Where Knowledge Junkies Get Their Fix
Some shows are inextricably linked with their settings, like Seinfeld and New York, or Cheers and Boston. But other TV families could have lived just about anywhere. Do you remember where these 15 sitcoms called home?

Eau Claire WI was an option for the first question?!??! SWEET!!

Are you an Eau Claire resident? Or just a fan?
I’d originally put Milwaukee, but that city came up again in two other questions. I figured I had to expand into other parts of the Badger State.

YAY Eau Claire!!! My hometown!! How bizarre.
I always like to point out on sitcoms- people from WI are so often portrayed as stupid, naive, fat. Pick any two.

14/15 — I wonder if that means I have an exceptionally good memory for the arcane, or if I simply watch too much tv?

I missed Charles In Charge, and Hogan Family, but I think I might be able to forgive myself. :)
I’ve never seen Freaks And Geeks, nor Sports Night.
