Thats why Chicago is so popular. They hope by setting a show there, everyone in Chicago will want to watch. I cant remember all the exact details, but there was an article about it when the drew carey show came out, about how cities were chosen like that. set in chicago Married with Children 21 jump street -- there is debate whether this is set in Chicago or detroit. i dont believe it was ever mentioned, but Toms friends all went to the University of Michigan, so, I choose Detroit. this isnt a sitcom, but can anyone remember if hill street blues was set in Chicago. I always thought it was and my friend disagrees. James 10-21-2003, 01:19 AM Originally posted by DetectiveGriffin this isnt a sitcom, but can anyone remember if hill street blues was set in Chicago.

Hill Street Blues (whose theme song I LOVE!!! :D ) was set in New York City, yet it was filmed in the Windy City. boechsner 10-21-2003, 01:33 AM The Hogan Family. Actually takes place in a suburb of Chicago, Oak Park.

Actually, they never were very specific about what city the show was set in. If they filmed the extertiors in Chicago, why didn't they just set it in Chigaco?

If they filmed the exteriors in Chicago, why didn't they just set it in Chigaco? Of course I could be wrong, It's been a while since I've seen the show, but I don't think they ever mentioned the city they worked in by name. I guess they wanted people to think this show could have taken place in any Eastern City. Janice 10-21-2003, 02:00 PM I'm not positive, but I think Still Standing is set in Chicago. The family are big Cub fans. They wear the hats and shirts with the Cub's logo. Also, the short-lived HBO show, The Mind of The Married Man was set in Chicago. *PinkLady* 10-21-2003, 03:05 PM According to Jim? Jim is a fan of the Chicago Bears, so I assume that's where the show is set. Mrs. Ducky 10-21-2003, 03:07 PM According to Jim. musicradio77 10-21-2003, 08:29 PM "Two of a Kind" was set in Chicago. It was a short-lived sitcom. TheHappyBurgerMeister 11-06-2003, 10:20 PM Punky Brewster, because at the beginning of the show they always showed Punky and Henry at Wrigley Field. |
