Last summer and into the fall, actor Jason Segel was spotted EVERYWHERE around Philly as he was here filming his new show for AMC called 'Dispatches From Elsewhere.' I even had my own sighting one evening at dinner at Talula's Garden in Washington Square. Sally Field, Andre 3000 & Eve Lindley also star in the show...and along with the show's director and producers, they've put together a video "love letter" to our fine city.
I didn't realize just how prominent Philadelphia was going to be in the show - but the video love letter makes it very clear that the city isn't just some nondescript location for a story to unfold, it plays a very prominent role in the plot.
It warmed my cold, black heart to hear all the great things they had to say about Philly, particularly about the art/murals/street art.
Now I'm extra excited to watch - the show premieres THIS Sunday night on AMC at 10pm, with a second episode airing on Monday night....new episodes will regularly roll out on Mondays in the coming weeks.
