But is filmed in Hollywood!
Hardly unique that a show isn’t filed where it’s set.

Though they did film scenes in Philly, so there’s that. Along with a slew of solid Philadelphia references big and small, somewhat like The Goldberg has done periodically. No one cares the external shots of their Hiway theater aren’t the real one. Or that the floral store scenes aren’t the real store. (Though the logo is the real one.)
