So I went up to see Dexter night at this years Paley Fest. For those of you who don't know the Paley is LA's museum for television and every year they put together a panel with the cast and crew of various TV shows. This year they featured such shows as Lost, NCIS, and of course Dexter(my favorite TV show).
They hold this at the Saban theater which is in Beverly Hills. A wonderful place to go see something like this but a little on the large side. If you ask me a little more intimacy would have improved the evening but then they'd be turning away people who wanted to go and check it out. Some of these like the Lost night have sold out completely.
The night started off with an episode of Dexter. I've never seen a TV show on a big screen before and it was a rather unique experience. It made it even more unique seeing the show with a large crowd cheering on the characters. The episode we watched was “Hungry Man” from the fourth season. A great episode if you haven't seen it.
Then the entire cast comes out and sits on the stage right in front of you (John Lithgow wasn't present). They also had several of the executive producers of the show on stage and the writers were also on hand but out in the audience. The panel had something of a moderator that asked them questions. A lot of the questions were about the choices they made concerning the character Rita at the end of the fourth season. Then there were a lot of questions about the future of the show. However, they couldn't say much about it because they wouldn't want to ruin any surprises. After that the audience was aloud to ask anything they wanted.
I had a fun night overall and would highly recommend it to anybody that's a fan of TV and lives in the LA area. For more info go to http://www.paleycenter.org/paleyfest2010/ They still have upcoming events through March like Breaking Bad, Glee and Curb Your Enthusiasm.
