Talk about an awards show that needs a makeover. The five reality show hosts turning around the host the Emmys was a bad idea from the start, and congrats to those hosts for pulling off the impossible — actually being worse than people thought they would be. That’s up there with ‘Nova over Georgetown in ‘85 for upsets. Emmys, I don’t know how you managed to do it, but you topped the Grammys for worst major awards show out there right now. Congrats.
I know it’s been suggested before, but we need some kind of hi-def warning system when something is about to happen that you should turn off the hi-def on your TV for. Poor Mary Tyler Moore looked like she was three seconds from death. The even bigger upset of the night was Betty White looking 50 times better than Moore. If you predicted that would happen in 1975, you might as well start calling yourself Nostradamus. Thankfully, I can’t find a picture of this anywhere.
The bright side of the night — PopRox was proven right. Who am I kidding, I was right. For the last year, I’ve been telling anyone who will listen that 30 Rock was the funniest show on TV and Mad Men was the best show on TV. Last night, Emmy voters backed me up. So thanks guys and gals.
I’d like to meet the person who came up with this idea. Then I’d like to look them square in the eye and bust a gut laughing in their face.
Enough Emmys.
I’ll renew my objection to this since I seem to be the only one on the planet who thought Semi-Pro was hysterical. But I can see where he’d think it’s a good idea. It’s like Jim Carrey saying, “I’m not gonna make my face go into weird positions anymore.”
Whoever this Jason Heller guy is apparently he grew up in the Sadowski household. His answers to this question are so eerily similar to what I’d say, I had to look over my shoulder to make sure he wasn’t watching me.
If you’re worried about Watchmen, you’re not the only one. And his opinion means more than yours, for the record.
I’ve always wondered why William Fitcher couldn’t get a leading role. Wonder no more.
What ever happened to “ask nicely“? I’m pretty sure he’d do it if someone just asked him.
