My favorite TV show is Supernatural. It is about two brothers that travel all around the country saving people and hunting the things that go bump in the night. It's setting is unique in that it is a road show. They do have a bunker that serves a base of operations and home of sorts but it is not the setting of the show.
Having a setting that changes from episode to episode means that there can be new elements constantly introduced. One week they might be in the woods of Minnesota and the next they find themselves in LA or St. Louis. The variety of supporting characters that this brings to the series keeps things interesting and in my opinion has contributed to the show going on now for 13 years with no end really in sight.
The shift in setting also means a change in scenery from show to show. There is no getting bored with the same set time after time. The small towns that most episodes take place in all have their own feel to them which speaks highly of whoever is putting those scenes together. The feel you get is that the show takes place in wherever you could drive to in a day or two.
