Paley Center Premiere Week 2008; Which Series Are You Dying to See... Or Can't Wait to Be Canned?
Once again, the Paley Center for Media is offering a week-long series of screenings of new and returning series this year. The premiere episode screening series, kicking off in Los Angeles on September 5th (and in New York on September 4th), will feature network-oriented screening nights and small panel discussions.
The schedule for the Beverly Hills-based location of the Paley Center is as follows:
Friday, Sept. 5th: Fringe, Do Not Disturb (FOX)
Saturday, Sept. 6th: Privileged, 90210 (CW)
Monday, Sept. 8th: My Own Worst Enemy, Kath & Kim, Crusoe, Knight Rider (NBC)
Tuesday, Sept. 9th: Gary Unmarried, The Ex List, Worst Week, The Mentalist (CBS)
Wednesday, Sept. 10th: Pushing Daisies, Private Practice, Eli Stone, Life on Mars preview (ABC)
While I've already seen nearly all of those above (though I'd be kidding if I said I wasn't salivating over the Pushing Daisies premiere), I probably won't be rushing to the Paley more than once for what promises to be a SRO event (though the CW's 90210 will have already aired by then so it might be a little less crazy).
Which leads me to my question: which of the above new and returning series are you most anxious to see? Who is already hotly anticipating FOX's Fringe? Who is curious to see Christian Slater in NBC's My Own Worst Enemy? And which of these new series do you think will be canceled by Christmas? Discuss.
