I have found it interesting that Missouri seems to be relatively poorly represented in TV (Not discounting the formidable presence of Swrinfla!!!!). Seem to be a ton of transplanted New Englanders along with Michigan, Ohio, Illinois, Pennsylvania, and native Floridians. Is it my imagination or do you agree? My theory is that Missouri is just far enough west to be more oriented to Texas and Arizona for winter or retirement sites, and far enough south to allow some to think they can tough out the short winter. I have spent some winter time in South Padre Island, Texas over the last few years, and while it has it's attractions, it is not as warm as Florida and hasn't near the activities of TV, and I have no interest in the desert. Are there more Missourians than I am aware of, or any other theories as to why not? (Please no Kansans saying we are not smart enough to appreciate TV!)
