Yea, MWC is Chicago. The open of MWC starts with a shot of some famous fountain in Chigaco.

yes, its the Buckingham Fountain. ive taken a swim in it, pretty warm waters, lots of bacteria. wouldnt recommend it.

Um, Bob Newhart...


most people here are going....."wait...who?"
Yeah, but what about the popular drinking game that swept the nation based on this show? For those who don\'t know it, watch an episode and drink everytime someone says "Hi Bob". You will be hammered in 30 minutes!

Unfortunately, my poll is by no means an exhaustive list of all Chicago-based comedies.  If I didn\'t rush to submit my thread and poll, I probably would have remembered some Chicago essentials.  Can\'t believe I forgot Married With Children, which I rank higher than both of the shows in the poll.  Sorry Mark, I think I missed Newhart by a few years, though my parents were fans of it.
