Massachusetts (Islands): George and Leo Wings
My mistake, you’re right. I knew they were in the New York City suburbs, and I’ve taken that rail line into the city once or twice, but I forgot that it was New York side of the border.
Why is it I only find out people actually read my posts when they’re correcting me? [sub]cough Saltire cough[/sub]
This might help a little. It’s a site that has all the fictional addresses that they could track down for television shows.
Hmm, even better: a state-by-state listings of television show locations. Dunno how complete it is, I suspect not very.

There are already multiple items for Pennsylvania, but I’d like to add Grand to that list.
There was a shortlived one on WB set in Arizona called “Greetings from Tuscon”
The first season of “Double Trouble” was also set in Iowa, specifically Des Moines. I don’t remember “Nancy”, which saddens me that a TV show like that could have avoided my attention.

Hooterville was in Illinois. Chicago was mentioned alot as being the nearest big city on Green Acres and Petticoat Junction. Springfield was also mentioned as the name of the state capital.
The Simpsons, arguably.
Let’s “upgrade” Kansas with F-Troop.

I believe that Gilligan’s Island was located in the tail end of the Hawaiian archipelago.
