Largest City Never To Have Had A TV Show Set In That Town

[anotherguy]

There was also a short run series in the early 80's called Filthy Rich, which was a Dallas Spoof, that was set in Memphis.

Mr. Belvedere was set in Pittsburgh, and there were one or two other shows set in that city, can't think of any others.

I can't think of any shows based in Hartford, CT.  Providence - yes; Boston - heck yes; but Hartford? No.  

"Judging Amy" (CBS, 1999 - 2005) was based in Hartford, CT

Hope and Gloria, Skag, Three Rivers, and Back to You were all set in Pittsburgh (and all quite short-lived)

Offhand I can't think of any shows set in Toledo (though it is the most oft-mentioned city on M*A*S*H)

Setting Judging Amy in Hartford made sense, since series star Amy Brenneman is a graduate of Glastonbury (CT) High School, class of 1982. However, outside of a couple of exteriors, I don't think any of the show was ever filmed in this area (I live in the same county as Hartford and Glastonbury).

CBS' Cold Case is set in Pittsburgh.

CBS' Cold Case is set in Pittsburgh.

Nope.  Philly.

Cold Case is definitely in Philadelphia! They once showed the star and a cast member coming up from the SEPTA subway line under that massive municipal building at Market and Broad Streets.

One other show set in Philly was "Angie" which ran on ABC from 1979 to 1980. Maureen McGovern sang the theme song "Different Worlds" and a young Donna Pescow (still hot from her Saturday Night Fever role) played the title character.

Always wondered what life is like on the other side of the Walt Whitman Bridge over in New Jersey? (Camden,Glouscester City,Collingswood and neighboring communities) Would that inspire a series?

I must have missed that one, because I don't remember it.  Of course, in addition to the afore-mentioned Memphis Beat, the bluff city was also the setting for most of the John Grisham novels.

I can't recall any TV show being set here in Nashville, my current home base, but we, too, are "metro" here, having been so since 1963. 

And I never could tell where the "Haz(z)ard" was in The Dukes of Haz(z)ard.  Was it Georgia or Kentucky?
