There is no national consciousness re. the actual filming location of television programs. Therefore, Detroit 1-8-7 gives the same national image [[which is to say, basically none) as a Martin or Home Improvement.

I don't watch much TV, but if a show is based in, say, Cleveland, then that's the imagine folks have. it doesn't really matter if it's actually being filmed in Studio City, CA or wherever.
Anyone who watched the show would have an idea that it's filmed in Detroit since all of the outdoor scenes were filmed on location throughout the Detroit area [[and it being a cop show necessitated a lot of outdoor scenes). It was a completely different set up from HI or Martin. Both were filmed completely on a Hollywood soundstage.
