There’s been such overwhelming interest in Paley’s Stranger Things event tonight with the cast and the Duffer Brothers that we will be livestreaming it. Tune in around 7:45 ET www.youtube.com/live/ClUJ-9C...

If you read one U.S. president's remembrance of Rob Reiner today...

We are setting the bar very high as we announce the first shows that will be a part of PaleyFest LA 2026: The Pitt, Shrinking and Nobody Wants This www.paleycenter.org/events/paley...

I love the NBCU comms holiday party for many reasons, but this view of the Rockefeller Center tree is always near the top of the list…

This feels like a good time to point out that Apple News+ (either solo or better yet as part of the Apple One bundle) is one of the best deals in media as it gives you access to dozens of amazing publications (including Sam's)

From New York to Newark for my second big event of the day: the annual @montclairfilm.bsky.social fundraiser

This was such a fun event. Thanks to @connorratliff.bsky.social making this an unforgettable afternoon—and to everyone who came out to watch with us. I’m with Connor: I don’t think I’ll be able to watch the Special in full again bc it will never be as enjoyable as it was in that packed theater.

Tomorrow in NYC at the Paley Center: a rare chance to see the notorious Star Wars Holiday Special on a big screen with an audience! Post-screening, a convo between me & Paley Center curator Jason Lynch! 1pm screening! 3pm convo! www.paleycenter.org/events/paley...

Never thought we'd see the day...

If you're looking for something fun to do in NYC on Sunday, join me and @connorratliff.bsky.social as we explain how exactly The Star Wars Holiday Special happened. But first, at 1, see the Holiday Special the way it was (not) meant to be seen: in a packed theater www.paleycenter.org/events/conve...

We are closing 2025 out with a bang: Paley is hosting the cast and creators of Stranger Things on Thursday 12/18. This will definitely sell out before it gets to the public sale next week, so if you aren't already a Paley member, join for a earlier shot at tix www.paleycenter.org/events/paley...

Hope you can join me and @connorratliff.bsky.social at 3 pm on Sunday to talk about The Star Wars Holiday Special—and if you come early, at 1, we'll be screening the Holiday Special in full from the Paley Archive. More info: www.paleycenter.org/events/conve...

I made a few appearances on Good Day New York this morning to talk about our annual PaleyLand holiday extravaganza (now through 1/4), and put in a plug for my Star Wars Holiday Special talk (and screening!) on Sun 12/7 which I hope you can all attend www.paleycenter.org/events/conve...

I was once bullied into watching the Holiday special by Connor, Griffin Newman, and @patrickcotnoir.bsky.social. I had to watch it alone. Getting to see Chewbacca's uncle watch holographic porn should only be experienced in a group setting like this. Especially with "George Lucas" on hand!

It should absolutely be seen at least once by everyone! collider.com/star-wars-ho...

Cannot wait to unwrap The Star Wars Holiday Special with George Lucas Talk Show host @connorratliff.bsky.social on Sunday 12/7 at 3 pm. And be sure to come early, at 1, when we'll screen The Star Wars Holiday Special in full from the Paley Archive. More info: www.paleycenter.org/events/conve...

Cannot wait to get my hands on this @criterion.bsky.social 4K edition of Network in February...

Last night we wrapped another successful PaleyFest NY, featuring incredible conversations with the casts of Pluribus, Landman, Power Book IV: Force and A Man on the Inside. The panels will be going up on Paley's YouTube channel over the next several days

We had some truly incredible panels at PaleyFest NY over the past week (it wraps on Sunday with Man on the Inside). If you missed out, we'll be putting the full panels up on YouTube, starting with our sensational opener, Pluribus, moderated by @sepinwall.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=kFrf...

Still marveling at the brilliant maneuver Vince Gilligan pulled last night to exit Paley without anyone spotting him—and can’t believe no one else had ever thought of it before.

The Rockefeller Center tree has arrived

PaleyFest NY kicked off with a bang as @sepinwall.bsky.social moderated a fantastic Pluribus panel, and as a post-panel bonus, Vince and Rhea channeled Johnny and Ed on our (actual) Tonight Show set

I'll be moderating tonight's Pluribus discussion, so if you were lucky enough to already have tickets, say hi!

After a delay as our theaters were renovated, PaleyFest NY kicks off tonight with the show everyone is talking (and raving) about today: Pluribus. Tonight’s show is sold out but there are still tickets for some of the others www.paleycenter.org/events/paley...

After many months of renovations, Paley reopened our two theaters tonight. Look at these beauties!

If you're in NYC this afternoon and looking for a fun way to prep for Halloween...

This is just two days away — hope you can join me at the Paley Museum to revisit classics like The Twilight Zone, The X-Files, Twin Peaks, Buffy and many more!

Today I have reached the infamous @brimleyline.bsky.social (ie the Brimley/Cocoon line): I am the exact same age that Wilford Brimley was on the day Cocoon opened in theaters

I couldn’t visit Georgetown without checking out the famous Exorcist steps

Boo! Just in time for Halloween, join me at the Paley Museum on 10/30 as I revisit some of TV’s all-time scariest episodes, featuring classic shows like The Twilight Zone, The X-Files, Twin Peaks, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Tales from the Crypt and Stranger Things www.paleycenter.org/events/conve...

We just announced our PaleyFest NY lineup, which includes Man on the Inside, Landman and Pluribus www.paleycenter.org/events/paley...

Very much looking forward to my colleague Allison's Conversation with a Cuator talk this Friday about the 40th anniversary of The Golden Girls. Featuring rare interviews from the Paley Archive with Betty White and Rue McClanahan! www.paleycenter.org/events/conve...

Woohoo! Cannot wait for this! (Also, just days ago, I finally had the BSG Last Supper print below hung in my Paley office.)

You just know season 2 of The Pitt will include a scene where Dr. Robby says fuck it and orders a Hep B vaccine for a newborn anyway

I’ve seen hundreds of dumb media decisions in my career (especially in the past few years) but this puts them all to shame. To jettison the industry’s most indispensable TV critic—and the only reason many people still read RS—is outrageously stupid and short-sighted.

Hey LA: I'll be bringing my recent Paley Conversation with a Curator talk, TV Goes to College, to the Beverly Hills Library on Thursday. Stop by hear me talk about A Different World, Felicity, Community and many more! www.paleycenter.org/events/paley...

RIP to Robert Redford. Deservedly praised for his role in shaping/saving/elevating independent film, but more recently he helped get AMC's excellent Dark Winds on the air (and his S3 premiere cameo earlier this year turned out to be his last on-camera appearance) www.nytimes.com/2025/09/16/m...

More tomorrow, but now might be a very good time to consider subscribing to What’s Alan Watching? alansepinwall.ghost.io

I hope someone tallies how much time in total was wasted on this Cursed Bit

Will see a clip from any of the nominated shows or performances before the ceremony ends?

That #GilmoreGirls bit was sharp and fun fact-filled. More of that. #Emmys

Andor should be winning all the Emmys but I’ll settle for this one

It’s spreading to other categories, too!

Other than a bit of The Golden Girls, I don’t think tonight’s show about TV has shown any actual clips from TV shows. That’s a problem!

Awkward.

So what happens when that live countdown gets to a negative number? The Boys & Girls Club has to pay THEM? Please make this stop.
