1. _Law and Order_ 2. _Friends_ 3. _Dragnet_ 4. _Three’s Company_ 5. _E.R._ 6. _Due South_ 7. _St. Elsewhere_ 8. _Mythbusters_ 9. _Dexter_ 10. _All My Children_ **For all of the following, shows that have the name of the city in the title are disqualified. Thus, NYPD Blue, LA Law, and Chicago Hope are not acceptable answers, and will be scored as PASS.** Did you read the special rule above? 😃 NO!😃 1. In all its myriad flavors 2. Well, so they said. But it’s some weird alt-NYC, where rent is never a problem. 3. I think it fits more as a comedy than as a drama. Dramas don’t have ghosts kvetching to their sons through crime investigations. 4. What!? It’s either a drama or a comedy: Finding out whether they can confirm a myth is dramatic; and when they blow things up it’s funny. 5. Melodramas are dramas, right? Right? And at least I didn’t mention any reality shows. 😉 ETA: Of course, I’m still gonna crash and burn… _sigh_ ---

Well… I knew it took place in some east coast city, but I haven’t seen it, so I took a shot. Guess I missed by a 100 miles 😉 ---

1. Law & Order 2. Friends 3. Dragnet 4. Three’s Company 5. E.R. 6. Bob Newhart 7. Spenser for Hire 8. Monk 9. Dexter 10. Cold Case It’s so weird how some of them were such instant associations. I have probably not seen an episode of Dragnet in like, 20 years. Possibly more. But it was my instant answer for Los Angeles (Dragnet, duh), even though I routinely watch other shows that are set in LA, such as The Shield. ---
