Line 4:
Whenever anyone goes to [[The Big Easy|New Orleans]], it's nearly always during [[Masquerade Ball|Mardi Gras]]. If it isn't actually Mardi Gras, then the [[Denouement]] will occur in a costume/parade storage warehouse. This is probably due to the writers having no sense of geography.
This goes for any city or country with a famous festival; for instance, a large number of episodes set in Mexico take place during ''[[wikipedia:Day of the Dead|Día de Muertos]]'' or ''[[wikipedia:Cinco de Mayo|Cinco de Mayo]]'', a large number of episodes set in [[Toros Y Flamenco|Spain]] take place in Pamplona during the ''[[wikipedia:Festival of San Fermín|Fiesta de San Fermin]]'' (of "the running of the bulls" fame, complete with seemingly obligatory [[Thundering Herd]] of ''toros''), and any episode set in Brazil or Venice wanders into
Logically, you would think this trope would not apply if the characters are visiting a given area specifically to attend its popular festival, but this is often the ''only'' time said area is ever mentioned in fiction, as if people don't have mundane lives in New Orleans.
