Your favorite fictional town - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

principehomura · 04-01-2017, 01:44 PM

Hi there!
I'm wondering about fictional towns in tv series (sitcoms but also dramas, ecc). I think that the setting has a great importance in a tv show, because is the 'summa' of the characters and the themes.

Which one are your favorites? Where you'd dreamed to live, stay, or took a spot in your heart?
Also, which one best define the mood and theme of the show itself?

Hooterville, NoKnownState, but it has an elevation at the train station. /Petticoat Junction/ was my first exposure, and the general friendliness of the people, with some being more goofey than others, I think I can bear. The small town over big cities will always have a home for me. When CBS killed off every series that had a tree in it (thank you, Pat Butram), that proved to me that suits are not wise.

Cicely, Alaska (Northern Exposure). Mood and theme; a fantastic place to live..but ONLY when I dream (too used to that warm California sun).

Nice replies!
To live I'd choose Stars Hollow (Gilmore Girls)! Also Capeside (Dawson's Creek) was very nice!

The mood of the series were also perfectly captured in Twin Peaks, Lanford (Roseanne) and Dillon (Friday Night Lights), but I wouldn't live there (except Twin Peaks without the "paranormal activities"

)
