> [@Robot\_Arm](#): > > _Law & Order_ had some of the characters travelling out of New York City on several occasions. I know the detectives went to L.A. once in pursuit of a suspect. McCoy and an ADA questioned someone in Cambridge, MA, once, and I recall references to him arguing cases in Albany and maybe even the Supreme Court. How far do they have to go to count as a trip; does arresting someone in New Jersey count, or talking to an inmate at Sing Sing? I’m not imposing any rules, but I was thinking more about times when the characters slept away from home for at least one night as opposed to day trips. ---

> [@TheInimitableMaven](#): > > _The Andy Griffith Show_ saw Andy and Barney head up to Raleigh in one episode, as well as **the** Andy, Opie, and Aunt Bee going to Hollywood for three episodes. :smack: Well, he wasn’t just ANY Andy… _Frasier_ had the Crane gang going on a cruise to Alaska in one episode, trying to make it to Sun Valley, Idaho in another, as well as also Belize, and Boston (quite naturally) near the end of the series. In addition to the LA episodes, _Seinfeld_ also saw Jerry travel to Florida several times to deal with his parents and Jack Klompus, as well as Ithaca in one episode. ---

Frasier and company also went to Canada, then had to get Daphne back through customs without a passport. Come to think of it, that wasn’t actually a location shoot. ---

> [@Chefguy](#): > > Frasier and company also went to Canada, then had to get Daphne back through customs without a passport. Yup, and there were also the “Adventures In Paradise” episodes in Bora Bora with Lilith. _Sex And The City_ had the girls go out to LA for a couple of episodes. ---

_SNL_ went to New Orleans once. It was such a mess, their only other trip was to a studio location in Brooklyn. _Grace Under Fire_ went to Las Vegas. ---

> [@TriPolar](#): > > They didn’t really have a base location though. There are a variety of shows where the characters are always traveling, Rt. 66 as an early example. **Stargate: SG-1** then. 😛 **Big Bang Theory** has been to Las Vegas a couple of times, gotten halfway to Bakersfield, confronted a bully in Carlsbad, gone to Texas, Florida, Russia and the ISS, San Francisco, Big Sur, Napa, and Comic-Con. Virtually all of them in-studio. ---
