Totally inspired by the awesome Gavin and Stacey thread and not to hijack that one thought I would ask this.

I live in Stella. Pontyberry is EXACTLY like my town. (In fact some of it IS my town massive claim to fame drop ). Me and my friends often say how familiar the characters are. We could spend some time comparing them to people we know.

I think when you can resonate with aspects a programme becomes more real, and a sitcom more funny.

So I'd like to know where in telly land you think you live because I'm nosy

haha MsRamone I came on to say The Royle Family. I am embarrassed to say (and may out myself) I live in the town where pint of lager was filmed. Hated the show. Unfunny, immature, pathetic. And in Runcorns' defence, there are some quite nice parts of our town which were not shown in that excuse for a sitcom. People who like that show probably like Lee Nelson and Mrs Browns Boys.

FuckYouChrisAndThatHorse · 16/10/2015 10:49

The Waltons.

Passmethecrisps · 16/10/2015 10:49

Probably outnumbered despite having only one child she feels like more.

i found it very difficult to find the Royle Family funny as it was like watching my family.

minesapintofwine · 16/10/2015 10:50

I like 2pintsoflager. And Mrs Brown's boys Grin

can't stand Lee Nelson though. Knobhead

Outnumbered. The similarity between dd and Karen in astounding. Ds1 very much shakes his head and sighs at his smaller siblings and ds2 spends a lot of time covered in mud. At 3 years old he is a Ben in training.

Costacoffeeplease · 16/10/2015 10:53

Nearest to where I live is benidorm - although it's not really like benidorm the town, it's a European holiday resort, and there are some types of expats that are universal!

Gileswithachainsaw · 16/10/2015 10:53

outnumbered her also Grin

except I only have 2

Maudofallhopefulness · 16/10/2015 10:57

A cross between Jam and Jerusalem and The Royle Family.

TheIncredibleBookEatingManchot · 16/10/2015 10:59

In my head it's Buffy the Vampire Slayer, but in real life Outnumbered minus Karen.

Chippednailvarnish · 16/10/2015 11:00

Shameless

GoofyIsACow · 16/10/2015 11:02

Everybody loves Raymond... Eerily so, almost every detail is the same, in fact if it hadn't been written before my life I would wonder if i was being stalked! Grin

ollieplimsoles · 16/10/2015 11:05

I'm everybody loves Raymond too! My mil is fucking insane and round here way more than we would like

Butterflies. The cooking. The teens when they're home. The husband. The mid life crisis. No Leonard though (yet) :)

TittyBiskwits · 16/10/2015 11:10

I wish I lived in Sex and the City but the reality is Shameless.

SaucyJack · 16/10/2015 11:14

The A-Team.

I like to think I'm BA Baracus in both style and substance.

JeffsanArsehole · 16/10/2015 11:15

I want to live in Modern Family

I suspect it's more Sopranos Hmm

Nataleejah · 16/10/2015 11:43

Home and Away. But i think i'd soon get fed up how intrusive the people are into each others lives.

Moln · 16/10/2015 11:52

I have a small bookshop in Stars Hollow.

laffymeal · 16/10/2015 11:56

The Middle, so many of the stories are straight out of our lives. One day I hope to live in The golden girls
