“The Mighty Ducks” did a good job featuring Minnesota. “D2” did a shit job. Even called Minneapolis a “po dunk town”. I think the writers had nit watched the first movies.

    I’ll be honest, I’m from Minnesota but haven’t seen TMD. But I love when shows emphasize and feature its location. Even if it wasn’t filmed there, The Mary Tyler Moore Show kept things reasonably Minneapolis-centric. Cheers/Frasier in Boston/Seattle, The Drew Carey Show is proudly in Ohio, Seinfeld in New York, Full House in San Francisco, more recently Breaking Bad in New Mexico… We’ve got a huge country, let’s use its different settings!

    Unfortunately so many places are lucky to offhandedly mention where it all takes place, trying to appeal to the lowest common denominator IMO.
