The show was actually entirely filmed in several Northern New Jersey locations: originally, the school scenes were shot in Bayonne and the neighborhood scenes in South Orange, and Leonia. For the third season, production moved to Cranford. If looked at closely enough, many aspects reveal the Northern New Jersey setting, for example the Star Ledger newspaper can be seen advertised in various scenes around the town, in addition several NJ Transit buses can be seen in various shots as well as New Jersey state license plates on vehicles. Also throughout the show characters mention names of various New Jersey regions and towns. Pete's math teacher talks about a town called Lodi in a word problem an obvious reference to real life town Lodi, NJ; in addition, Pete's father talks of going on a road trip to Cumberland, another real life reference to Cumberland County, NJ while Pete's father's station wagon has New Jersey plates in the first season.
