I cannot believe this one slipped my mind. I write novels about the show on The Barney Miller board.

Spin City was based in New York for it's first few seasons until it moved to California after Michael J Fox left the show.

Yes, the Korean War took place on the upper west side...

M*A*S*H was filmed in Northern California, and on a soundstage in Los Angeles.

Actually, and older sitcom which was set in New York, "Make Room For Daddy" starring Danny Thomas, and let's not forget another classic, "Bosom Buddys."
