I cannot believe this one slipped my mind. I write novels about the show on The Barney Miller board. :crazy:

Spin City was based in New York for it's first few seasons until it moved to California after Michael J Fox left the show.

Yes, the Korean War took place on the upper west side...

M*A*S*H was filmed in Northern California, and on a soundstage in Los Angeles.

Before Mark Feuerstein starred in the crappy sitcom "Good Morning Miami," he starred in two other crappy sitcoms, both based in New York -

and "Conrad Bloom," which featured a pre Gilmore Girl Lauren Graham...

Some dramas include the short-lived "The Beat" (from Barry Levinson and Tom Fontana) and all those Law & Orders. I think they're up to like 15, 16 spinoffs now?
