At the risk of being called a thread killer, here's a better list than the wiki: http://www.tvacres.com/geographic_settings_usa.htm (Though now, people can kick themselves for missing ones they think they should've recalled and argue over the validity of the rest.)
Delaware The Pretender/NBC/1996-2000 Blue Cove (Headquarters of The Centre) Idaho The Manhunter/CBS/1974-75 Cleary Young Maverick/CBS/1979-80 Frontier Territory West Virginia Hawkins/CBS/1973-74 Beauville The Real McCoys/ABC/CBS/1957-63 The McCoy Family hails from West Virginia I'm not sure The Real McCoys should count on their list - the theme song says they moved to California ("From West Vir-gi-nee they came to stay in sunny Cal-i-for-ni-ay ") and I never saw it so I don't know if any of the show was actually set in WV. |
American Dreams - Pennsylvania

A Minute with Stan Hooper took place in the (fictional) town of Waterford Falls, Wisconsin. The Young And The Restless is set in Genoa, Wisconsin. The George Wendt Show took place in Madison, Wisconsin. Life with Louie was set in (fictional) Cedar Gnoll, Wisconsin. |

My Name is Earl isn't necessarily set in MD. They claim to purposely leave the state vague, often alluding to the setting being in the South.

Wagon Train -- uhhh, oh nevermind, . . . they just kept on wagon-training. :p
