Paley Center to Preview Life Season 2 Premiere
It’s about time the NBC PR machine started cracking and they seemed to be doing it by sending its shows to as much special screenings as possible, Life included. Unlike The CW’s dubious move to hold back special screenings for 90210 NBC has included Life in the NYTVF Premiere Week and recently, Paley Center and TV Guide’s Fall Preview Party where new and returning shows are screened for public consumption.
Admission is free but registering in advance is a must.
