What’s Your Favorite Fictionalized TV Show Town?

June 12, 2013 4:00 pm

Most of the time the locations of our favorite TV shows are fictional. There's no Stars Hollow, Connecticut like in Gilmore Girls, or Springfield like in The Simpsons. Yet, sometimes the writers decide to use a real city to be the backdrop for the characters' antics. The shows may be shot on sound stages, but they're set in fictionalized versions of some great U.S. cities!

Scranton, Pennsylvania
The mockumentary The Office takes place in Scranton, Pennsylvania. The opening credits even include shots of downtown Scranton. Devoted fans should take a trip to see iconic places like Poor Richards Pub, The Mall at Steamtown, and Lake Scranton. There is even an Office Fans Tour available to take you to all the famous locations.

Orange County, California
Many reality TV shows have chosen Orange County as their setting like The Real Housewives of Orange County and Laguna Beach. The best known show set in Orange County might be The O.C., where compelling characters get into all sorts of trouble in a sunny setting. 

Seattle, Washington
Seattle is home to Seattle Grace Mercy West Hospital in Grey's Anatomy where very attractive doctors save lives and fall in love. Although the hospital is fictional, you can see the real hospital, Seattle's Harborview Medical Center, the show sometimes uses for exterior shots. Meredith Grey's address may not exist, but the Queen Anne Hill neighborhood she resides in does.

Beverly Hills, California
The glamorous 90210 zip code in Beverly Hills has been home to hit shows like 90210, its later remake, and The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Stop by Rodeo Drive to shop in the same stores as some of your favorite characters.
