Paley Center Visit

Before I head home for Year 4 of my Entertainment Camp, I decided to take a day to check out the Paley Center in Beverly Hills, CA.  The Paley Center is an institution dedicated to the discussion of cultural, creative, and social significance of television   Right now, they are hosting a special exhibit from Warner Brothers that celebrates the "Best Of" WB Television & Entertainment.

I am SO glad that I was able to experience this exhibit!  I had the unique opportunity to see props from some of my FAVORITE TV shows, like "The Big Bang Theory".  I was also able to see rare set pieces from shows like "The West Wing", "Friends", and "Seinfeld".  There was also a room dedicated to displaying costumes from some of the most memorable TV scenes of all time.  As an added treat, there were also animated film cells from Warner Brothers cartoons, like "Animaniacs", "The Jetsons", "The Flintstones", and "Tiny Toons".  It was SO COOL!  It was a  big trip down memory lane as I re-lived some of my favorite television shows that I used to watch as a child.

Check out some of the awesome pictures I took of these glorious exhibits!
