Town Name Origin Network Notes
Angel Grove, California Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Fox Kids, ABC Angel Grove, California is the fictional city where the original team of the Power Rangers was based. Presumably a fictionalized version of Los Angeles or San Francisco, the town was shown as being settled by the British, a historical impossibility. The population is 376,000 and the elevation is 241 ft. According to a computer trivia program it was established in 1775, another historical impossibility. Various episodes show every single sort of climate imaginable: mountains on one side, forest on another, desert on another, and an ocean shore on another.

The most frequented location in the city on the series was the Youth Center. The city also has a shopping mall, several schools, and a public library.

Cabot Cove Murder, She Wrote CBS Cabot Cove, Maine, is the small, fictional fishing village in which Jessica Fletcher lives in the television series Murder, She Wrote. Many episodes of Murder, She Wrote used Cabot Cove as a location because the show's producers were contractually obliged to deliver five Cabot Cove episodes a year.[4] Despite the town's population of 3,560,[4] Cabot Cove became notable as a place where a large number of murders took place. The New York Times calculated that almost 2% of Cabot Cove's residents died during the show's run. More visitors to Cabot Cove died than residents.[4]

Cabot Cove is named after the town's founder, Winfred Cabot. Perhaps setting the stage for the town's reputation for murders, Cabot was killed in a murder-suicide situation with his wife Hepzibah. It has an architectural heritage of Victorian houses. Given the village's rich history, coastal location and close proximity to eastern U.S. cities, Cabot Cove was transformed from a small, sleepy fishing village to a tourist destination for the people coming from New York City.
