	I think this would be vastly improved if the shows were highlighted and you had to guess the city for that specific show. It's a bit easy as is.

	@ Tom...we have a "guess the sitcom city" quiz, this one's not limited to the comedy genre. And I agree that to make this more challenging, follow ESK's suggestion.

	MovieDynamic:	Sep 18th, 2009 at 04:29 GMT	-1 points
	I respectfully disagree.

	You know, you don't HAVE to guess all the big cities: I just filled in the ones that I was pretty sure of. I'm in the bottom half of the class, but I had fun. :-)

	random city guessing got me two bonus answers... yay?

	SporcleAdmin:	Sep 18th, 2009 at 04:35 GMT	4 points
	Thanks for the comments, changed this to go in order.

	MovieDynamic:	Sep 18th, 2009 at 04:37 GMT	2 points
	Aw man! Maybe you should have two versions, one in order and what not in order. Also your Sporcle egg looks funny, not sure why.

	MovieDynamic:	Sep 18th, 2009 at 04:37 GMT	1 point
	Sorry, that should be "one" not in order.

	sactoshc:	Sep 18th, 2009 at 04:40 GMT	3 points
	Another enjoyable quiz...I was surprised at how many I didn't know even though I'd seen the show a lot.

	tom...seriously, what are you talking about?

	Tom_the_Dog:	Sep 18th, 2009 at 04:55 GMT	3 points
	Apparently "Washington DC" does work for "Washington." Still, why doesn't the city name alone work? The city is named "Washington." It is located in the District of Colombia, but "DC" is not part of its actual name. If you're going by these standards, then the only acceptable answers should be "Las Vegas NV," "Seattle WA," etc.

	Is it my imagination, or does this seem heavily skewed towards crime and medical dramas? 15 police/detective/trial shows, 3 medical, Fringe, Dynasty, Thirtysomething (?!) and Queer as Folk. Weird quiz.

	nice bonus

	Omar Comin'!

	marpocky:	Sep 18th, 2009 at 05:36 GMT	3 points
	Any reason those particular shows were chosen to be bonuses? (And not regular answers, or left off entirely?)

	HollywoodLeo:	Sep 18th, 2009 at 06:26 GMT	5 points
	Why aren't WKRP in Cincinnati, Miami Vice, and Hawaii Five-O on this quiz?

	Giants2082:	Sep 18th, 2009 at 06:26 GMT	3 points
	i was about to guess the answer for Magnum P.I. but i stopped myself saying "no, no i'm thinking of Hawaii Five-O"....stupid decision... on a brighter note though, gotta love that of all the places House could be set in, it's located right in my home town of Princeton, New Jersey!

	I'm not one to complain that there's too much time (and I won't start now), but I was able to get through the meager number I actually knew and then pick up another half-dozen (for 14/22) by my usual city-guessing method (a combination of "Real World" locations and sport franchises. Shut up, it works for me). Maybe I'm just easy 'cause I don't care if a quiz devolves into "guess the city/state/country" - if I wanted to I could be like confused and keep it honest and only answer the ones I know.

	No NCIS? :P Takes place in Dumfries, VA! (I live there, which is why I'm one of the few people who knows/cares.)

	HollywoodLeo:	Sep 18th, 2009 at 07:19 GMT	0 points
	I used to live in Dumfries when I was in 9th grade. Well, I lived in Woodbridge, but my school was in Dumfries.

	tm4:	Sep 18th, 2009 at 08:24 GMT	6 points
	cigarette: I think that's because TV in general is heavily skewed towards crime and medical dramas.

	@moviedynamic Lots of green arrows recently. Hmmm.

	Wow Sporcle...way to crap on Baltimore. I am from right outside Baltimore and I have to tell you the entire city is not bad. It just has its bad portions like any major city. The inner harbor is beautiful, with tons of culture, art, sports, etc going on for everyone to enjoy. Don't judge a book by its cover? Don't judge a city by one area.

	Norfolk or Virginia Beach, VA really needs to get a TV show set here...

	NoVan:	Sep 18th, 2009 at 13:37 GMT	5 points
	Mr_Negative: Yeah, I'm from nearby too. You see, what Baltimore has is excellent crime reporters, who go off and make excellent crime dramas. About Baltimore.

	ted:	Sep 18th, 2009 at 14:02 GMT	1 point
	Great idea, but poor selection of shows (IMHO).

	drza:	Sep 18th, 2009 at 14:16 GMT	1 point
	I have watched more episodes of the wire than all the other shows on this list combined and I would guess its not even close. The only reason I actually clicked on it was because the wire was in the description but when I saw the list of shows I said this wont be good,when I found out it was guess in order I cried,when I cried Lisa cried,then Maggie laughed...shes such a little trooper!

	myriadoflights:	Sep 18th, 2009 at 14:34 GMT	4 points
	Glad I'm not the only one who was slightly aggravated about the Baltimore thing. I love Baltimore. It's my home city, and it's incredibly frustrating that people refuse to look beyond the wire when forming their judgments. I'm not outraged; I know it was just a harmless comment. But you have to understand, when you live in a city whose ONLY reputation seems to stem from an HBO crime show, it gets irritating to have to explain to virtually everyone who doesn't live in or near Maryland that not all of Baltimore is like the Wire. A lot of it is. But the whole city is not slum.

	Breaking Bad is least guessed? That's too bad...it's one of the best shows on here.

	Chiaprofessor:	Sep 18th, 2009 at 14:50 GMT	2 points
	I love Baltimore, and you guys are so right, there is so much more to the city than what is seen in the various crime shows that are set there. It's like Detroit, it isn't all as bad as what they showed in the RoboCop movies (okay, most of Detroit is)

	RyanUR:	Sep 18th, 2009 at 15:15 GMT	3 points
	@Chiaprofessor: I don't know if Baltimore really likes you saying "It's like Detroit".

	HollywoodLeo:	Sep 18th, 2009 at 15:50 GMT	0 points
	Calm down, folks. I'm sure the caption on the front page is a simple joke. If you get one of those "sense of humor" things you might get it.

	myriadoflights:	Sep 18th, 2009 at 16:36 GMT	1 point
	@HollywoodLeo: I have an excellent sense of humor. I make fun of Baltimore all the time. The difference is I actually live there and so am entitled to ridicule it when necessary. People who have no idea what they are talking about just sound ignorant when they make sweeping generalizations about a city based on a TV show. Is all Los Angeles like The Hills? All New York like Gossip Girl? No, I thought not.

	biggers:	Sep 18th, 2009 at 17:05 GMT	3 points
	I was so bad at this quiz - could we not have had "Dallas" for numpties like me
