Xfinity: Philly Loves True Detective

As Comcast gears up for Xfinity’s annual “Watchathon” — hundreds of shows with hundreds of episodes available on-demand, for free, for all cable subscribers from March 31 to April 6 — the company is releasing information about major cities it serves, and the top video-on-demand offerings in each.

Philly’s list shows — dare we say it — that we’re a pretty classy TV watching town. True Detective tops our list, followed by The BlackList, Game of Thrones, and Sleepy Hollow.

That’s right. Duck Dynasty is Pittsburgh second-favorite VOD show. And we don’t even have to love the gays and hate the gay-haters to feel pretty good about leaving that one off our list. All we have to do is watch this trailer…
