"Do you have any special skills?" "I can draw. How about you?" "I can play clarinet." "I didn’t know that." "Yeah. Ten years. Ah." "You know, it, uh, might also be up to us to repopulate the earth." "I’m okay with that." "So shall we?" "Wait here. I’m gonna brush my teeth."
"Does anyone have any questions?" "I do. Why are there no tires in Star Wars?"
"You're an adult who can't get by without an allowance from his parents. Women don't want that."
"What are you saying? That you're giving up on me? What kind of father gives up on his son?"
"I have six children, five of whom are married and self-sufficient. I don't think I'm the problem."
"Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow..."
"What happened?"
"I tried to let go of anger, and threw a rock into my foot."

"Orville, because I admire him; Wilbur, because he was Orville's plus-one."
"Now we got a lot of family coming in tomorrow. I'm gonna need everyone's help. Think of this as one of your comic book movies. There's a bunch of superheroes, each with a different task."
"Oh, like the new Avengers."
"Which one was that?"
"The one you slept through last weekend."
"Ah. That was a good nap."
"I think it's more like, uh,... like Lord of the Rings, and you're the Fellowship. Someone's gotta go to Gondor, someone's gotta go to Mordor, someone's gotta hold off the Demon of Shadow and Flame."
"You mean the Balrog?"
"I mean my mother."
"It says here to 'Leave no stone unturned.' "
If you're wondering if this is a show primarily about people who share a workplace, or about a group of friends, the answer is "yes." Obviously, over time, neither is an absolute- you can find regular characters who are not friends and/or do not share the same workplace.
The show is at least as recent as 2012 (first Avengers movie). The characters seem to be interested in comic books and other fantasy. I finally recognized the discourse between Raj and his father.

The first exchange was Stuart and Denise. They were at the comic book store and the streets seemed oddly empty.
The second was Mark Hamill, wedding officiant, stalling to buy time for Sheldon and Amy to show up. Georgie (Sheldon's older brother) is a tire mogul in Texas. He asked that question.
Raj and his father. Raj kept drawing a HEFTY allowance from his RICH Dad. Despite that, Raj still had trouble starting relationships, let alone keeping them.
Sheldon was mad that Bert, the Geology guy, got an award. He was unable to just get over it.
Sheldon and Leonard and a not-uncommon exchange.
Sheldon and Amy Farrah Fowler, with Sheldon "improving" their wedding photos.
Amy planned her wedding, and had a job for everyone, the most important of which was keeping her mother busy and not interfering with the wedding.
Mrs Wolf recognized the clue from Raj's scavenger hunt pretty quickly. They had been sent from the Riddler display at the comic book store to the next stop, and that was the next clue.
Two of the main supporting characters appeared on this series and its spin-off. When the spin-off moved to another network, this practice continued. This was the first time the same continuing characters appeared on two different television series, broadcast on two different networks at the same time.
The star has said that he performed about 90% of his own stunts.
In the spring of 1977, before production began on what would be the show's final season, the star refused to go to work until contract demands were met. At one point, it was reported that producers were considering hiring a new actor to take over the series. Among those considered were Gil Gerard, Bruce Jenner, and Harrison Ford (the producers said he was unsuitable as an action hero).
There were action figures. It was the right decade for action figures. And not all of them were made by Mego, just most of them.
The show had a main character, and a spin-off. The main character was an action hero.
*thinks*
I'm going with "the Six Million Dollar Man." That had a spinoff- "the Bionic Woman." There were action figures of Steve Austin- I had one- and of Oscar something. (Goldman- I had to look up the cast's names.) There was also one of Maskotron. He was a robot bad guy who could be disguised as Steve or Oscar, or wear his own face. I never saw those in stores, but they were advertised on the box of the SA figure, and of the space capsule/bionics operating theater playset. I don't remember the boxes showing an action figure for the Bionic Woman.
If I was correct, the action figures for that series were huge- a foot tall or something, not 8-inches like the Mego ones. If I was correct, you had a foot-tall Oscar Goldman action figure? Were you a big fan of the character?
*slaps forehead* "OG" for Oscar Goldman. I was thinking the slang meaning, that you were discussing an old school character. (An "original gansta.")
The entire line was hard to find in stores. I imagine your family looked for Steve and only found Oscar. I think mine knew I was a big fan of the show at the time. I even had an "electro-genic arm" which I wore around. And that thing was uncomfortable because it was built so cheaply and clumsily. It was a hard semi-circle of gray plastic, plus one big decal of circuits, and a strap to hold it in place. One size fits nobody, I think.
Interestingly, when the show was broadcast in Israel, it was called "The Man Who Is Worth Millions". This was due to the fact that, in Israel, the number six million is associated with the Holocaust. In Spanish-speaking countries of Latin America ONLY, the series is known as El Hombre Nuclear ("The Nuclear Man").

I checked earlier today, you're right about "the Nuclear Man" as the title down here.
Some cities are more popular than others as settings for shows, and have had multiple series set in them. In this case, I recall 3 live-action series set in this city. The last of those shows was a little obscure (but has its own wiki.) The first of those shows was famous (but does not appear to have its own wiki.)
In between those shows was a show with popularity between famous and obscure. It ran for 5 seasons. It was written as a serious show, an action drama. It didn't really cross over with any shows, but was in-continuity with at least 1 show that aired after this show ceased production. The last episode of the series was planned to be the last episode. It took place a decade after the rest of the series, and was titled "The Beginning..." The show borrowed freely from other media, but was as much inspired by them as anything else, taking plenty of dramatic license, which resulted in a better show. It could be argued that=despite this show using largely unknown actors- they used at least 2 well-known actors in recurring roles. (For some value of "well-known actor." At least, I knew who they were before this show, and that wasn't true of the rest of the cast, generally speaking.)

No. Not a legal show, not the city of Boston. If you were thinking of William Shatner, then wrong actor, but correct general franchise for one of the actors.

It was set a decade after the rest of the series, and was titled "The Beginning..." The show borrowed freely from other media, but was as much inspired by them as anything else, taking plenty of dramatic license, which resulted in a better show. Despite this show using largely unknown actors, it could be argued that they used at least 3 well-known actors in recurring roles. One of those actors had been on television, and in a major movie series, (a trilogy, sorta.) The other 2, despite not having worked together previously, were both well-known from roles in well-known Science Fiction franchises (one from "Firefly", one from a "Star Trek" show.) Across one season, an electric light shone outdoors was a significant item.
(Again, this was not a legal/law firm show, nor does it contain "Law" or any variation in the name, nor do lawyers play any significant role in the story. If you still think they do after this, it's not because I didn't try to warn you off a dead end. None of this parenthesis is any sort of clue, I'm just trying to head off digressions into the wrong shows.)

Some cities are more popular than others as settings for shows, and have had multiple series set in them. In this case, I recall 3 live-action series set in this city. (This city does not have its own wiki, but it has a page in at least 13 wikis.) The last of those shows was a little obscure (but has its own wiki.) The first of those shows was famous (but does not appear to have its own wiki- it has pages in a more general wiki.) That's a lot of attention for a city that doesn't even exist.
In between those shows was a show with popularity between famous and obscure. (It has its own wiki.) It ran for 5 seasons.

This show had good ratings and was probably watched regularly by al least 1/2 of the regulars in this thread.

Is the city a real location or just made up, like, say, Smallville?

I direct you to the first paragraph, especially its last sentence.
