Canteen Lunch in the Alley in downtown Ottumwa, Iowa was the model for the Lanford Lunch Box in Roseanne Barr's sitcom Roseanne. Tom Arnold, Roseanne's husband during the time the show was on the air, was an Ottumwa native. The Canteen, founded in 1936, is known for its loose meat sandwiches... yum.

I've never seen the WB teen drama One Tree Hill, but you'll find Peyton Sawyer's house in Wilmington, North Carolina where the show was filmed. The writer John Jeremiah Sullivan was living in the house with his family during shooting, and he wrote an interesting essay about the experience for GQ called "Peyton's Place."

In the BBC comedy Pulling that aired from 2006-2009, Louise worked at The FleaPit cafe/bar/gallery in London on Columbia Road. The Guardian called Sharon Horgan, who co-wrote the series and plays Donna, 'the funniest woman you've never heard of.' Now you've heard of her.

Originally called the Bull and Finch Pub, this bar's exterior served as the establishing shots for the sitcom Cheers. When the owner of the Bull and Finch, Thomas Kershaw, was asked for shooting permission by the production company, he charged them $1.
In 2002, the bar changed it's name to Cheers Beacon Hill (named for the Beacon Hill neighborhood). There's another Cheers location (Faneuil Hall) in Boston that has a replica bar, and together the two restaurants pull in millions a year selling Cheers gear.
