What Fictional TV Town Would You Live In?

GeekMom god Alan Tudyk tweeted out the news that Chatswin, the fictional town from ABC’s Suburgatory, was on its way to becoming a real town.

Of course, it was an April Fools’ joke — and an obvious one at that. After all, aside from a few very special episodes, the show’s setting always seemed like sort of a horrible place to live. Chatswin is clean, but it’s got that whole Stepford vibe. After all, isn’t that the whole idea behind the show? So that got me thinking about some of the fictional TV towns that would have me willing to relocate. Here’s what I could come up with:

1) Smallville, Kansas (Smallville). Everyone is nice, pretty easy on the eyes, and seems to support local business. Of course, it has sort of a high crime rate, but hailing from the hometown of one of history’s greatest superheroes would be some pretty cool bragging rights.

2) Mayberry, North Carolina (The Andy Griffith Show). It could be a lot more diverse and it’s even a little cliché. That said, the people are nice and the slow pace is really appealing — even to a tech junkie like myself. And really, if your town’s biggest problems are bootlegging and moonshining, that’s the place I want to be.

3) Pawnee, Indiana (Parks and Recreation). It’s sort of dumpy, but it’s also home to some of the best worst-for-you food I’ve ever drooled over. Sweetums aside, Pawnee: The Greatest Town in America says that vistors can feast on the 9-pound Meat Tornado Burrito at Big Head Joe’s or just camp out at JJ’s Diner, where you can “order waffle toppings as coffee toppings.”

What fictional TV town would you consider calling home?
