Picket Fences is an American family drama television series about the residents of the town of Rome, Wisconsin, created and produced by David E. Kelley. The show ran from September 18, 1992, to June 26, 1996, on CBS in the United States. It sometimes struggled to maintain a stable primetime audience and had fluctuating ratings, due in part to its Friday night death slot. In its first season on the air, it placed 63rd in prime-time Nielsen ratings and in its second season it moved to 61st. Nonetheless, the show won critical acclaim and was a major awards winner, winning 14 Primetime Emmy Awards during its run, and is now regarded as a cult classic. The show's exteriors were shot in the Los Angeles suburb of Monrovia, California. Outstanding Drama Series at the 45th Primetime Emmy Awards, September 19, 1993 — hosted by Angela Lansbury at Pasadena Civic Auditorium.
