Minnesota - The Mary Tyler Moore Show

I also think Happy Days should top the Wisconsin list, at least before Laverne and Shirley

Shemp 01-08-07 02:36 PM

You can add 'West Wing' to DC as well.

WA- There was a short lived Medical comedy based out of Seattle on FOX (I wanna say it was Medicine Ball or something). This show came out 6-8 years ago..lasted like 7 episodes.

Or maybe I am just crazy

I already posted three, so this doesn't count:
Spoiler:
<i>The Brotherhood of Poland, New Hampshire</i> -- It's just too perfect not to mention.

You can add One tree Hill and dawson's creek to north carolina.

Tracer Bullet 01-08-07 02:52 PM

I can tell you with absolute certainty that there has never been a show set in Delaware. The closest it's ever come was The Pretender.

Wasn't Roseanne set in Indiana

The first season of Saved by the Bell (aka, "Good Morning, Miss Bliss") was set in Indiana.

There was also a Sat. morning kids show about basketball--and co-starring Reggie Theuss and Dick Butkus--that took place in Ind.

There was a sitcom set in Des Moines, Ia, but I can't think of the name.

I was going to say threadkiller until I looked at your link. Wiki only has 31 states listed compared to DVDtalk's 41 (so far, 42 w/DC). DVDtalk rules!

Abelkems 01-08-07 04:02 PM

Yeah it seems to be missing a lot. Why is Iowa listed under T?

"T" for "Television Shows Set in Iowa".

Either that or "Time to Leave".

If IMDB is right and there will be a tv version of The Butterfly Effect some time in 2007, that would likely be set in West Virginia. Otherwise, I'm drawing a blank on it.

Big Dave 01-08-07 05:25 PM

I believe Family Matters took place in Illinois and Early Edition as well (both in Chicago).

The Pretender WAS set in Delaware. Sort of. :)

Not a TV show, but Fight Club was set in Delaware.

Delaware was also mentioned in Who's the Boss, X-Files ("Mind's Eye"), etc.

Also Metropolis is in Delaware:

I think in Worlds Collide (comic), Metropolis is shown to be halfway between New York and DC, south of Philadelphia. :shrug:

But TB answered it correctly.

Drexl 01-08-07 05:48 PM

I found one in Tennessee. "Nashville 99" was a cop show that had a few episodes in 1977.

squidget 01-08-07 06:08 PM

How old can the show be?
found a show called My Friend Flicka set in Montana that ran from 1956 - 1958

Dawson's Creek was absolutely not NC. It took place in Capeside, MA. A Faux-town on Cape Cod in MA. It was filmed in NC, and did not take place there.

Mentioned or was there? X-files and Bones have made the trip up from D.C. although not shot on location.

And, of course, the Simpson's famous "I want to visit a screen door factory" was in regards to Delaware.

Dr. Henry Jones, Jr. 01-08-07 07:18 PM

if you want to ignore the rule about crappy reality TV, for Nebraska you could use Tommy Lee Goes To College
