As scene in Philadelphia

SOME other shows that have been set in Philadelphia (though mostly not filmed here), and how they fared:

* "Do No Harm," 2012-13. NBC canceled this Jekyll-and-Hyde medical show, the first network series to be filmed entirely in and around Philadelphia since CBS' "Hack," after only two episodes, though it's been burning off the remaining episodes - 13 were produced - on Saturdays this summer.

* "The Class," 2006-07. Bala Cynwyd's David Crane ("Friends") and Jeffrey Klarik set this CBS comedy about the grown members of a third-grade class in this area. It ran for 19 episodes and didn't make it to a second season.

* "Cold Case," 2003-10. This CBS police drama, created by Penn grad Meredith Stiehm ("The Bridge"), starred Kathyrn Morris as a Philadelphia homicide detective. Though mostly filmed on the West Coast, it did bring cast members in periodically to film on location in the city. Its seven-season, 156-episode run makes it an outlier among Philly-set shows.

* "Hack," 2002-04. Philadelphia's David Morse starred as a disgraced cop-turned-cabdriver in this CBS drama, the first network series ever to be filmed entirely in Philadelphia. It ran for 40 episodes over two seasons.

* "American Dreams," 2002-05. This '60s-set musical drama, centered on a young dancer on Dick Clark's "American Bandstand" and her friends and family, ran for three seasons and 61 episodes. What the audience never saw: The Hollywood sign, visible from the show's "Philadelphia street" set.

* "Philly," 2001-02. Roxborough's Kim Delaney played a lawyer in this Steven Bochco series that was largely filmed on the West Coast but did include scenes shot here. Canceled by ABC after its first 22-episode season.

* "Ryan Caulfield: Year One," 1999. This Fox drama about a rookie cop (Sean Maher) in Philadelphia was at one point going to be called "The Badland," after the section of Philly sometimes referred to as the Badlands. Then-Police Commissioner John Timoney complained, calling the title "demeaning, racist . . . and negative." In the end, it didn't matter what they called it: It was canceled after two episodes.

* "Dads," 1986-87. Not to be confused with the new Fox sitcom of the same name, this ABC comedy starred Barry Bostwick and Carl Weintraub as single fathers sharing a house here. Ran for nine episodes.

* "Amen," 1986-91. Philadelphia's Sherman Hemsley starred as a deacon in a Philadelphia church in this NBC comedy, which ran for five seasons and 110 episodes.

* "thirtysomething," 1987-91. This drama about baby boomers in their 30s became a cultural touchstone, won a bunch of Emmys - including outstanding drama in 1988 - and was canceled after four seasons and 85 episodes. Marshall Herskovitz, who created it with Ed Zwick, grew up in Bala Cynwyd.

* "Angie," 1979-80. Donna Pescow starred as a waitress who falls for a rich doctor (Robert Hays) in this ABC comedy, which ran for 36 episodes before being canceled in its second season.

* "The Tony Randall Show," 1976-78. Randall played a Philadelphia judge in this sitcom, whose first season aired on ABC and whose second was on CBS, for a total of 44 episodes.
