The majority of television shows have taken place in coastal areas of the US or in major cities like Chicago and New York. Do small-town, midwesterners feel left out?

According Wikipedia, the vast majority of TV shows have taken place in largely progressive states and big cities. These shows have been mostly populated by characters and situations germane to such places.

Since I’m from such a place (Boston), I can relate to many characters, attitudes, perspectives, and situations represented in New York, Seattle, Chicago, and so on.

I wonder though if folks from small-town America, in the Midwest or South perhaps, feel underrepresented on TV or can’t relate to certain attitudes or situations.

What are your thoughts?
