Here is a list of my top 10 favorite shows to be set in New York City. Let me know if you feel like I left something out!
10. Night Court
I totally thought this was ridiculous growing up, but it turns out that the court system in NYC really does run 24 hours a day.
9. Law & Order
Law & Order has several variations that have been set in NYC (Criminal Intent, SVU, etc.) and all of them have been just fabulous!
8. The Jeffersons
Much like George and Wheezy we recently moved on up to the East Side and we love it here.
7. All in the Family
I heart Edith Bunker!
6. Friends
This show was awesome but it gave me a very poor understanding of apartment sizes in NYC.
5.Seinfeld
Why...do they always...eat...at that diner? I've been there and it isn't the best diner in their neighborhood.
4. Sex and the City
One of my favorite shows ever!
3. The Cosby Show
Ah, Bill Cosby. Your penchant for salty, fatty food and love of jazz stay with me to this day.
2. Sesame Street
Everything's A-OK here!
1. I Love Lucy
This is quite possibly my favorite TV show of all time and, if I'm honest, a big part of the reason I moved to New York in the first place. As a little girl living in a run down little house in Texas (my family moved up to bigger and better as I got older but we started out in a pretty cruddy house out in podunk nowhere) I would watch reruns of I Love Lucy and marvel at how awesome life was in NYC. Considering one of my favorite movies at the time was also The Muppets Take Manhattan I feel like I was destined to end up here!
We love this list! All in the Family, which was set in Queens, has to be our favorite. That show is timeless!
