At the 21st Annual Television Festival

During the month of March THE MUSEUM OF TELEVISION AND RADIO presented their annual Television Festival at the Directors Guild on Sunset Boulevard in West Hollywood.

The WILLIAM S. PALEY TELEVISION FESTIVAL sells out each year as fans are treated to an episode of the show featured and get a chance to hear the stars and executive producers and directors talk about the show. And they even get to ask the panel questions about their favorite show.

This year the festival presented: CREATING CHARACTERS with J. J. Abrams (creator of FELICITY and ALIAS), along with Keri Russell (Felicity Porter) and Jennifer Garner (Sydney Bristow); TRADING PLACES; An Evening with Angela Lansbury; JOAN OF ARCADIA with the cast and producers; THE O.C. cast; An Evening with William Shatner; ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT cast and producers; A Salute to Sherwood Schwartz with cast members from GILLIGAN'S ISLAND and THE BRADY BUNCH; THE WIRE cast and producers; SMALLVILLE cast and producers and CARNIVALE cast and producers.

With all the premiere and events that happened this month, I landed up only covering two of the events CREATING CHARACTERS and SMALLVILLE. You can find out more about the festival and the Museum's upcoming events at www.mtr.org.
