What's the Most Popular Show Set in Your Home State?

[DJ_KiDDvIcIOUs]

No matter what state in the U.S. you live in, a popular TV show has taken place there. But what's the absolute most popular show of all time to be set in your state? Business Insider has you covered.

The Business Insider crew determined the most popular shows set in each state, by looking at factors like longevity, audience/critical acclaim, awards, and lasting impact on American culture. You can see the complete map showing the results of their research above.

In terms of genre shows, True Blood's repping Louisiana, Georgia's got The Walking Dead, and Kansas, of course, has Smallville. Arizona's Medium qualifies, too. It's really nice to see Eureka on this map for Oregon. But the most obscure one here has to be The Pretender for Delaware. Does no one ever set shows in Delaware?

What sci-fi/fantasy show do you think best represents your home state/city/country/county?

Of all the kick butt shows set in Florida I'm stuck with the freaking Golden Girls. Really?

Homeland.

 

[DJ_KiDDvIcIOUs]

I'm jealous of all those who reside in New Mexico. They get the best show ever made

I'm in the UK so this isn't from the map, but it'd be 'Skins' for me

I would have expected "Roseann" but I'm happy with "Married with Children."

Game of Thrones.

 

[Teelie]

Some of those states really need some new material.

 

[Octoberist]

Haha. Florida got stuck with the Golden Girls!

 

[DDS]

Strangely Texas doesn't surprise me

The Brady Bunch for CA? Really? Wasn't the The Fall Guy set in LA?

I've never even heard of this Fall Guy. The Brady Bunch, as corny as it was, is embedded in the American pop-culture psyche. It was incredibly popular in its time and still is in many respects. I hear a Brady Bunch reference at least once a week.

You wanna talk about states that got screwed, look at NH. Has anyone even heard of The Brotherhood of Poland, New Hampshire? I googled it and it was a show that ran for literally only 3 weeks in 2003.

Hmmm...I thought The Fall Guy was pretty popular, but I guess not. The Brady Bunch though? I guess.

The Brother Hood of Poland for NH...hahaah. I didn't know there were a lot of Polish people there.

 

[Sawyer]

The Brady Bunch being the answer for CA seems debatable...

And lol poor New Hampshire...

 

[Mrs. Sawyer]

Would you have preferred Full House?

 

[Sawyer]

Would you have preferred Full House?

There are just so many shows set in CA that I find it hard to believe The Brady Bunch would be it.

Parks and Recs. I'll take it.
