Where?

Didn't see he was one of the panelists.
-
don't mess up Heroes. just sayin.
-
if you're a fan of Jericho, Nip/Tuck and the Closer, you are probably fairly slow, mentally speaking, and could not follow a panel discussion very well.
-
Is it the whole cast? Or just some of them?
-
are you talking about Silence of the Lambs? I'm confused.
-
I was joking, because the trick of which house is which sounded like the Silence of the Lambs
-
is Perry White.
-
Is this going to be where he's going to describe in detail how he, personally, will make the first season of the "Star Wars" TV series a tour de force on a par with, say... "Manos: the Hands of Fate" or "Knight Rider 2000?"
-
Seriously, is anyone rushing to get Jericho tickets?
-
without leaving the room. My wife watches it and I usually start watching it, get angry with how horrible it is, and leave the room. The last episode was just pretty bad, rather than the usual offensively bad. At least there was a dangling corpse in the last episode.
-
I love me some Karen from The Office! Too bad I live on the fucking East coast, hopefully they'll release the panel discussion on DVD.
-
Oh, wait, no he doesn't.

As above.

New York artists sue NBC over "Heroes" concept Sat Mar 17, 12:07 AM ET
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Two artists sued NBC Universal and the creators of the network's superhero drama "Heroes" in U.S. district court this week, claiming their work had been wrongfully copied on the television show.
ADVERTISEMENT
New York-based artists Clifton Mallery and his wife Amnau Karam Eele charged in a suit filed on Thursday in Manhattan that "Heroes" creators based their plot line -- about an artist who can paint the future -- on a short story, a painting series and a short film the couple exhibited in 2004 and 2005.
A spokesman for NBC, a unit of General Electric Co., said in a statement the network believes the suit is without merit. "We intend to defend it vigorously and expect to prevail."
The artists said in the lawsuit that two people who identified themselves as writers from NBC's "Crossing Jordan," which also developed by "Heroes" creator and executive producer Tim Kring, attended an April 2005 exhibition of their work at Hunter College in New York City. The two were believed to have taken copies of the couple's work, the lawsuit said.
The artists said their work focused on an artist who paints the future and who specifically paints the destruction of two landmark buildings in New York City. They alleged this was "strikingly similar" to the character of Isaac Mendez on "Heroes," whose paintings of the future depict an explosion in New York City.
"Heroes," a serial thriller about a group of ordinary people who discover they have special abilities, has been credited with helping to boost NBC's ratings this season.
