I live in New England so have probably seen more of the Maine shows (and now NH on North Woods Law) than the Texas and Montana shows. However, I don't notice a lot of differences in the shows from one state to another. It seems like the jerks are pretty well spread out across the country. Occasionally, there are very interesting episodes. NWL a few years ago showed the springtime efforts to recover the bodies of some snowmobilers who went through the ice a couple months earlier. It was interesting and very respectfully done.
