And so, it appears, a CBS drama set in Pittsburgh has gone off the air. Read more about that here.
Did Three Rivers ever really have a shot? The author of the article I linked to doesn’t seem to think so. I must admit, I never saw it. This begs the question, would Three Rivers remain on the air today if a few of its scenes had been shot at Franktuary? I can personally guarantee that the show would have had at least one additional viewer!
Unlike Three Rivers the drama, the city of Pittsburgh is still going strong. Franktuary is back to its regularly scheduled programming after a brief holiday interruption. Your Locavore is waiting.
Bummer. I liked that show, especially because it gave me weekly glimpses of Pittsburgh from all the way in Arizona. Maybe their Series Finale should feature Franktuary so they can go out with a bang!
I saw the pilot. Pretty run of the mill stuff. Made the city look all shiny and pretty. I think that was its mistake. Most of the the successful Pittsburgh shows make the city look all rough and gritty. We know the truth, but Hollywood doesn't come here for shiny and new. It comes here for all that rust and grit we're known for.
