Some of the TV shows that became national originated as local shows:

Starcade (WTBS-Atlanta) 1982-83
Morton Downey Jr. Show (WWOR-Secaucus, NJ) 1987-88
Mystery Science Theater 3000 (KTMA-Minneapolis) 1988-89

Yeah, they were hokey as far as set design and appeal, but they had that local flavor that made 'em worth watching.
