What are some of the most used citys and states used to base sitcoms in?

Illinois (Roseanne, MWC, TBNS, and more)
New York City (Tuns of them from All In The Family to Everybody Loves Raymond)

Is it me or does it seem as if every other sitcom always takes place in New York City?

yeah it seems that way, almost all of NBC's 90's sitcoms were in NYC.


Here is a list of all i can think of:
Seinfeld
Friends
Mad About You
NewsRadio (?)
Just Shoot Me (?)
The Cosby Show
Everybody Loves Raymond
Night Court
All In The Family
The Jeffersons
... And many more (Im drawing ablank right now)

California
That's So Raven (San Francisco)
Charmed (San Francisco)
Ellen (Los Angeles)

I'm sure there is more in CA but I can't think of them right now LOL

Seems like most of them are on one coast or the other. Seems weird to have one in the middle of the country unless it's in Chicago.

Shows like The Mary Tyler Moore Show in Minneapolis seem like rarities.

Both Happy Days and Laverne & Shirley were in Milwaukee. And Mork & Mindy was somewhere in Colorado, I believe.

Boulder!

Philadelphia comes to mind, Boy Meets World was based in Philadelphia and Will Smith on the Fresh Prince was from Philly :)

I would say California and New York.
