PaleyWatch: Details About the 2008 Lineup Emerge

The PR machine is in overdrive for the 2008 William S. Paley Television Festival, the fest's 25th anniversary installment, which moves its location this year from its cramped quarters at the DGA to the Cinerama Dome at the Arclight. (Wahoo!)

While the festival's organizers are being pretty coy about the full lineup and schedule this year, what with teasing us about a Buffy the Vampire Slayer reunion, they have quietly nailed down some dates for some of the panels:

March 14th: Elvis '68 Comeback Special (Opening Night Selection)

March 15th: Pushing Daisies

March 17th: The Comedy World of Judd Apatow & Friends

March 18th: Chuck

March 20th: Buffy the Vampire Slayer Reunion

March 21st: Dancing with the Stars

March 25th: Dirty Sexy Money

March 27th: Mad Men (Closing Night Selection)

The full lineup and schedule, including the date for the previously announced panel for Gossip Girl, is slated to be revealed on February 4th.

Individual tickets for members of the Paley Center for Media go on sale on February 7th, while Joe Public can buy tickets beginning on February 10th.

Me, I'm already trying to figure out how much a hit my wallet can take in order to determine just how many of these events I can attend.
