“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.
On the flip side, Supernatural does a terrible job when it tried to portray Sioux Falls.
