major cross-streets instead of every couple of blocks ... Fairfax/Melrose is only four stops away via that line. (Bus destination sign is to "Washington/Fairfax Transit Hub"; stop is literally in front of the subway station entrance on Hollywood.)
