View Full Version : Five largest cities to Never have a show take place there
DTF955 09-12-2007, 04:49 PM Most large cities/metropolitan areas ave had shows take place there. NYC, L.A., and Chicago have each had numerous ones, especially New York and L.A.. Boston (any besdies Cheers?) is one of those big cities that aren't huge metropolises that have had one, at least, if not any more; slightly smaller are Indianapolis, Minneapolis, Cincinnati, etc.
I'm wondering, what are the biggest locales *not* to have a show take place there. it would be interesting what the biggest town is not to, but also, how small you have to go; let's not go below 250,000, though, to keep this sane :-)
One of the biggest cities that I'm nto aware of any show taking place in is San Diego. Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't most talk about L.A., or a suburb, or maybe Malibu...but while the Bay Area gets quite a few, nobody seems to mention that city, despite its being in California.
It wasn't a sitcom, but Dallas, of course, had Dallas - but have any other shows been set in Houston or Dallas? Philadelphia?

There was this short-lived sitcom called "Thea" took place in Houston. The sitcom "Amen" took place in Philly.
I don't believe that there have been many popular sitcoms set in New Orleans.

It's not a sitcom but Simon & Simon was set in San Diego. Walker Texas Ranger was also set in Dallas.

bingbangbaby 09-14-2007, 05:09 PM Nothing that I know of has ever taken place in St. Louis.
It seems like not much has been set in cities in Florida either, besides the Golden Girls and a few other shows in Miami.
Some other cities I question:
Baltimore
Denver
Albuquerque
or
anywhere in Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, North or South Dakota, Arkansas or Mississippi

I shoulda known better than to mess with the sitcom experts around here when I've been working right through prime time for the last 17 years...:lol: You guys are good! All that is news to me... thanks for setting me straight :D
James 09-15-2007, 01:05 AM Denver - Mork and Mindy.
I thought Mork and Mindy took place in Boulder, about thirty miles northwest of the Mile High City.

My bad - you are absolutely correct. M&M was in Boulder.
