> [@Acsenray](#): > > I suspect that Curb Your Enthusiasm gives you a pretty solid feel of life with the rich Hollywood side of Los Angeles culture – the places they go, the things they do. So I’d say it’s strongly regional, although the behavior displayed therein is farcical. By the same HBO token, I would imagine that Entourage is also. However, I’ve never lived in LA. ---

The outdoor shots on _Walking Dead_ remind me a lot of where I grew up. They’re filmed in rural Georgia, I grew up in rural Alabama, basically the same countryside, and the not-really-dead/not-really-living people wandering around just kind of clinch it. ---

> [@Oakminster](#): > > Missed edit window. > > _Cheers_–Boston > > _Mork & Mindy_–Denver > > _Roseanne_–Michigan > > _The Bob Newhart Show_-Chicago > > _Saturday Night Live_–NYC It’s odd you’d point out _Roseanne_ as having a strong sense of place as being Michigan, what with it being set in Illinois. ---

Definitely Texas and confirmed that it’s near a dam along the Colorado river. That puts it somewhere between Buchanan and Marble Falls, IMO. ---

Newhart was definitely Vermont (or at least Northern New England) [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/tv-shows-with-a-strong-regional-sense/612428.md?page=5)
