I'm watching Café Americain right now and started thinking about sitcoms not set in the USA. Successful or short lived, famous or obscure, doesn't matter.

I'm thinking mainly American made and produced shows, but any sitcoms are welcome as answers.

I'll start with those two ME-TV staples, MASH and Hogan's Heroes.

I'm not sure I see the point of this thread. Sorry if that sounds blunt. https://www.sitcomsonline.com/britcoms.html

Opus means shows that are made in America , American sitcoms that are supposed to take place somewhere other than the USA ! ;)

Not a whole series, but on One day at a time, the "Last time I saw Paris" ep. !

I just thought of two! McHales navy and Gilligan's Island!;)

Corner Gas

King Of Kensington

Trailer Park Boys

Being Erica

:thumbsup:

I'll go tweak my question a little

MASH

The Flying Nun - Took place in Puerto Rico
Hogan's Heroes - Took place in Germany
The Love Boat - Took place in the ocean (if that counts)
Dinosaurs - Set in Pangaea (long before the USA)
Welcome to Sweden

McHALES NAVY

I just thought of two! McHales navy and Gilligan's Island!;)

I was gonna say Gilligan as well. I guess since it was an uncharted island it was kind of its own independent little country! :wave:

To Rome With Love
It’s About Time (prior to them returning to the present day)
Operation Petticoat

Dinosaurs - Set in Pangaea (long before the USA)


The Flintstones fit this concept too

Good call on The Flintstones. Did The Jetsons ever say anything about being set in the US? Or is it possible it was set in some post-apocalyptic future after the fall of the US?

The Flying Nun - Took place in Puerto Rico

That's still America, though. Not the continental U.S., but it is America.

Dad's Army

:confused::confused:those aren't set in other countries!

Dad's Army

never heard of that one.

Quark

I don't think any of these were mentioned:

The Gale Storm Show: set aboard a ship that cruises the world.

Outsourced: A call center for American novelties products located in

Here's a bonus which kind of fits, Fair Exchange (Judy Carne's first show), two best friends, one British the other American give their daughter's the opportunity to become exchange students, the American moving into the British friend household and the British girl into the American household. It was an hour long comedy series, I believe the original series format split the hour into two pieces, one half to the British family and the other to the Americans. The series struggled and was eventually reduced to a half hour before cancellation

I think maybe Tubehead read it wrong and thought the thread meant shows set in rural America or in a country setting? ;)

Not sitcoms, but still worth mentioning:
Doctor Who - set in many past/future locations, many of which resemble British quarries.
Hercules: The Legendary Journeys - set in ancient Greece

What about the Love Boat?

Sure they picked up passengers in America but didn't they sail all over the world? Or at least internationally?
