11.11.2022 - 06:05 / deadline.com
The 12th season of the ATX TV Festival will take place June 1-4, 2023 in Austin, Texas, and has announced its first round of programming.
The festival will present its annual “Achievement in Television eXcellence” Award to director, producer, creator, and author James Burrows. He will attend for a conversation spanning his career as the cocreator/director of Cheers, winner of 11 Emmy Awards, and director of more than 1,000 episodes of television, including iconic sitcoms Taxi, Friends, Frasier, Will & Grace, and more.
“James Burrows’ imprint on TV as a medium is unparalleled, and his impact on so many TV fans’ lives – including our own – cannot be overstated,” said Jennifer Morgan, ATX director of programming. “We are thrilled to have the opportunity to celebrate his indelible career and the joy his work continues to bring to the industry and viewers alike.”
First presented in 2014, the “Achievement in Television eXcellence” Award seeks to recognize individuals whose career reflects the very best of television, through work that is thought-provoking, genuine, expansive, and entertaining. As the festival’s 2023 recipient, Burrows joins previous honorees Henry Winkler, James L. Brooks, Norman Lear, Marcy Carsey, Phylicia Rashad, Michael J. Fox, and Directors Guild of America President Lesli Linka Glatter.
In addition to the award presentation, Burrows will join cocreators and longtime collaborators Les and Glen Charles for a celebration of the 30-year anniversary of the finale of their seminal series, Cheers. The retrospective conversation will reflect on the series’ decade-long run, its definitive place in TV history, and provide an insider look into the beloved show. Additional panelists will be announced later.
