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

DVD Talk Godfather
So this turned out pretty cool. Also shows that DVDtalkers wipe the floor with Wikipedia. So after a mere day, we are left with Delaware, Idaho & West Virginia*.
Where did NowhereMan take place? I know he was on the run but wasn't the bulk of the show set somewhere? I'm thinking it is one of the smaller states.
*unless that Butterfly Effect show comes through.

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

Well, in the spirit of home state pride I think we should allow The Pretender to count for Delaware. I think it's literally the only state that's never had a show primarily set there.
