30 Day Fictional Settings Challenge, Day 3: TV Workplaces

Places of work have a storied history in television. Hospitals, police stations, offices of various kinds. This broad type of setting has long been the domain of dramas and procedurals, and especially since the original version of The Office, of “mockumentary” type single-camera sitcoms. Today’s main prompt is: What is your favorite workplace featured in a TV show or series?

Bonus Prompt: Have you ever found yourself comparing your own job to a similar one held by a TV character, and if so, was their workspace realistic in your opinion?

New Office Prompt: When a TV show updated or switched out its core workplace set—was it an improvement, or did the magic disappear with the original setting?
