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.

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.

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!

"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.

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.

But TB answered it correctly.

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

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.
