Staying In

Are you a TV fan with some extra dough lying around?

The Academy of Television Arts & Sciences Foundation is auctioning off set visits, props, signed memorabilia and more from many popular TV shows.

Some of the highlights from among the auction items:

• Front Row Seats to the 61st Primetime Emmys Red Carpet
• Table Reading for Two with Family Guy Cast
• Set Visit for Two to Medium with Patricia Arquette
• Exclusive Set Visit for Two to Melrose Place in LA
• 2 Tickets to So You Think You Can Dance Season 6 Finale

• Hugh Laurie Signed Custom Flame Cane from House (already at a staggering $1,150)

The 2nd Annual Emmy Season online auction help benefits the Television Academy Foundation, whose “educational and preservation programs include its acclaimed student internship program, the College TV Awards providing recognition and industry exposure for exceptional television and film students from across the U.S. , the Fred Rogers Memorial Scholarship, and the Archive of American Television, which chronicles the stories of Television’s pioneers, innovators, artists and legends.”

The auction ends Sept. 3, so start counting those pennies.
