If you're a fan of Rod Serling, The Twilight Zone or just TV in general, you are definitely going to want to read this terrific book

Very important for The Pitt viewers:

Fine, first *TV* project they worked on together (aside from that Picket Fences cameo)

Doing my final prep for this talk, which is on Thursday and will include a few highlights from last weekend's Scrubs PaleyFest LA panel—and clips from a WILD revival that I'd somehow never seen until now. If you're in NYC on Thursday, I hope you can stop by! www.paleycenter.org/events/conve...

I was a huge fan of this first season, which is packed with incredible performances from all of its leads. Not sure why it took real-life spouses David E. Kelley and Michelle Pfeiffer so many decades to make something together, but it was worth the wait.

After the talk, Morgan told me Lorne’s sons had seen the doc a couple weeks ago and really enjoyed it; he thinks they were the big reason Lorne himself agreed to see it.

My fellow Paley curator Ron Simon did a great curator conversation with Morgan Neville about his Lorne Michaels doc that comes out next week. Lorne famously doesn’t read/watch any projects he participates in but was a surprise attendee at last night’s premiere—and told Morgan he liked the film.

One week from today, I'll be talking about the history of TV revivals, including a few you probably forgot about, with plenty of clips from the shows themselves, as well as several Paley events from over the years. Hope you can make it!

A phrase I’ve never heard while traveling until today: “This is a very light flight…”
