Best TV

Not everyone comes from one or lives in a small town, but TV shows about small towns permeate our networks. If you think about it, shows like&nbsp;The Simpsons&nbsp;are as much about a small town as they are about an average yellow American family. Because of our fascination with small towns and the strange and interesting people who live in them, small-town USA has been a major player in many of our favorite television series across the years.

The best thing about a good TV show featuring a small town is that it can be of any genre imaginable. Whether your interests stray towards horror/romance with shows like&nbsp;True Blood&nbsp;featuring vampires in a small town in Louisiana or you prefer the more grounded comedies like&nbsp;Parks and Recreation, there are plenty of amazing series to enjoy.

For more recommendations, browse this list of great small town shows vote up the series set&nbsp;small towns that are your favorites.

Let's face it: some places are less desirable to live than others, especially in the United States. With a lot of people migrating towards major metropolitan cities, it makes states that don't have either a big city or are rural not desirable places to live. Weather also plays a big part in figuring out where the worst place to live is. Would you rather be living in the freezing cold with snow potentially coming down as late as April or would you rather be living it up on the beach all year round. All of these important factors go into deciding which of these places is the worst place to live in America. There are some US states on this list that are noticeable punching bags. For example, New Jersey, Ohio and Mississippi on here. Likewise with cold weather states like Minnesota and overly hot desert land like in Nevada. If the weather is too extreme in one direction or another, the state is likely to be on this list. The same goes for lesser populated states like North Dakota, South Dakota and Idaho.Ultimately, it's up to you to decide where is the worst place to live in the U.S. and which states in the USA are the most horrible. Each place may have its merits and demerits, but one place has to be the worst place to live and it's on you to decide. Make your voice heard on this list of the worst states to live in.

Lists about sports for sports people who just can't get enough sports.

Hey There, Sports Fan!

The cities with the best sports teams dominate all others in North America with successful and popular teams in the NBA, NHL, NFL and MLB. These basketball, hockey, football, baseball and college sports towns consistently compete among the elite, bring home titles and earn the jealousy of sports fans outside of these metro areas, which are also some of the <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/america_s-coolest-cities/places-to-go">coolest cities around</a>. Having dominated the 2000s, it's hard to argue that Boston, Massachusetts, is not the best sports city in the country. Between the Patriots, Red Sox, Celtics and Bruins, Beantown is the only city to earn professional sporting championships in all four major sports within a 10-year span starting with the New England Patriots Super Bowl victory in 2002 and concluding when the Boston Bruins took home the Stanley Cup in 2011. Other cities might not have as many titles in a short amount of time, but their home teams are among the top all-time leaders in championships. Take New York City for example. The Yankees have 27 World Series titles but are only a fraction of the sports action in the Big Apple with no less than nine professional teams between the four major sports in the metro area.But like how Boston and New York are bitter rivals in Major League Baseball, there are plenty of other sports cities that are hungry to become part of the elite. Los Angeles, Indianapolis, Denver, Chicago and Miami are just a handful of the cities right on the bubble with plenty of talented sports teams ready to dominate. Which sports city will rule in the next century? Stay tuned sports fans to find out.Check out more lists like <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/best-european-cities-to-visit/island-hopper-dan">all the must visit cities in Europe</a>, <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/the-8-most-dangerous-restaurants-in-the-world/ivana-wynn">the World's most dangerous restaurants</a> and <a href="http://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/best-roller-coasters">all the best roller coasters across the globe</a>.
