Name a sitcom NOT set in America - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

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.

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

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

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?

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