The accuracy of portraying New York in the many versions

*pannoni1* · 10-25-2011, 07:08 AM

I watched an interview about the show "The Real Ghostbusters" about how the cast felt about the accuracy of how NYC, Manhattan in particular was portrayed. One member laughed about how there was a "14th avenue" in Manhattan, though it had some decent moments.

Now for the OT in particular, there were quite a few references that seemed out of place in the show. The United World Building instead of the United Nations. The Global Trade Towers instead of the World Trade Center (correct in Enter: The Fly, however). In one episode, I recall hearing "I-5" even! I've also heard stuff like "5th and Main", and there is no main street in Manhattan! On the episode Turtles, Turtles, Everywhere when April goes to the beach, you can see a little mountain, and they aren't found on the east coast until Maine!

Think of some other geographical references that got screwed up here.
