An Evening with Roseanne and a Special Preview of Alex, Inc. with Zach Braff

Monday, March 26, 2018

Time: 7:00pm

When it premiered on ABC, Roseanne broke new ground for its realistic portrayal of a working-class family, the Conners, barely scraping by in the fictional town of Lanford, Illinois. It also dominated the ratings as one of the highest-rated television series on the air for its near-decade run. The Paley Center will premiere the first episode of the show's much buzzed about new season followed by a discussion with the original and returning cast including: Roseanne Barr ("Roseanne Conner"),John Goodman ("Dan Conner"), Sara Gilbert ("Darlene Conner"), Michael Fishman (D.J. Conner"), Lecy Goranson ("Becky Conner"), and Sarah Chalke("Andrea").

Immediately following the discussion, the Paley Center will present a special preview of the new ABC comedy Alex, Inc. starring Emmy Award-nominated actor Zach Braff ("Alex Schuman"). Braff will join former Scrubs co-star Sarah Chalke for a conversation on the series, which is loosely based on radio journalist Alex Blumberg's popular podcast StartUp.

Homicide: Life on the Street: A Reunion

Thursday, May 24, 2018

Time: 6:30 pm

Running for seven seasons on NBC, Homicide: Life on the Street was a critically revered cop drama that won an unprecedented three Peabody Awards and an intensely passionate fan base, as it artfully limned an emotionally fraught band of brothers (and sisters). Based on David Simon's nonfiction book Homicide: A Year on the Killing Streets, the series followed homicide detectives adrift in inner-city Baltimore. Along with NYPD Blue and Law & Order, it defined the sophisticated police drama for the nineties, but distinguished itself with fearless formal innovation and a predilection for excavating the doubts and vulnerabilities simmering beneath the surface of its characters. The Paley Center will reunite key members of the cast and creative team of one of the most influential and acclaimed dramas in television history including: Richard Belzer ("John Munch"); Andre Braugher ("Frank Pembleton"); Anya Epstein, Writer; Tom Fontana, Creator and Writer; Clark Johnson ("Meldrick Lewis"); Barry Levinson, Executive Producer; Julie Martin, Writer; and David Simon, Writer.

"I'm thrilled to reunite with the team from Homicide: Life on the Street at The Paley Center for Media," said Tom Fontana who served as the show's EP and writer. "The Paley Center continues to lead the conversation on television's impact on our culture and I look forward to lending my voice to this crucial conversation."
