| 15 | That '70s Show's Point Place, Wisconsin |
The Real Version: White Lake, NY, site of the original Woodstock festival
Woodstock was in ’69. It’s not hard to imagine that the events of that, ahem, festival would inspire the recreational activities of a group of friends from 1976 suburbia.
| 14 | The Flintstones' Bedrock, Cobblestones County |
The Real Version: Pre-historic Austin, Texas
It’s quite hard to imagine what pre-historic Texas looked like, but I’m betting there were a bunch of dinosaurs and barefoot small men running around.
Also, there were probably lots of rocks (the rocks are the essential part).
| 13 | Jericho's Jericho, Kansas |
The Real Version: Somewhere in the middle of New Mexican desert
A post-apocalyptic town, cut off from all society and stranded without technology, being manipulated by unknown forces that are most likely the US Government...hey, that sounds like the nuclear testing fields of New Mexico!
| 12 | Spongebob Squarepants' Bikini Bottom |
The Real Version: Um...
Ok, this is a tough one. As of right now, the good ol’ US of A unfortunately has no underwater cities....that I know of. But if I’m being honest, there’s probably a Spongebob-like situation going on in the six-month-old stale pool water of the apartment next door. That water is growing things, I’m sure of it.
| 11 | No Ordinary Family's Pacific Bay, California |
The Real Version: Tallahassee, Florida
No Ordinary Family allegedly takes place in Pacific Bay, a little fictional town located somewhere in California. But I say, the sun is always shining, Julie Benz is always running all around the entire country, and no one ever sees any famous people, so Tallahassee, Florida it is.
It’s close to the water, so check for the sunshine. It’s more centrally located in the States than California, so Julie can zip anywhere she wants from a more feasible location. And there are no famous people.
Although, I’m not sure if that makes it a better or worse choice than California...
