The Hudson Valley is a desirable location for all ages. Visitors enjoy the endless amounts of amenities during each season.

Hudson Valley residents have access to the natural beauty that surrounds us along with exploring locally owned businesses, learning at historical sites and more.

Our area has been visited by celebrities, mentioned on TV shows and movies. Over the past couple of years, it's known to be the hotspot for casting calls and film production locations.

I get excited when I hear TV shows or movies mention any towns within New York state, especially in the Hudson Valley. Some of our favorite TV shows including The King of Queens, Everybody Loves Raymond, Friends and Seinfeld have shown love to New York state in several episodes.

This King Of Queens Episode Roasts A Dutchess County, NY City

King of Queens has been one of my favorite shows, it's something that I still watch because it makes me laugh. This TV show featured Leah Remini as Carrie and Kevin James as Doug Heffernan along with Carrie's father in the show, Arthur who was played by Jerry Stiller.

Each King of Queens episode is hilarious and highlights their life, friends and experiences. In the show, Doug's occupation is a delivery driver while Carrie's role is a legal secretary.

In several episodes, Doug and Carrie mention that they escape Queens, NY and visit the upstate area. During the episode of China Syndrome including Part 1 and Part 2, Doug mentions a Hudson Valley town and city.

In the China Syndrome episode, Doug goes outside of a wedding venue that they are attending after the two of them were fighting throughout the night.

Carrie finds Doug outside and questions him of where he has been. Doug's response is 

"Just enjoying the smells of Poughkeepsie" 

This popular TV show also mentions Bear Mountain, NY in another episode.
