Like me, Something Wilder is Bay State through and through but not from Beantown. It was set in the beautiful Berkshires - Norman Rockwell's Stockbridge. To the North - Those from Vermont have Newhart.

Had to wiki to get that much. Penny Lane 09-02-2007, 12:04 PM The only ones I can think of are 8 Simple Rules and Home Improvement, in Michigan. Ditto! Back in the 70's there was a failed series supposedly set in Flint, Mi. (I live 10 miles west of Flint) It was so lame! The series revolved around a steel plant. Which is ridiculous. No steel plants in Flint! It should have been an auto plant, DUH!:rolleyes: and in an outdoor shot of a kid riding his bicycle around his neighborhood there was a mountain in the distance!:lol: The Flint area is basically flat. The only "mountain" in a 20 mile radius is a landfill.:lol: I can't remember the name of the series but I believe that Elinor Donahue played the mother. Does anybody remember this fiasco?:D catlover79 09-02-2007, 01:51 PM I think it was Mulligan's Stew.

Heidi Dawn 09-06-2007, 01:23 PM Since I'm from Canada, there have been a couple of shows set in my home province of Prince Edward Island. 'Road to Avonlea' (or 'Avonlea' to those who got the airings on Disney Channel) and 'Emily of New Moon'. 'Avonlea' was filmed in Ontario, while 'Emily' was filmed in Prince Edward Island (not far from where I live). 'Emily' starred Susan Clark (best known to you 'Webster' fans as Katherine), John Neville (from 'Grand'), Sheila McCarthy (from 'Little Mosque on the Prairie'), and Linda Thorsen (from 'The Avengers'). factsoflife 09-06-2007, 05:12 PM Isn't it set in Boston? it might be, i've only seen it a few times and i just kind of assumed it was set in NYC...

QAF megamanj2004 09-06-2007, 07:47 PM Another Massachusettes sitcom you can add is "Boy Meets World," too. megamanj2004 09-06-2007, 07:47 PM QAF What's QAF? wkomorow 09-06-2007, 08:59 PM What's QAF? Sorry, Queer as Folk (which was on Showtime) was set in Pittsburgh. wkomorow 09-06-2007, 09:02 PM Another Massachusettes sitcom you can add is "Boy Meets World," too. No, Cory was a Phillies fan - there is no way the show could be in the Bay State. Actually. I think it was set in Philadelphia. Scoobiedoo30 09-07-2007, 01:20 AM K-Vill dawsongirl 09-07-2007, 01:21 AM Double Trouble (I know S2 was set in NY for a fact, b/c the girls lived with the Aunt in NY) Yeah, the first 11 or so eps were in IA. treky 09-07-2007, 01:41 AM BROTHERS (a sitcom from the 80s that was on Showtime) Furienna 09-07-2007, 12:35 PM No, Cory was a Phillies fan - there is no way the show could be in the Bay State. Actually. I think it was set in Philadelphia. You're right! That show is set in Philadelphia (Pennsylvania). megamanj2004 09-07-2007, 12:43 PM Sorry, Queer as Folk (which was on Showtime) was set in Pittsburgh. Oh yeah! I almost forgot about that show! Another Texas-based show, though it's animated that you can also add in is: Beavis and Butt-Head, b/c Highland was set in Texas and Mike Judge's voice-overs for Tom Anderson are quite similar to Hank Hill's voice on King of the Hill. factsoflife 09-07-2007, 02:14 PM Suite Life is set in Boston. They work at the Paul Revere MiniMart. wait, isn't The Suiet Life Of Zack and Cody set in a Manhattan HOTEL? are we talking about two different shows? factsoflife 09-07-2007, 02:15 PM Minnesota: Mary Tyler Moore Pennsylvania: The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, Mr. Belvedere Any others? Actually Fresh Prince was set in California, hence the name "Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air", only the character of Will was fron Pennsylvania and only a few episodes were set in Pennsylvania. The show was set in Bel Air, California. Furienna 09-07-2007, 03:04 PM But especially in the beginning, Will talked so much about Philly, that it was almost like it was partly set there. wkomorow 09-07-2007, 08:32 PM wait, isn't The Suiet Life Of Zack and Cody set in a Manhattan HOTEL? are we talking about two different shows? No sorry, definitely Boston - one episode took them back to Colonial Times and the Boston Tea Party. There was a picture in the lobby of the tea party. There are also shots of the John Hancock Building - not far from the Common. Furienna 09-07-2007, 08:41 PM See?

Murphy Brown- Washington D.C. megamanj2004 09-08-2007, 01:20 PM Murphy Brown- Washington D.C. Get Smart was also set in D.C., b/c the opening credits from the final season definitely showed shots of various D.C. landmarks. "That's My Mama!" was also a D.C. based show, b/c Clifton Davis always talked about his father's barber shop was in D.C. in the opening credits of S1. Scarecrow and Mrs. King was also another D.C. show. The F.B.I. (1965-74 ABC Quinn Martin drama) was also D.C. megamanj2004 09-08-2007, 01:28 PM 227 was also another show that was based out of D.C. as well.
