Why Is Everything Always Set in New York or L.A.?

The Chicago River at night, perfect for TV

Chicago is the "Second City," but on television, it is definitely behind New York and Los Angeles.  But I wanted to know just how far behind, so I looked up the current television lineup for all the network shows and determined their settings (I did not count reality shows, news programs, or game shows).  Many shows locations are unknown, such as The Simpsons, but others do have a setting.  What I found out was somewhat startling:  Chicago tied for dead last in the number of shows set at a location.  Here is the location list from most to least:

1. Los Angeles/California: 11 [90210, Brothers and Sisters, FlashForward, Melrose Place, NCIS: Los Angeles, Numb3rs, Private Practice, The Big Bang Theory, Two and a Half Men, The Mentalist, Trauma]
2. New York/New Jersery: 9 [Mercy, 30 Rock, Castle, CSI: NY, Gossip Girl, How I Met Your Mother, Law & Order, Law & Order: SVU, House]
3. Virginia/D.C. : 4 [Bones, NCIS, The Cleveland Show, The Vampire Diaries]
4. Miami/Florida: 3 [Cougar Town, CSI: Miami, Miami Medical]
5. Pennsylvania: 3 [Cold Case, Three Rivers, The Office]
6. Indiana: 2 [Parks and Recreation, The Middle]
7. Chicago: 1 [The Good Wife]
8. The Rest Where a Location is Known: 11

To me, this was very surprising as Chicago is the third largest city in the United States as well as having previously had a fair number of shows set there (Perfect Strangers, Family Matters, Chicago Hope, ER, etc).  What was perhaps the most startling to me was that Indiana had two shows set there.  Granted they are both in fictional towns, but come on, the Hoosier state rarely gets any TV love so I'm counting this. 

The End of Innocence... Plus 8

In a shocking revelation, Jon and Kate Plus Eight is staged!  We here at Puggling are seeing the walls of our reality crumbling down.  Food no longer tastes as good, life seems dreary.  We were there when the twins first spotted Elvis hanging out with Bigfoot.  We reveled when little Aiden ski jumped over that shark.  When Jon and Kate got arrested for not helping out a person in need, we were there supporting them.  To now find out that none of that was real, we are just devastated.

Why does actual reality have to be boring?  We believe that a T.V. show about how a family of ten lives would be great!  It would be an hour of watching the family do things that a family of ten does.  Here is a breakdown:

1. Parents trying to remember each child's name: 5 minutes.
2. Parents color coding each child's outfit to help them remember those names: 10 minutes.
   
3. Children not following the system of color coding: 7 minutes.
4. Parents freaking out because each child now is wearing an outfit of eight colors: 15 minutes.
   
5. Parents gently rocking back and forth in a padded cell: 23 minutes.

We feel this would be very accurate to reality!  Great television doesn't have to be scripted!  Please Jon and Kate Plus 8, go back to the reality we so crave.  Kick the crap out of those damn Duggars!
