Other TV Shows That Could Take Place in Minnesota

Fargo made its debut on FX this week. It was a gripping premiere, full of plenty of the shenanigans we’ve come to love from the Coen catalogue. Having lived in Duluth, Minnesota briefly, I got a kick out of hearing locations like Bemidji and Duluth referred to regularly. Then on Twitter, I saw this banter between IndieWire editor Sam Adams and Daniel Fienberg of HitFix:

ST LOUIS PARK ELSEWHERE. RT@HitFixDaniel: “Fargo” premiered well. Expect FX to greenlight “A Serious Man: It’s Always Jewish in Minnesota."

Naturally, this led me to wonder what other Minnesota-themed TV shows might be created.
