QWhat are the lyrics to the theme song?
AIf what doesn't kill us is makin' us stronger,
we're gonna last longer
than that greatest wall in China,
or that rabbit with a drum.
If there's one thing that I've learned
while waiting for my turn,
it's that in each life some rain falls
but you also get some sun.
And we'll make out better than okay,
hear what I say.
Yeah, any day.
(The lyrical version of the theme song was used in Season 9)
QIs Lanford a real or fictional city?
ALanford is indeed a fictional city. All the exterior shots are from locations in Evansville, Indiana.
QWhere is Lanford located?
ATechnically, nowhere. Considering that Lanford is a fictitious city, it really doesn't exist. If you take the information given on the show, it could exist in a number of areas. For example, the real cities of DeKalb and Elgin are often implied to only be an hour or two drive away. It is often implied that it is near Aurora, IL (Home of Wayne and Garth of Wayne's World), which is a real suburb of Chicago (Due west of the city). This would make sense as David and Darlene once made it to Chicago and back in the time they were supposed to be in school. These might give you the idea that Lanford is somewhere around North-Central Illinois.
However, it was stated on a few occasions that they were in Fulton County, IL, which is really more West-Central IL, and is adjacent to Peoria County. That being the case, it is more accurate to consider that the location and other speculation the result of inconsistencies from the writers.
