The Paley Center website featuring the 2009 "Lost Saturday" event

The Paley Center for Media is an organization dedicated to discussion of various cultural phenomena of mass media. It was formerly known as The Museum of Television and Radio (MT&R) and The Museum of Broadcasting.

The Paley Center has been host to three Lost-related events:

  • January 19, 2009 - "The Paley Center Lost Saturday" [1] has two parts. The first part of the event, from 2-4 pm, is a watching of "Walkabout" and "Through the Looking Glass", the two episodes chosen as favorites in the center's online poll [2]. The second part, from 4-6pm, is a 30 minute preview of the premiere episode of Season 5 , followed by a discussion with a panel of experts consisting of: Daniel Manu, site director of Television Without Pity; James Poniewozik, television Critic of TIME; and Christopher Rosen, blogger for The New York Observer; moderated by Josh Wolk, Senior Editor of Entertainment Weekly. Concurrently in 2009, the Paley Center also hosts free Lost Marathon Screenings between January 8 and February 1, 2009 at its Steven Spielberg Gallery. The marathon consists of a continuous screening of episodes from seasons 1 through 4, accompanied by art from Entertainment Weekly, behind-the-scenes interviews from Jeff Jensen, and video from their past event, "Lost at PaleyFest 2005."

Steeped in an exhilarating blend of familiar genre tropes and brain-twisting plots, and stamped with the unmistakable verve of cocreator J.J. Abrams, this ingenious and incredibly entertaining nod to television's past (The Twilight Zone) and present (Survivor) follows forty-odd strandees as they struggle for survival on a mysterious isle rife with polar bears, Lord of the Flies-style intrigue, and one extremely inhospitable monster. In Person: J.J. Abrams (Creator/Executive Producer/Writer/ Director), Naveen Andrews ("Sayid"), Bryan Burk (Executive Producer), Carlton Cuse (Showrunner), Emilie de Ravin ("Claire"), Matthew Fox ("Jack"), Jorge Garcia ("Hurley"), Maggie Grace ("Shannon"), Josh Holloway ("Sawyer"), Malcolm David Kelley ("Walt"), Daniel Dae Kim ("Jin"), Yunjin Kim ("Sun"), Evangeline Lilly ("Kate"), Damon Lindelof (Cocreator/Executive Producer), Dominic Monaghan ("Charlie"), Terry O'Quinn ("Locke"), Harold Perrineau ("Michael"), Ian Somerhalder ("Boone")."
