A running changelog of TV shows that got my city right (or hilariously wrong) while location-scouted a mile from my desk. Compiled between board game nights and claw machine losses, mostly for my own debugging reference when someone at the dumpling spot asks "wait, where was that filmed." No spoilers, just coordinates.

SF on screen, approved — 4 items
Name	Show	Years	Neighborhood Featured	Genre	Accuracy	My take
1Monk	Monk	2002–2009	Various, SFPD-centric	Detective comedy-drama	High for vibe, low for geography	Adrian Monk debugs crime scenes the way I debug prod: obsessively, out loud, alone.
2The Streets of San Francisco	The Streets of San Francisco	1972–1977	Citywide, Nob Hill chases	Crime drama	Surprisingly solid, pre-gentrification footage	A legacy codebase I still respect: clunky, dated, foundational.
3Dharma & Greg	Dharma & Greg	1997–2002	Nob Hill / Marina	Sitcom	Set dressing over substance	Sitcom logic: two people who met on a whim never once discuss rent control.
4Full House	Full House	1987–1995	Alamo Square / Lower Pacific Heights	Family sitcom	Iconic exterior, studio interior	The Painted Ladies did more unpaid marketing for this city than any tourism board.
