This is one of the simplest ways of naming a work of fiction. Like [[Character Title]], where the story is named after the main character in the story, [['''The Place]]''' is where the main location is used as the title. [['''The Place]]''' need not be where most of the action is set, it is sufficient for it to be important to the plot. If we don't know that the title is a place until near the end, then this place is [[The Namesake]].

Line 112:
* ''[[21 Jump Street]]''
* ''[[30 Rock|Thirty Rock]]''
* ''[[Babylon 5]]''. It even includes the phrase "the place" right in the [[Opening Narration]]: "The year is 2260. [[The Place]]: Babylon FIVE."
* ''[[Beverly Hills, 90210]]''
* ''[[Boston Legal]]''
Line 159:
* ''[[Stargate Atlantis]]''
* ''[[Star Trek: Deep Space Nine]]''
** [[Star Trek: Voyager]] and [[Star Trek: Enterprise]] also count, albeit loosely since [[The Place]] in question isn't always in the same... uh... place.
* ''[[St Elsewhere]]''
* ''[[Studio 60 On the Sunset Strip]]''
