- Also old CBS Latenight series like "Night Heat" and "Adderly" were filmed in
- Toronto, and set in "unnamed eastern cities". "Adderly" almost certainly
- was set in Ottowa (he's a govt. agent, and they frequently refer to
- "ministry" business as opposed to "federal" matters). "Night Heat"
- was in an unnamed city that was supposed to be a mirror image of New
- York or possibly Boston.
-
- Many miniseries are filmed in Toronto but set elsewhere: "I'll Take
- Manhattan" for example.

- Actually, they only said they were in LA for the first two seasons. Then
- MacGyver and Pete quit the DXS and went to work for the Phoenix Foundation,
- Mac moved to the houseboat, etc. It was certainly a West Coast city,
- but after the move they never said where it was. IMHO, it was winter
- too often to be LA! I'd vote for Seattle.
