Did you know that ‘Glee’ is set in Lima?
I had overheard the characters in ‘Glee’ mention that they lived in Ohio but until the latest episode on Wednesday, Sept. 23, I wasn’t sure where exactly.
Last night one of the characters mentioned they were in western Ohio. I turned to Zack and said “Did you hear that? They are in western Ohio.” Zack replied, “But we’re in western Ohio.”
As the episode continues, characters started using the phrase “Lima Loser” and I realized the show is set in Lima. A fictional high school in Lima, but Lima none-the-less.
The phrase “Lima Loser” was being used in the show to describe people who live their entire life in Lima. I checked Google to see if that phrase was something people in Lima actually say but all I could find was a Facebook page which seems to have been created around Sept. 17. The page appears to be the creation of a local radio station.
‘Glee’ isn’t the first TV show set in Ohio, and it’s surely not the last.
Other notable TV series set in Ohio include:
- ‘3rd Rock from the Sun’ was set in the fictional city of Rutherford, Ohio
- ‘The Drew Carey Show’ was set in Cleveland, Ohio, Drew Carey’s hometown
- ‘Ed’ was set in the fictional town of Stuckeyville, Ohio
- ‘Family Ties’ was set in suburban Columbus, Ohio
- ‘WKRP in Cincinnati’ but I am not sure where that show was set
If you haven’t been watching ‘Glee’ you should give it a shot. It is definitely not for everyone but there is a lot of laughs and a lot of music, new and old.
And ‘Glee’ is not just about a high school glee club, there’s football too:
‘Glee’ airs Wednesdays at 9/8c on FOX.
