Leesa asked about cities but I don't actually like cities. I much prefer towns and villages. So I'm going for favourite cities on TV/in films.
*Not to be taken seriously.*
1. London. Actually, London would qualify as a favourite city based on its history. But it's the city of Sherlock Holmes, The Professionals, Dempsey and Makepeace, with a history of Upstairs, Dowstairs and You Rang, M'Lord? And thousands of other series, films, and books. If it's set in the UK, it's probably in London. I'm surprised tourists manage to find their way anywhere else.
2. LA. I've seen a lot of US movies and shows. If I based my knowledge of geography on them, I'd be convinced the US consists of LA, New York, Washington DC (but only for politics), and tiny towns. I'd also be convinced that everything exciting happens in LA.
3. New York. This is the place where chefs, waitresses, and masseurs can afford really nice apartments. This is where Friends can afford to spend most of their lives sitting in coffee shops and not get fired.
4. Paris (France, not Texas.) The most romantic place on earth.
5. Sydney, Australia. Where everyone drinks beer, wears hats, and has an amazingly casual attitude over the myriad of poisonous creatures, plants, and trees that surround them.
