Cheesala, that post does nothing to change my opinion that you're a tool.

I don't have to fucking impress you.

Yes, but isn't scoring points with KKK what life is all about?

 

For an extra bonus credit, do you remember Vint's annoying kids from the first batch of shows?

 

I <3 Raytown.

 

We may have talked about this before, but where exactly was Raytown located? I first thought it was somewhere down South, but I remember watching one show that made me conclude it was in the Midwest (I'm thinking Ohio or Missouri; I can't recall which one).

There's a Raytown outside of Kansas City.

All About Raytown

 

The characters from Mama's Family & the Family sketches lived in a town called Raytown with tons of businesses, stores, streets, and products, all created just for the show. According to Vicki's autobiography & the Mama's Family Reunion, Raytown was based on Raytown, Missouri, a suburb of Kansas City. A Missouri license plate was also seen in the episode "Mama Learns To Drive."

Setting

The show was set in a fictitious small town called Raytown. It is presumed that Raytown is somewhere in the South or Midwest. Although a specific state is never mentioned as the setting of the show, some of the cast claim that it was modeled after the actual city of Raytown, Missouri. It is often mentioned on the show that the town is in "the Tri-state Area," which means it is located near the junction of three states. It should be noted that Raytown, Missouri actually is located near such a junction—that of Missouri, Kansas, and Nebraska. Furthermore, the show often makes a reference to a "Route 5". The start of the Kansas Toll Road is designated as Kansas Highway 5. Character speech, however, has a tendency throughout the series toward Southern accents. A more southerly setting is perhaps also suggested by no presence of snow during episodes taking place closer to Christmas.

Too much effort, and I'll put effort into anything.
