NCIS: Cast & Creators Live at PALEYFEST



It's tough to be objective
I'm not certain that I can critique this video objectively because I was fortunate enough to attend this PaleyFest event, but I will try. Thank you, Paley Center, for making this video available.

Without being obnoxious about attending the event, I'll try to give an honest overview of what it was like in person. The event began with an introduction about Paley Center and its role in preserving television history. Without any set-up of what would be shown other than an example of the films maintained in the Paley Center archive, a film clip began. The large screen over the stage filled with the image of a 30-something David McCallum, and the audience was generous with its applause and cheers. The clip was a scene from "The Pop Art Affair", an episode of "The Man From U.N.C.L.E." Set in a coffee shop, a girl named Sylvia chatted with and sketched Illya and his "Dostoyevsky eyes". That brief scene gave the event a nice spark of excitement. After the...

great event!
I was at this event and have been hoping for several years for this to be released on DVD.

When my order arrived, I couldn't wait to check it out, to see if it was as I remembered the event.

This is fantastic--great close ups, fantastic audio, and the spirit of the event is well represented. Great to see cast and crew (sadly minus Pauley Perrette, who was away on a photo shoot) interacting and giving tidbits.

What a great bunch of people!
This is a superb ensemble of actors who have a genuine affection for each other and are devoted to making NCIS what it is today. They approach everything with a sense of humor. Just delightful!
