Six Feet Under 20th Anniversary Reunion at PaleyFest LA 2021 sponsored by Citi and Verizon

PaleyFest LA 2021 sponsored by Citi and Verizon. Stars and creatives of HBO's Six Feet Under (Alan Ball, Robert Greenblatt, David Janollari, Alan Poul, Peter Krause, Michael C. Hall, Lauren Ambrose, Frances Conroy, Freddy Rodriguez, and Rachel Griffiths) gather with moderator Lynette Rice at PaleyFest LA 2021 to celebrate their show and its twentieth anniversary. Topics include: how Ball's time as a youth in funeral homes influenced the pilot script; Ball's secret for creating indelible characters; the on-set practical jokes involving "cadavers"; how the ongoing relationship between Michael C. Hall's David and Mathew St. Patrick's Keith proved groundbreaking; Ball's determination to write female characters that weren't defined by the men in their lives; the stereotype-free depiction of Latinx leads Freddy Rodriguez's Rico and Justina Machado's Vanessa; how Ball planned the memorable series finale; and the show's effectiveness twenty years later.

David's death was especially poignant for me because, in seeing Keith as part of his near-death experience, it informed me that since we see our loved ones on the other side waiting for us, that means you never truly know who your true love is until you die. Which, of course, is way too late.

[@Sashazur]

The show made it clear that David and Keith were definitely in love and were together at least up until when Claire left home. There’s no reason to think they weren’t still together after that, until Keith was killed about 20 years later. If someone asked who I would guess old David would see just before he died, it would have been Keith.

[@timdrums1]

Saw the series when first out and it destroyed me then. (In a very good way). Just re-watching the series now in March 2022 and the familial bonds, humanity and moments of tenderness between characters feel particularly poignant and comforting in these strange, strange times we live in. My partner is seeing it for the first time, and it gives me such pleasure watching her devour the show wide-eyed, and go with the rollercoaster of each storyline and character arc. During the pandemic, it’s become possible to become overwhelmed with high quality streamed dramas, but SFU ALWAYS stands out as the very best - even 20 years on. And for me - the beauty of SFU has always been that while on the surface it deals with death, all of life’s experiences that happens before it - the good and the bad - are so, so vital and vibrant in their imperfections; and all human failures and frailty are just part of who we are. And that that’s ok because it all shapes us and brings us home to one another. For sure, as Frances Conroy says here, people create new bonds and find new friends because of the universality they find on SFU. Ultimately - this show was made with love and that shines through, and is the feeling I am always left with. ❤️

I had an experience about 5 years ago. my mom was in the hospital suffering from multiple pelvic fractures. She hadn't fallen, it was due to her osteoporosis. But, at that time, she seemed to have given up. I was very stressed out...and out of the corner of my eye, it seemed as if I saw the ghostly images of my dad & my oldest brother. I felt certain that Mom was slipping away. Turns out, she lasted 3 more years....and I sadly & always will regret that I wasn't there) when she finally slipped away, as Ruth Fisher did.....but without any of her 4 surviving children present. It's been more than 8 months now...and I have come to grips that, just like both of my grandmothers, they chose to leave alone. I'm almost 59....her "baby" and as much as I mourn her passing, I've reached that level of acceptance....because, at 91, she was ready to go. (not unlike Ruth Fisher)

The surreal "day dreams", the dead characters ranging from terrifying to tragic to hilarious - each one bringing their own lesson, the perfect distribution of real estate for the characters - each ep focusing on each of the family members the perfect amount, and ultimately the INSANE amount of drama the family members all went through. Those things, along with the acting, the music, the cinematography - really made this show memorable for me.

I’m still awestruck by Alan Ball, this show, this cast and the execs who all breathed such passion, heart, soul and life into this still-mind blowingly amazing TV series! 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

[@ronm9357]

Really amazing series and it still is the best series finale, by far.

[@cedricovide-etienne2069]

The GREATEST SHOW EVER, so far. I couldn’t STOP CRYING After the end of the final épisode. UNBELIEVABLE, UNFORGETTABLE….Thank You Alan Ball! GREATEST Show ever made.

[@DeadDad1]

My friend, you aren't the only one. It speaks volumes of the show when people on social media/KZbin are willing to admit their emotional reactions to it.

[@simonaanderson7135]

Jeremy Sisto (Billy) should be there

[@incaseofrapture6989]

And Michael St. Patrick

[@alainprostbis]

@@incaseofrapture6989 and brenda's mother Johana Cassidy...

[@Looking-great]

His in an asylum medicated.

[@erikugartezarraga4471]

​@@alainprostbisShe was my favorite character.

[@You.Tube.Sucks.]

Sisto was just a guest star. Mathew St. Patrick was a regular, so I'll agree he should be there.

[@liannna212]

I watched many shows and plot characters are blurry . But SFU I remember by heart, when I hear that Sia song I have shivers. This was the most beautiful show ever . I think its time to re watch it again

[@badrabbit9964]

The Fisher family never really left me even after 20 years. The house, the characters, they still seem so real to me and incredibly relatable. It remains my favourite show of all time. Kudos to all of you for creating Six Feet Under.

[@PerinMat]

Todo mundo deveria ver essa série pelo menos uma vez na vida. Amo todos

[@louisb.4056]

Thanks for greatest show ever. All the characters are amazing ! Kiss from France !

[@simonaanderson7135]

Have watched episodes so many times such a wonderful show that seems timeless, also one of the best finales I have ever seen, they closed it so well.

[@cassandraanne]

I just got way too excited to find this. Six Feet Under is my favorite show of all time. I've seen it 7 times and the ending still makes me cry. The most perfect finale there ever was.

[@sailortwitch]

Thanks for this reunion! 🥺💖

[@mosaicmuse9797]

Best show ever, great cast, writing, everything. Brilliant. Love you guys!!! ...my first thought was I felt sorry for Ruth, then Brenda but I think I felt most sorry for David. And Michael played that role perfect. David had so much to overcome and it was still a time of judgement of one's sexuality. Brenda because she had lived a tormented life since childhood. And Ruth as a mother with so much loss, grief and constantly holding on to her sense of self. :-)

[@kellytew107]

I just finished watching this show and I’m so sad it’s over! It made me really stop and think about a lot of things , in a very positive way, thank you all for the gift of this wonderful show. ❤

[@SixFeetUnderTheHBOMasterpiece]

*Such a pity that such a milestone in TV history, a series that made TV series an art form litterally, apparently couldn't have a real beautiful celebration with everyone in a room, as opposed to a multi-channel Zoom session with a shitty sound all over... Such a pity... Please Alan Ball or anyone, try and make a REAL 1-hour + documentary with all these people around that seminal series ! Six Feet Under deserved way, way better than this really !!!!... But that's better than nothing I suppose...*

[@sylon7717]

Best show I have ever seen! Well done 👏👏👏

[@blaxtru]

Was ground-breaking at the time; unforgettable now.

[@its-amemargot8697]

What a beautiful cast & show...!

[@rhiannonleigh2715]

Absolute masterpiece!

[@kerrybogdanovic3420]

This show was amazing! When I binge watched it again a few years ago, it helped me through with one of the darkest times of my life. I thank and am grateful to you all! The finale makes me cry to this day!

[@neginosan]

Omg, love them T_T I wish michael had had the chance to talk more too

[@jruedas81]

Favorite show. Can we get a Blu Ray release?

[@tiffanykline7870]

This show is in my top 3 favorite of all time. every time I watch it I see it from a different perspective from where I’m at in my life and my age each character relates to me differently depending where I’m at in my life - amazing

[@nursebridgie]

This is how I feel too. I always revisit every few years to see how my perspective changes or how the show can change my perspective again. 😌

[@ksmit]

Just finished this series on Netflix. Loved the writing and how the actors made the characters come alive and add their own personal touch. The final scene and the Sia song tore me up. Thank you all!!!

[@amarantalila]

* Try not to cry *. * Cry a lot *

[@incaseofrapture6989]

I can’t stop watching this over and over again. I love this show so damn much, I still can’t find anything that measures up… SFU set the bar too high. I don’t have words to describe what it means to me. I love these phenomenal people so much 🖤

[@fretboardmaster70]

I have the DVD boxset and perhaps not annually but certainly every couple of years, I binge watch Sux Feet Under. Here we go again… I can’t think of many serials that I have watched multiple times. Six Feet Under had me hooked within the first 10mins

[@janetalvarado3635]

Where's Keith?

[@TheLoudseed]

Hands down one of greatest shows ever made. I still ball my eyes out watching the finale. ❤
