3 Popular TV Shows You May Not Know Were Set In Texas

I am telling you right now, once upon a time, anytime I would walk into my momma's house she was watching either a judge show, (shout out Sra. Polo) or Reba. Reba McEntire's show about a divorced mother with 2 kids who has to navigate daily life co-parenting with her ex-husband and his new, younger wife.

That is my take anyway because I never actually watched the show, I just knew it was momma's favorite. But legit I am today years old learning that the show was set in Houston, TX the entire time! You mean to tell me Barbra Jean (mom's favorite character) was a Texan like myself the whole time? Well now I want to go back and watch every single episode to see if there are many references.

King of the Hill-according to Wikipedia, this animated show is set in a fictional Texas town called Arlen, Texas. Wait, does Hank Hill have a Texas accent? Yet another show I've never watched, thus the reason I had no clue it was set in the Lonestar State.

Walker-this tv show on the CW, is a modern-day reboot of the 1990's show, Walker, Texas Ranger, with Chuck Norris from back in the day. Starring Jared Padalecki, it is set in Austin, TX. I mean at least the title of the original was a dead giveaway. lol
