The 50 State TVtalk Challenge
Partially in response to Mopower's wondering why most shows take place in New York, and my wanting to create this thread for some time now, I'm curious if every state has been represented in a television show.
A few ground rules, 1. it would be easy for one or two people to post a couple dozen responses filling half the list fairly easily, so instead try and only post a few. 2. Popular states will elicit a ton of responses, i.e. New York. So pick a less obvious show than, say CSI: New York. Something like Wonderfalls, which takes place in Niagra Falls, which I will make my first entry. 3. It has to be a scripted show. No reality nonsense or game shows. The real challenge is getting one show for every state. That's it. So post a show and what state it took place. 01. Alabama - Any Day Now 02. Alaska - Northern Exposure, Men in Trees 03. Arizona - Alice, The New Dick Van Dyke show 04. Arkansas - Evening Shade 05. California - 24, Full House, Desperate Housewives, Entourage, Studio 60 06.
