Extra Hot Great

I enjoyed the discussion of New Girl and how it could easily be Chicago because I swear for at least the whole first season I genuinely thought it took place in Chicago.  That's probably as much because I only pay half attention when watching as anything else, but it just felt Chicago-y to me.  I'm sure Nick being from Chicago is partly to blame (though again, if I paid full attention then any mention of the fact that he's from Chicago would be a pretty good sign that the show is not set in Chicago).  I also think I might have been associating the show somewhat with My Boys.

I am from Baltimore and I have always treasured this 2000 quote from then-Mayor, now-Governor, future-President* Martin O'Malley, the real-life Tommy Carcetti, for its whiny bitchery: "I kind of envy the mayor of Providence, who has that wonderful show about his town. There are always colorful leaves blowing across the street and the lady is a doctor and she's doing good work and helping sick kids."

*If HRC somehow massive fucks up 2016 primary season, maybe
