The critically-acclaimed series "Everybody Hates Chris" is not only one of the most talked about new shows but has also garnered several award accolades including a Golden Globe Award, Writers Guild Award and five NAACP Image Awards, among others.

Inspired by his childhood experiences, Rock narrates the hilarious, touching story of a teenager growing up as the eldest of three children in Brooklyn, New York during the early 1980's. Uprooted to a new neighborhood and bused to a predominantly white middle school two-hours away by his strict, hard-working parents, Chris struggles to find his place while keeping his siblings in line at home and surmounting the challenges of junior high. This responsible, resilient adolescent brings a distinct, funny spin to his everyday trials and traumas.

This Festival, named for William S. Paley, founder of both the Museum and CBS, celebrates television's rich and diverse programming and the creative process behind it. Paley Festival panels are recorded and are available for viewing at the Museum. For more information about the festival, please go to www.mtr.org.
