What state is this supposed to be set?


I get a Alabama feeling - but does it ever really say?

My vote is for Camden, NJ. But the weather and the highway shots are sooooooo California.

Terrible things Lawrence. You've done terrible things.

...never mind. Just saw an episode where Earl refers to the other Camden, the one in NJ.

This is like Springfield in a The Simpsons.

In the episode "Burn Victim", Earl is seen writing a check to pay for a prom for a fellow prisoner, a gift in hopes the prisoner will make amends with his parents, thereby earning Earl 6 months off his sentence. As he writes "freedom" in the memo line, a closeup of the check is seen. Though Earl's information merely lists his address as "Camden County, USA", the bank information is also visible. The fictional bank, "Eagle America Bank" is listed as being in fictional "Glen Falls, Ohio 44529". Though the zip code is also fictional, it would be in the Youngstown, Ohio suburbs if real.

In the episode “Girl Earl”, Billie starts her own list and Earl discovers that they robbed the same person “Joel Malone” – played by Jon Heder – Camden County’s fastest bagger, who was interviewed by local news for an upcoming National Bagging Competition located in Youngstown, Ohio.

I think it is Tennesse, people have southern accents and Camden County was part of the Civil War caught between the North and South.

You'd see live oaks with moss if was in Alabama or in any other southern or southeastern state. I always thought it was in the southwest.


Under our clothes, we are all naked! Bare nipples (of females), genitals or buttocks is nudity.
