It may have never been stated outright, but Granny and the Clampetts visited Silver Dollar City in at least one episode of Beverly Hillbillies which is set in the same Paul Henning-verse. And I seem to recall Granny mentioning Lake Taneycomo in another episode.
It missed" Home Improvement" for Michigan.
8 years and reruns forever.
Wikipedia lists Home Improvement under the subcategory Television shows set in Detroit, Michigan.
Arkansas - “Evening Shade” (4 seasons)
Also, anything set in Oklahoma run longer than **Saving Grace’s **three seasons?
Big city locations are listed as a sub-catagory
They missed “Mr T and Tina” for Chicago.
Soap operas take some beating:
Illinois - As the World Turns. 54 years.
New York - General Hospital. 47 years.
Pennsylvania - One Life to Live. 42 years.
Wisconsin - the Young and the Restless. 37 years.
The thread title calls for primetime series. Those soap operas were daytime shows.
OK - that explains why they weren’t suggested before.
I didn’t realise there was a real difference - I don’t see them at their original times (and I don’t watch soaps anyway, I just know that they last a long time). What time does primetime start, out of curiosity? Funnily enough, the really cheesy detective shows Murder She Wrote and Diagnosis Murder have always been shown in the daytime over here (UK).
On the East and West coasts of the US, primetime is 8-11pm. (It’s a little different in the Central and Mountain time zones, simply because the networks don’t want another feed for them.) Basically, it amounts to the evening hours. According to Wikipedia, it’s the equivalent of “peak time” in the UK.
In a similar vein, “In the Heat of the Night” was set in Mississippi for 7+ seasons, despite Sparta, MS being the murder capital, per captia, of the US for each of those seasons.
I’m going to answer my own question. I watched it last night for the first time since William Peterson left. Yeesh. I think it’s time to put this one on a slab.
Agreed, and if I had to take a WAG as to where they were located, I would guess Illinois instead of Missouri.
I do believe Ferd Burfel is correct though, that the Clampetts were from down in the Ozarks - either southern Missouri or northern Arkansas, but again I think it was ambiguous.
