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.

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.
