    Default Favorite fictional company or business on a tv show

    Many tv shows had characters who owned, ran, or worked at a fictional company or business.

    What was your favorite and which show did the best job utilizing a business into the storylines?

    Ewing Oil on Dallas - like Southfork, Ewing Oil was a central "character" on that show.

    Cheers on Cheers - 95% or more of every scene was shot inside the bar.

    McMann and Tate on Bewitched - so much of the show was built around Darren's job at the ad agency.
