Public Television Panel in L.A.

A final reminder: I'll be on an American Cinema Foundation panel this weekend debating just why it is we even have taxpayer-financed television in this country.

Details -- Saturday, 8 p.m. at the American Film Institute, moderated by occasional Reason contributor Cathy Seipp; other panelists include The Hollywood Reporter's Ray Richmond and Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory director Mel Stuart. Admission is free, seating is limited, RSVPs are a must, and more information (including on the other panels) here.
