The 5 Best Shows To Watch if You Live In Philadelphia

Living in Philadelphia has it’s many ups and downs. Some up’s we have here are the cheese steaks and the rich history of the city. Some downs we have are the high volume of people in the city at all times and the wonderful Septa always being late. But as true Philadelphians there’s one thing that defines us, the wonderful shows that are based in our wonderful city. Here are five of the best that if you haven’t watched yet, you should.

Boy Meets World

This show follows Cory, a teenage boy learning everything he needs to know about life. The chronicles are about Cory and his friends coming to age together. The show also follows the love interest between Cory and Topanga. This is a great show based in Philadelphia and they even have spinoff, “Girl Meets World”, starring a Philadelphia local Sabrina Carpenter.

How To Get Away With Murder

Shonda Rhimes pulled out all the stops with this show. After the huge successes of Grey’s Anatomy and Scandal, Rhimes came to the game once again with this new thriller. How To Get Away With Murder follows the lawyer/professor Annalise Keating and her law students. I don’t want to give away too many spoilers, but it’s definitely one to watch.

Parking Wars

Parking Wars is a live show filmed in Philadelphia. It follows the Philadelphia Parking Enforcement on their everyday journeys. If you like watching people walk to their car as it’s getting ticketed (more interesting than is sounds at times), I highly suggest Parking Wars.

Cold Case

Cold Case ran from 2003 to 2010, but you can still catch old episodes on TV from time to time. Cold Case was a fictional story about a sector of the Philadelphia Police Department that specialized in Cold Cases. This thriller followed detective Lilly Rush and the multiple partners she had over the course of the show. If you’re into Law & Order or NCIS, I would definitely give Cold Case a look.

It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia


Perhaps the most well known show that is based in the wonderful city of Philadelphia is It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia. This show follows five friends who own a bar together. Dennis, Dee, Mac, Charlie, and Frank all make the show one of the funniest I’ve ever seen. The show it still airing on Comedy Central, but season one to season seven are all on Netflix. I HIGHLY recommend this show, you will not regret it.

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
