Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I watched a lot of cop shows in the '70s. So I guess NY and LA got covered. And I loved Emergency and liked CHiPs.
Happy Days taught me very little about Milwaukee. (Or was that in a suburb of Milwaukee?) Neither did Lavern and Shirley, but I was annoyed when they moved to LA.
And my impressions of Fantasy Island were largely informed by the TV show of the same name.
Oh, and Hawaii Five-O for Hawaii.
That's the danger of not being subbed to every thread. I'm invariably behind somewhere.
You're a bad board citizen!

Roman holiday I saw after I had been there
New York- Huh. I grew up just a couple of hours away, so I'm not sure if my first images of NYC came from a movie or television show. I think the first book I read that featured NYC was A Cricket in Times Square, though.

Mine was Skippy! Which was like Flipper but with a kangaroo.
