**Shows with Fictional Locations in the Title**

1. Schitt’s Creek
2. Twin Peaks
3. Evening Shade
4. Sesame Street
5. Star Trek: Deep Space Nine
6. Petticoat Junction

The title was also somewhat of a misnomer … the stop wasn’t even a junction, where two railroads (or two branches of the same railroad) meet – it was a water stop that just happened to be convenient to the hotel.

Isn’t “guiding” in _Guiding Light_ a participle, not a gerund? or is it a double-entendre, like Judging Amy, where “judging” is a participle in one sense, but a gerund in the other.

A gerund is the noun version of a verb ending in -ing. Guide (noun or verb), guiding (gerund). Looks good to me. Your turn RivkahChiya.
