All in the Family
(CBS, 1971-1979) comedy series
In an episode from 1976, "The Draft Dodger," Archie asks a friend of Mike and Gloria's where he's from:
Gloria: He's from up north, north of Niagara Falls.
Archie: Oh! Over by Rhode Island way?
A friend of ours who pointed this episode out to us noted, "Very authentic use of Rhode Island in a geography conversation, I thought."
