A number of TV shows have taken place in Pittsburgh over the years. There was Mr. Belvedere in the 80s, My So-Called Life in the 90s, Queer as Folk in the aughts, and most recently This is Us. And while Milo Ventimiglia’s and Mandy Moore’s Pearson family proudly represented the Black & Gold, a new drama could probably be considered the most Steelers-centric show of them all. It’s the BET+ original series Average Joe.
Average Joe stars Deon Cole as Joe Washington, a diehard Steelers fan who works as a plumber in Pittsburgh, specifically in Highland Park.
