God, I totally forgot about that show – I loved it, and one of the things I loved about it was that it was set in Philly in the period when I was growing up here.

Woohoo top 6…I watched too much TV. I Tied the author. Good feud.

Never have watched MONK nor Full House. Only show I could think in San Fran was Streets of San Frqancisco which would have been DQed. Then I remember my T/A fix on Tuesday night while in college. Three’s Company followed by Too Close for Comfort.

Should be counted together.

**fusoya** : I’ve never watched _The Big Bang Theory_, but according to [this page](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Big_Bang_Theory_(TV_series)), it features two Caltech physicists. Caltech is in Pasadena, and thus in Los Angeles County.

I’m in the middle.

I watch Mythbusters, Dirty Jobs, and Cold Case Files.

I can’t know this much about TV shows. Even with Wikipedia to help.

I demand a recount! I should be down there! 😃

Thanks **Dolores** , and fun idea, **Twickster**!
