Wasn't the point of the show taking place in Scranton is that it's such a shitty generic american city full of chain stores and restaurants it could be mistaken for any other place?
I used to hate it because of the art style but then I watched the Bass Festival episode and the part where the dam cracks had me losing my shit. Ever since then I was able to appreciate it more.
It doesn't work though because Scranton isn't actually a generic american city full of chain stores. It's an old city that peaked 100 years ago, so it was built in a chain-unfriendly way (corporate chains HATE anything that isn't a uniform farm field they can just plop down on) and was a declining market when chains started getting big.
Somewhere like Des Moines or going the route like Parks and Rec being in an unamed city in Indiana would have been a better "generic american city" choice. Even then, there's really no such thing as a "generic American city". They all have local flavor of some sort.
But also, there's the thing that people say about how Game of Thrones was the last collective entertainment experience, I feel like it's more fractured now, people find their own things to watch.

Yeah totally. Now excuse me while I alternate between watching The Sopranos for the eighth time and random seasons 1-8 episodes of The Simpsons.
