   "Silk Stalkings", supposedly set in Palm Beach, was one of the worst   
   offenders in this regard.  The Town of Palm Beach is a tiny enclave at   
   the north end of a very small island - a couple of miles long, less   
   than a mile across in most places.  The only supermarket has valet   
   parking and there are no poor sections of town.  (The poor people who   
   work there - like me not too long ago - live on the mainland side of   
   the bridges in places like West Palm Beach and Lake Worht.)   
   This whole part of the state is pooltable flat.  The highest point of   
   elevation within 50 miles is about 30 feet high - a landfill in Ft.   
   Lauderdale. Yet "Silk Stalkings" always had mountains in the   
   background, winding hilly roads, and no shortage of run-down   
   neighborhoods within the jurisdiction of the (surprisingly large) Palm   
   Beach police department.  ("Criminal Minds" also featured a   
   surprisingly hilly Palm Beach in one episode.)
