I know people who couldn't distinguish Houston from LA. Or Seattle and Detroit.
SERIOUSLY? I mean, talk about not getting out much...
Maybe it is just me, but I dont think ya have to be city-savy to see an episode of Animal Cops: Houston then see a skyline that's being shown, making a connection, ya know?

I know its hard to grasp. But people like us know skylines in other countries, and normal people can't name the skylines in there state.
When they see it, they see concrete and glass, not the BOA, Wells Fargo, and Chase towers.

what is funny is the SPCA is not near downtown, they never ever go pick up animals downtown (its sometimes in places as far off as La Grange) and yet they show the Downtown Skyline in EVERY episode.

Pretty much. And that reminds me-
There's an aviation forum I check out from time to time & it's just like that over there. They can't grasp the idea that to the general public, a plane is a plane is an aluminum tube people get on to go from point A to point B. Instead they're appalled and shocked when a person can't tell a difference between a 737-200 and a 737-300.

Yeah, that's kind of my point. Sometimes when I watch, they're on some ranch in Sealy or Huntsville, both at least 50 miles from the city, yet they still show the skyline.
Why?
Because you'll know it's HOUSTON, the city for which the show is titled.
And even with that, some people still can't recognize the skyline when they see it somewhere else? That's like learning your ABC's in pre-K, but not knowing how to draw them on paper in the 5th grade to me....

Isn't Sealy north of Beaumont?
I think of it as showing a woman what an cam shaft does, then asking her what a cam shaft does a year later.
People who don't care about cities/architecture, don't remember that. Can you name all the pieces of "chic" furniture that one time you went in that store with your wife/girlfriend?
Other than Atlanta, excluding Dallas and Houston, there are no extremely prominent cities in the area. Not many other people would want to have interest in just medium sized cities.

What about Miami, New Orleans, Orlando, Charlotte, and Memphis? All of which are very prominent in the south.

Orlando and Memphis aren't really prominent in the South. Orlando maybe because of the tourists but they really don't have a skyline. Going down I-4 will show you it but it's nothing to remember.
