Warner Bros. Television, in association with the Paley Center For Media, has created an interactive multimedia exhibition called Television Out Of The Box.
Open for the next 3 years, the museum in Beverly Hills, California, covers some of the best known TV shows from the past 6 decades. Sets, props, costumes and much more from shows like Friends, ER, Smallville, The Big Bang Theory and Fringe have been put on display to the public.
And the reason for mentioning it here on KM UK? Cold Case is one of the many shows made by Warner Bros. Televsion.
Cold Case is briefly mentioned on the Paley Center website but no detail is given about what, if anything, from the show might there. It is planned that the content of the exhibition will be changed regularly.
You can find more details, including opening times and ticket prices, on the WB Exhibit page of the Paley Center website.
If you get a chance to visit the museum please let us know what it was like.
What from Cold Case would you like to see at the exhibition? Lilly’s hair extensions? Nick’s cut necktie? Scotty’s bruised knuckles? Will’s record collection? John’s age-jumping daughter? Leave your suggestions in the comments below.
Update (15 Apr 2012): I found an article on the Examiner.com website by Danielle Turchiano (LA TV Insider @ Examiner) about the exhibition. You can read the article in full HERE. The piece has a slideshow of photos taken by Danielle, which includes a shot of Lilly’s badge and ID card.
Very generously Danielle has allowed me to post a large copy of the photo (seen on the left) here on KM UK. You can find it in the Gallery (in a new Miscellaneous – Exhibitions section).
Danielle also let me know that Lilly’s pistol in its holster is part of the display. From the photo I think you can also see the edge of a bit of cold case paper work and the top of a mobilephone. Lilly went through a variety of cellphones (to use the American vernacular) during Cold Case’s run but the blue one in the photo looks like an early season 7 model seen in episodes like Hoodrats. Lilly was receiving worrying cryptic messages and photos which turned out to be from Eddie.
Well, I think it would be really cool to see the badges.
Seriously, I’ve always loved the way they showed it. “I’m Detective Lilly Rush and he’s my partner, Scotty Valens.” How I miss it!
It would be much better if they bring the show back, but, as it will not happen ..
You’re in luck Karen. See the update above.
AWWWWN! HAHA
I loved it 😉
Well, now I’m just dead. DEAD. I’ll travel to the Paley Center one way or another.
I think I know where I’m going on my next vacation…
Is it there for three years?
Then I ask my dad to travel to Beverly Hills too.
Next year we go to California and Las Vegas and all the big city’s in California, because I want to go to LA.
Yes, 3 years.
Have fun on your vacation. Let us know how it goes.
You hear it next year at the end of my vacation 😉
