Wisteria Lane, Desperate Housewives
We're pretty sure the real-estate brochures don't advertise the plane crashes, murders or riots in this suburb.
Sunnydale, Calif., Buffy the Vampire Slayer
It may be home to Buffy Summers, but it's also located over a Hellmouth. We'd move, slayer powers or not.
Deadwood, S.D., Deadwood
It's definitely an upside when the local lawman looks like Timothy Olyphant, but its murder rate—and mud!—keeps this town off the Best New Cities in South Dakota list.
San Francisco, Charmed
The Halliwell sisters may have lived in a sweet Victorian house, but their witchcraft was a magnet for demons and warlocks to come crashing into their living room.
Twin Peaks, Wash., Twin Peaks
If you're looking for delicious cherry pie and cup of damn fine coffee (and hot!), you can do no better than this Pacific Northwest town's Double R Diner. But if a librarian type tries to engage you in conversation with a log, that's your cue to move along.
King's Landing, Game of Thrones
With that little jerk King Joffrey running the show in in the south, nobody's head is truly safe.
Chance Harbor, Wash., The Secret Circle
Witch kids are always running around burning stuff, causing major hurricanes and generally abusing their powers. This could have been a nice sleepy seaside community!
Haven, Maine, Haven
A whole town of "troubled" residents who cause supernatural disasters sure make things tricky for Audrey Parker.
Mystic Falls, Va., The Vampire Diaries
It's all fun and games until a vampire kills someone at a picnic, themed dance or Founders Day parade. Elena Gilbert's hometown really needs to stop these festive functions.
Baltimore, The Wire
The gritty drama portrayed a different side of the troubled city than we see in tourist brochures. In conclusion, it's not just crab cakes.
Downton Abbey, Downton Abbey
Don't let the gorgeous setting fool you—the English country estate is dangerous for heirs and houseguests alike.
The Murder House, American Horror Story
It's on the Los Angeles murder tour and it's overflowing with unwanted homicidal ghosts. Why would you even move into this beautiful house?
South Park, Colo., South Park
A lot of truly shocking things have plagued the sleepy Colorado town, but drum circles of hippies might be the worst.
Charming, Calif., Sons of Anarchy
Oh, the irony. We're not buying the "Our Name Says It All" slogan, but we are big fans of the town's SAMCRO crew.
Port Charles, N.Y., General Hospital
The fairly small city boasts an incredibly large mafia presence. Add that to the murders, kidnappings and a shipping disaster, and this soap-studded town could be the worst place to live in fictional daytime television.
Seattle Grace, Grey's Anatomy
Remind us to never get sick in the Emerald City. Seattle Grace Mercy West does not have the best track record for survival, not to mention a shocking lack of hospital safety.
The Island, Lost
Smoke monsters, whispering ghosts, killer inhabitants, mad scientists and time travel are just a few reasons why this tropical paradise isn't a popular tourist destination.
Bon Temps, La., True Blood
Fact: Ever since Bill Compton moved back to town, the bayou destination has had the highest crime rate in the state of Louisiana.
Tree Hill, N.C., One Tree Hill
It might be idyllic in some ways, but it is also crawling with psycho killers, kidnappers and some incredibly bad drivers. So lock your doors and never, ever drive on the bridge during a storm.
Cabot Cove, Maine, Murder, She Wrote
If there are enough murders in a small fishing village to fill up 12 seasons, then we are definitely not retiring with Jessica Fletcher.
Greendale Community College, Community
Sure, it's a fun place to play paintball, but isn't anyone concerned about the kleptomaniac monkey on the loose?
Springfield, The Simpsons
With esteemed titles like "America's Worst City" and "America's Crud Bucket" how is neighboring Shelbyville supposed to compete?
