Some of the most interesting acting, screenwriting, and cinematogrpahy is on television these days.

Not surprisingly, passionate and fun fan communities have formed around shows like "Lost", "24", and "Friday Night Lights".Two years ago, and then again last year, we thought it might be fun to show the whole season of "Lost" at CinemaSalem on the big screen -- for free! And people loved it.

By the series finale, more than 170 people were regularly turning out to enjoy a great show in the best viewing and sound conditions, with their new best friends. Perhaps you saw the articles about it in the Salem News and Art Throb.

So this coming year we're asking our filmloving patrons again what TV shows they'd like to watch on the big screen, and the answers are pouring in.

We can only show programs that air after 9 pm on Monday-Thursday, so check your TV Guide and let us know your selections by stopping by the box office the next time you're in CinemaSalem.

In the next few weeks, we'll announce the 2010-2011 showcase shows for Small Screen on the Big Screen.
