Brian in Boston Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 If memory serves me, the 1950s sitcom "Mr. Peepers" was set in a midwestern community named Jefferson City... though I can't recall if they actually said it was Jefferson City, MISSOURI.Brian in Boston Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jefferson City's biggest claim to show biz fame to date is that part of Planes, Trains & Automobiles was filmed there. By the way, the guy who played Mr. Peepers (Wally Cox - yes, I said "peepers" and "cox" in the same sentence), later went on to become the voice of Underdog.

Saintsfan Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 No-one has mentioned Happy Days yet. Problem is I can't remember exactly were it was set, Milwaukee is springing to mind but I could be wrong. 2011/12 WFL Champions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian in Boston Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 Las Vegas might be considered a bit too large for this list, but how about such stalwarts as "The Tortellis" and "Vega$"? Not to mention, "Las Vegas".Brian in Boston Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CC97 Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 There was a sitcom on CBS called "The Two Of Us" that ran in the mid 1980's, and I fondly remember one of the characters mentioning that the were going to be in Nyack for the weekend. Another TV show that was in the mid 1980's that was on American TV was an CBC export called "Hanging In" (You might rememer that show, Chris). It took place in the Toronto area, as did "King Of Kensington", which ran on TV in the USA for awhiole in the late 1970's.I'm too young to remember the shows, but I know of them, and see them on our versions of your retro TV channels.Actually the King of Kensington, Al Waxman, died not too long ago. --- Chris Creamer Founder/Editor, SportsLogos.Net "The Mothership" • News • Facebook • X/Twitter • Instagram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
