These screenings are always great -- they've been doing them for several years -- but I think it will be better if you know in advance what to expect instead of getting there and being disappointed, Teacherdarling. The "surprise guests" are the network executives -- The Suits! -- who come and present the shows. Not glamorous, but they are the Powers That Be, in the sulfurous flesh! ;)

The party is very casual. Usually a liquor company sponsors fancy drinks, like mojitos, and the food is pretty much chips, dips, and sometimes some Chinese noodles or egg rolls or such. There are 3 viewing areas: a traditional auditorium with a small theatre-sized screen; lobby, with food and large TV monitors; and the rooftop patio, with large TV monitors, gas heaters, terribly uncomfortable modern-style loveseats and ottomans and food and bar. A good time is had by all!

thanks Swanland, that sounds like fun, My son and I reserved seats for NBC too so I am ultra excited to see the premiere of Bionic Woman and Chuck, and it will be great to see our favorite actors in their new shows :) and we can still yell out their names and the "suits" will know who we think the talent is LOL

My only regret is that I planned my trip to LA next month around the Emmies. Should have set it a week before, darn it, but this shindig should help the buzz for the new shows.
