Longest running primetime TV series (by state)

South Dakota - “Deadwood” (3 seasons)

North Carolina - “Eastbound & Down” - (2 seasons, and just announced a 3rd… though most of season 2 took place in Mexico)

Presumably because all the other residents of Cabot Cove had been murdered? :smiley:

If Warehouse 13 can hold on for another season, it will at least tie that.

See post 10.

For South CarolinaArmy Wives? Srsly?

I don’t get that Wiki page. It lists 41 shows set in New York State, and 231 shows set in New York City.
mmm

Georgia-“Designing Women” (unsure of run length)

7 seasons, still less than Matlock’s 9 seasons.

And Little House on the Prairie at 9 or 10.

Pennsylvania - “The Office” (7 seasons and counting)

If we want to count soaps, The Young and the Restless has been on for 37 years and counting.

Thanks! I kneaded to know that!

:wink:

Most people didn’t realize Drew Carey was on that long, because a half season into a two year renewal ABC yanked it off the schedule and burned off the remaining eps in the slums of the following two summers.
Anyway, I don’t know how many years, but I think Home Improvement has to be a strong contender for longest series set in MI.

8 seasons for Home Improvement, which I believe puts it in the lead for Michigan. Ahead of **Sister, Sister **(6 seasons) and **Martin **(5 seasons).

A few more guesses, correct me if I’m wrong on them:

Rhode Island - “Family Guy” (9 seasons)
Utah - “Big Love” (Upcoming 5th season will be its last)
Missouri - “Grace Under Fire” (5 seasons)
Wyoming - “The Virginian” (9 seasons)
Delaware - “The Pretender” (4 seasons)

I am fairly sure Daniel Boone is the leader for Kentucky with 6 seasons.

Followed closely by The Dukes of Hazzard at 6 seasons.

Indiana - “One Day at a Time” - 9 season

Missosuri – Petticoat Junction (7 seasons)

sister series Green Acres ran for 6 seasons, but they were concurrent so I don’t think you can total them up for 13 season.

Just thought of another one.

California – Dragnet(15 seasons in various incarnations plus radio and movies)

The original CSI is in its 11th season. Has it got 3 more left in it, I wonder?

I think both Green Acres and Petticoat Junction left it ambiguous as to which state they were set in.
