Presenting the United States of Television

Do you know where the 'Two and a Half Men' live? Or where Tim "The Tool Man' Taylor was making his 'Home Improvement'?TV shows, particularly sitcoms, always seem to take place in a generic suburb (Just to save you a Google search, the settings of the aforementioned shows are Malibu, Calif. and Detroit, Mich.respectively). With the possible exception of programs that take place in New York or Los Angeles, most television shows seem to take place in "Anytown, USA."
Well, ponder the locales of your favorite TV shows no more. Last week, The Huffington Post published a map of the United States that linked every state to a movie. Now a blogger has created a similar map identifying every state with a TV show.

Since the show premiered, a lot of Lost fans have been analyzing every frame in order to find the Easter Eggs hidden in the episodes. Maps the characters are finding on the show have been one of the props fans are most interested in as they reveal more about the island(s).Two of the men behind the show (Carlton Cuse and Damon Lidelof) even mentioned in their latest podcast that Alcatraz island was planned all along, and Rousseau's maps seen in Season One proves it.
Discovery teams with Google Earth

Discovery Communications, the company behind the Discovery Channel, TLC, Animal
Planet, and a bunch of other networks with the word "Discovery" in them, has brought its video content
to Google Earth, Google's tenacious mapping project. Right now the content can be seen by clicking a globe icon located
next to ten of our National Parks. Users can select short-form videos featuring content from that particular area. More
videos will be added in the coming months, as many as fifty, and will expand beyond just the United States. Finally,
you can visit a National Park without exposing yourself to bear attacks. I assume that was the point of all this.TV Squad Hot Topics
