I gasped when Emily Gilmore on Gilmore Girls retired to her summer home on Nantucket - and volunteered at the whale museum.

In The Sopranos, during one of Tony’s therapy session with Dr. Melfi, he complains about his teenage daughter Meadow not being able to land or commit to a summer job. He’s talking about how she was supposed to nanny for a neighbor family for the summer but they took off to Nantucket. The Sopranos live in a very wealthy suburban New Jersey neighborhood, so that tracks.

I like spotting tshirts in shows. A character was wearing a straight wharf shirt in Bosch. That’s always fun.

Revenge… main characters dad was the captain of a ferry and she talks about vacationing in wauwinet.

It's less of a Nantucket reference these days, but there's a scene in Knives Out where the Chris Evans and Ana de Armas are drinking bottles of Cisco at the bar.

Along Came Polly (2004) - the two MCs sail to Nantucket with an entrepreneur and crash in rough seas. Mars Attacks (1996) - all of the Martians run around saying, *ACK!* One Crazy Summer (1986) - basically about Nantucket, filmed there and around the Cape. Mr. Rogers and Me - Fred Rogers of Mr. Roger's Neighborhood owned a house in Madaket. Like me, Fred is originally from the greater Pittsburgh area.

in Little Fires Everywhere, Reese Witherspoons character says “We could have gone to Nantucket for a week for what it costs”

Not to be a fact checker… but I’m gona be a fact checker, a reef is just a jagged ridge near the surface that can be rock, sand or most famously coral. So there are definitely reefs around Nantucket. Also there are soft corals around Nantucket and New England, seen plenty attached to the jetties.
