Sam, I believe ABC is rolling out a new cop show set in Detroit this fall. I wonder how much will actually be shot there, or better yet, across the river in Windsor (sitting in for Detroit)?
Often times shows are set in other cities and the show films a scene or two there and uses some stock footage, but the bulk of ordinary footage is filmed in SoCal. Every once in a while some production will inadvertently film painted curbs, commonly used in CA to denote parking but not common in the Midwest, yet the show is supposedly set in the Midwest. I'd imagine arborists have long since tuned out the same observation about trees and other growth filmed. The productions I speak of usually just try to avoid filming any palm trees and hope folks don't care about the rest.
