We live in a golden age of television so it only makes sense that we also live in a golden age of television conventions—like PaleyFest New York! It's kind of like the New York Comic Con of TV with panel discussions and audience Q&As featuring some of the most bingeable shows, all taking place at The Paley Center for Media. The Festival kicks off apocalyptically on October 11th with the stars of The Walking Dead; Andrew Lincoln, Norman Reedus, and Danai Gurira, along with showrunner Scott Gimple.
Connoisseurs of crime drama far and wide will be flocking to The Wire Reunion on October 16th. The Wire, which captured a cult following in its run from 2002 to 2008, is widely renowned (according to Reddit, anyway) as "the Citizen Kane of television" and "maybe better than Breaking Bad...definitely up there." Any devotees of Girls or True Detective would do well to pay homage to HBO's classics. Slated to appear are Nina Noble, Wendell Pierce, Sonja Sohn, Seth Gilliam, Jim-True Frost, John Doman, Lawrence Gilliard Jr., Jamie Hector, and the show's creator David Simon. If the mean streets of Baltimore aren't your thing, be sure to meet the talent behind television's favorite animated characters. A panel on all things Archer will be held October 12th, featuring the likes of Aisha Tyler, Chris Parnell, and H. John Benjamin. And of course, the Bob's Burgers gang will be in attendance October 15th to serve up secrets on season five.
Also, if Comic-Con is somehow not meeting your quota of superheroic escapades, the DC diehards should catch the cast of Gotham in a panel discussion on the 18th, and the more Marvel-minded can check out the latest on Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. on the 19th. Stay gold, television.
