Speaking of "Glee" -- the setting for the show is Ohio. It seems that Ohio has had its share of being the setting for television shows and movies. In addition to "Glee" there was "WKRP in Cincinnati" and the recent "Hot in Cleveland" and "3rd Rock from the Sun."

And although I cannot think of a single movie or play right now, I know there were some. It seems like in the old days if there was a part for an ingénue making her way in the big city, the ingénue was from Ohio. (This will drive me crazy all day until I think of an example.) Of course, Doris Day was really from Ohio, born in Cincinnati, and she landed a lot of those ingénue roles.

Geez. I sure can digress....but if anybody can think of any others -- movies, plays, television shows -- set in Ohio, I hope they will post them here.

Boomer the Buckeye Ingénue (ok the Buckeye part is right, at least)
