Wiendish Fitch March 23 Share March 23 (edited) Would definitely NOT want to live in: Mayberry: Living in Mayberry is proof that one can, in fact, die of boredom. Sure, the crime rate is low, but I've always theorized that Sheriff Andy had sinister, less-than-legal methods of keeping it that way. Stars Hollow: My god, Phoebe Buffay would find the excessive quirkiness of this place unbearable. I agree with Emily Gilmore that Stars Hollow is made up mostly of "carnies and misfits" who have absolutely nothing meaningful going on in their lives, which is why they fixate on the daily activities of a random kid. I've griped before about the "town's favorite son/daughter" elsewhere, and by golly, I'm going to gripe about it again. It's dumb, it's weird, it's unfair to other kids, and you're just setting up said favorite son/daughter for failure, because the real world's going to be harder and more competitive than their cozy small town!

Spartan Girl March 23 Share March 23 Ooh, fun idea! I second that I wouldn’t want to live in Stars Hollow (or any small town for that matter). I sure as hell wouldn’t want to live in Sunnydale either (and not just because of the Hellmouth). I only would stay in Hawkins long enough to check out the Starcourt Mall and Scoops Ahoy, and then GFTO before the mall blew up lol. Gosh, now I’m wondering where in TV Land I’d want to live. Maybe in the Futurama version of Earth… 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/152526-fictional-towns-we-would-or-wouldnt-want-to-live-in/#findComment-8614697
