Warner Bros. Television Out Of The Box Exhibit

Today was definitely $8 well spent - and I wore a Michigan State shirt, so I got the student price. Today I checked out the new Warner Bros. exhibit at the Paley Center for Media as part of their "Television Out Of The Box" program.  This interactive multimedia museum exhibit celebrates almost 60 years of iconic programming with props, costumes, original animation art, patent filings, and more from over sixty series.

I was able to get some great pictures of the exhibits they have there, and below you will find a few of the ones from my favorite shows! Check out the photos below. And don't wait too long, because the exhibit only lasts until 2015, and they will be routinely rotating in new items from the Warner Bros.' collection. That means multiple trips for us TV geeks!
