Settings of Shows

[benjamoon]

What shows (that lasted more than a year) were set in different states? As you add titles, I will update the master list in this post - I've included many already.

**NOTE: Becuase the 1st season was situated at Camp Pendleton, therefore it was situated in California. While the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th seasons were situated at Camp Hollister, which was based on Marine Corps Base Quantico, which in turn was based out of Virginia. Therefore the show was based in both California and Virginia.**
