Andy Barker, P.I.: A Local Mystery?
So a new comedy premiered tonight on NBC.
The first line was “look out Fair Oaks, here I come.”
The title character was driving a car that appears to have California plates.
It looks California-y (though more Southern than Northern).
A mapquest search for “Fair Oaks, CA” yields 3 results: one in Mendocino, one in San Joaquin, one in Sacramento.
So, does Even Stevens finally have a companion in the “shows set in Sacramento” department? More importantly, if we just keep insisting that it is, will people start buying it, despite the high number of palm trees?
Update: well, thanks to the 20-minute-ly railroad fire updates, I believe we’re missing some vital clues in this mystery! But a mention of a (fake) Long Beach Star newspaper (and the obvious SoCal location shoots, but c’mon, it’s a TV shows, those get shot in L.A., right?) makes my master “It’s set up here” plan harder to pull off.
I thought so too! He said he was in the Fair Oaks Plaza - and I could SWEAR I thought I saw Noah’s Bagels!
SO I don’t know - I kept looking around for clues - but it did make me ears perk up to hear “Fair Oaks”
Well then I say we use the internet to spread it around that it IS our Fair Oaks out here. The internet will make it real. What’s Colbert’s word? Wikiality.
in tonight’s episode, andy finds mail at a condo of a murder victim, and the envelope reads Fair Oaks, CA 95628, which is the one near sacramento
NO WAY! Ahh - time to fire up the DVR and check it out. Great eye!
I’ll be sure to set this to record on our DVR!
