Quizmaster is winning when you can include the actual title of the show in the question and it still only gets 33% (or the show was just very forgettable)

"The Friends of Eddie Coyle." Can't get any more Boston than that. "The Brink's Job," with Peter Falk, Allen Garfield, Peter Doyle, Warren Oates, Gena Rowlands, Paul Sorvino and Sheldon Leonard."Celtic Pride" -- never saw it, heard it is terrible, but hard not to include it. "The Last Hurrah" -- Spencer Tracy as a Boston politician. "The Boston Strangler." "Fever Pitch" -- it ends up at Fenway!

maybe, maybe not. Still...

Also, not really sure that's a "LOL" sort of thing, frost.

Agreed. It just shouldn't be in the question given that it's nothing to do with the plot. Very bad taste.

The Crucible wasnt set in Boston it was set in Salem. The quiz was "Movies set in Boston" not "Movies set in Massachusetts"

There's a continuous string of suburbs connecting Salem and Boston, and they're only about 15 miles apart from one another, so it's definitely in the urban area.

Number 1 - Fringe is an excellent, overlooked TV series. Number 2 - Crossing Jordan?
