New York I love you, but get off my TV
Chicago is portrayed more frequently than I thought, but if this year’s lineup is any indication, it’s portrayed extremely badly.
Indeed. But this is the case every year. “Chicago” is coastal shorthand for “large American city that isn’t LA or NYC.” You can learn everything these shows know about Chicago without ever leaving O’Hare’s United terminal.

In all fairness, Chicago got plenty of TV locale attention through the mid ’90s and early ’00s with Chicago Hope and (more importantly) ER.

of course, a lot of those shows are set in Mythical New York (or at least some weird archetypal new york), not Real New York
