TV shows allow us to escape our lives and dive into a completely different world. For instance, shows like Hart of Dixie give us that small town country experience, while Sex and the City let us explore life in the big apple.

Each state has had an iconic TV show set in it, so, Insider released a list of the most popular TV shows set in every single state.

Of course, every state has had multiple shows set in it. Take California, for example; there are numerous TV shows set in the sunshine state, so how did Insider narrow down each state's most iconic TV show? Here is what the report said about making the list:

"We looked at how many awards any given show has won or was nominated for using IMDb and Rotten Tomatoes, as well as its cultural impact in today's world to determine the most famous TV show in every state."

Which TV show set in Minnesota is the most iconic?

The Mary Tyler Moore Show.

Here is what the report had to say about The Mary Tyler Moore Show:

"The Mary Tyler Moore Show is one of the most acclaimed television shows of all time, picking up 29 Emmy Awards throughout seven seasons. The series, which aired in the '70s, focused on a young woman working at a local news station, and is considered TV's first female-dominated sitcom ever."
