Emmy watching thread

[IamFogHat]

I'm probably not a good person to start this cause I'm only flipping back and forth to it, but I figured people would want to chime in. Plus Lost has a few categories so, have at it kids.

[GreatAmericanZero]

i have on TLC where they have on a thing about a 750lb man. He is so gross, he has these blotches all over his skin. His wife is so gross too, she looks like if she took her bra off her tits would drag on the floor

But I was thinking "wow look at that, this guy is so obese he can't leave his bed and yet he has a wife who loves him"..and then i saw a commercial for Match.com. Best idea for a sponsor ive ever seen

[Don Stugots]

holy crap that opening sucked ass.

[Don Stugots]

christina applegate looks great for not having any boobs.

[Friday]

i just tuned in.

may i just say that i am ok with aging gracefully.
too much plastic surgery makes for icky looking facial structure.

booo creepy Lost man didn't win!

[GreatAmericanZero]

christina applegate looks great for not having any boobs.

u should try to hook up with her

[Friday]

Ricky G! :clap:

[IamFogHat]

Dammit! Michael Emmerson lost.

[GreatAmericanZero]

damn, after the 750lb man show on tlc is "I eat 33,000 calories a day". that looks great!

[IamFogHat]

Goddammit Ricky Gervais is a funny motherfucker.

She looks stunning as ever.

[K.C.]

Ricky Gervais is the only funny thing about this so far.

Even Conan mailed it in.

[MisterSmith]

How about you turkeys post the winners?!?!

Some of us are not interested enough to watch, but just interested enough to want to know who won.

[Friday]

i am actually enjoying Josh Groban doing all the voices.... 'specially the Cartman voice.

he is a talented little guy. (and a sweetie too! no really.. he is very nice.)

[johnniehardrock]

Is it me or is Alec Baldwin looking more and more like Charles Nelson Riley

Worst bit ever.

[IamFogHat]

WOW, this is an abortion. Was this show (Laugh in) actually funny when it was on?

And once again, Colbert gets shut down by Stewart.

MANILOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWW WW!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Friday]

wow
that guy who plays "angel" seems like the most boring person alive.

i am flipping back and forth. this is kind of boring lol


and it's so wacky to me that Barry Sonnenfeld just won his first emmy.

[GreatAmericanZero]

looking on imdb, it seems that everyone (except maybe 1 person) has won emmys before. Emmys love to give the same people awards over and over again (like "Frasier"..how many fucking awards could David Hyde Pierce get playing the same guy)

[Don Stugots]

WOW, this is an abortion. Was this show (Laugh in) actually funny when it was on?

hell yeah, i grew up watching reruns of it on Ch. 9. I don't know what the hell they did tonight.

Those are totally fake

Amy The Dreamy Guy Is On The Screen!

[K.C.]

Is it wrong that I'm wishing for Don Rickles to rip Kathy Griffin's head off and drink her blood on stage?

[IamFogHat]

Goddammit, Rickle's body is falling apart but his mind is still fucking there in all its glory.

[Don Stugots]

Rickles killed.

I'm surprised these douchebags didn't boo him or groan when he made that O.J. Simpson jury joke about all the black people up front.


...and now he's heckling the winners. The guy rules!

[biozombie]

Is it wrong that I'm wishing for Don Rickles to rip Kathy Griffin's head off and drink her blood on stage?

Sounds like a reasonable fantasy to me.

[Tenbatsuzen]

Amy The Dreamy Guy Is On The Screen!

Liz and I saw a Patrick Dempsey barbie doll thing in the Supermarket today. We were debating getting it for Amy.

[Fallon]

Kathy griffen has way too much hair.

[K.C.]

RICKLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSS!!!

Colbert gets the shaft again!

[IamFogHat]

Yay! An alum from The Wire won an Emmy!:clap:

[K.C.]

Man, Howie Mandell must have really fucked up by going on and on and on.

This is like the lightning round. They're just blazing through all the big awards.

[IamFogHat]

Why would that mic work?

[Friday]

the chick who washed my hair at the stylist yesterday told me i looked like America Ferrera.
I am taking it as a compliment... i think she is a beauty. :)


btw... Glenn Close is married to an IATSE stage hand. i always liked that about her.

[K.C.]

Holy shit, Tim Whatley won an Emmy!!


Actually, I like Bryan Cranston a lot. Glad to see him get a W.

[~Katja~]

Tina Fey looks hot tonight

[bobsnin]

Don't know if its been said, but is it gay that I watched the emmys over the Green Bay-Dallas game?

[Hottub]

2X

[KnoxHarrington]

Don't know if its been said, but is it gay that I watched the emmys over the Green Bay-Dallas game?

I'd say yes, but this has been such a bad game I'm regretting I didn't watch the Emmies.

[IamFogHat]

Don't know if its been said, but is it gay that I watched the emmys over the Green Bay-Dallas game?

If it's gay then call me a fag.

nah... or maybe a little.
i am flipping back and forth between the two... but i also have a vagina.

[bobsnin]

You're not going to see a sexy Betty White in Texas Stadium

[drusilla]

the show is truly terrible this year

that josh groban medley made me so embarrassed for him

they shoulda gone back to that theater in the round shit everyone was freaking out about last year cause it made for a better show

[Don Stugots]

that might have been the biggest plug ever.


Tom Selleck looks good.

[bobsnin]

I'ma take that emmy behind the middle school and get it pregnant -(jay mohr as tracey morgan)

[drusilla]

i love boston legal, but it's not a drama.

[IamFogHat]

Tom Selleck looks good.

Tom Selleck, as he was meant to be seen...goateed.

[biozombie]

Holy shit, Tim Whatley won an Emmy!!

Good for him, that was the only show I actually followed last year.

Yeah, this thing blew big time.

And the reality hosts fucked it up to where the last hour was just completely rushed.

Not even Ricky Gervais and Don Rickles could save this train wreck.

[IamFogHat]

God this year sucked ass, The Wire was nominated for nothing, and Lost won nothing. Fuck the Emmys.

[Friday]

Yeah, this thing blew big time.

agreed.

too many cooks... blablabla

i would LOOOOOVE to see an awards show hosted by Ricky Gervais. HAH! wheee

ok back to the Packers monstrosity...

[bobsnin]

Shake the gay off. Football game and internet porn.

[K.C.]

Shake the gay off. Football game and internet porn.

Football game is an even a bigger trainwreck.

Epo's going to need an IV to rehydrate from all the tears he's cried over the Brewers this week and the Packers tonight.

[KnoxHarrington]

Goddammit Cowboys, you have to run the score up, I took the over.

By the way, it kicks ass that Bryan Cranston won for "Breaking Bad". That was a great show that pretty much went unnoticed, I think.

Is there a second season? I watched a couple of the first season. I wouldn't have even known it was on, had Cranston not been on R&F.

[KnoxHarrington]

Is there a second season? I watched a couple of the first season. I wouldn't have even known it was on, had Cranston not been on R&F.

No, it's just run one season, and I haven't heard if a second season will be done yet. I'm hoping this win brings the show back, because it was really setting up nice for a really wild second season.

[NickyL0885]

Hugh Laurie got screwed yet again. BOO!

[biozombie]

I met a woman the other day who was an extra in the 2nd season of Breaking Bad...she hadn't even watched it & had no idea what the show was about, other than her part of being a hairdresser in an episode.

[bobsnin]

No, it's just run one season, and I haven't heard if a second season will be done yet. I'm hoping this win brings the show back, because it was really setting up nice for a really wild second season.

He's got termial cancer. How long can it go?

[KnoxHarrington]

I met a woman the other day who was an extra in the 2nd season of Breaking Bad...she hadn't even watched it & had no idea what the show was about, other than her part of being a hairdresser in an episode.

Yeah, I looked it up and see that Breaking Bad's second season will begin after Mad Men is done.

:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

[KnoxHarrington]

He's got termial cancer. How long can it go?

He's using the proceeds of the meth lab to pay for an experimental treatment, which might be the out for that storyline.

[biozombie]

Yeah, it's going to be a really limited run due to the cancer thing...but luckily, it's fiction.

[KnoxHarrington]

Yeah, it's going to be a really limited run due to the cancer thing...but luckily, it's fiction.

And, honestly, this is not a show that could go 200 episodes. And not every show should.

Shit, virtually every show that does go 200 episodes shouldn't. "Lost" should have been 20, 30 episodes tops.

[biozombie]

American TV needs to learn about that from the Brits. Most shows are 6 to 8 episodes per "series" and only run for a few years.

[K.C.]

"Lost" should have been 20, 30 episodes tops.

Only if they were interested in telling the mythology and that's it.

Most of the first two and half seasons were centered on storytelling about the individual characters.

The 'throw-away' character episodes, that don't really have much to do with the mythology, are some of the best of the series.


In fact, that's part of why the series is starting to feel like it's past the peak. They've essentially said they're finished with those types of episodes.



But generally, I agree. Many, many, many shows go longer than they should.

A prime example: they ran a promo for "ER", which, mercifully, is in its final season. And they breathlessly teased "A fan favorite will take their last breath!" and showed faces of characters -- none of whom I recognized. In fact, not only is the original cast of that show gone, I think all their replacements are gone too. It's a zombie show, shambling forwards aimlessly.

And that's usually a dead give away a show should have ended.

When shows start replacing or adding characters because they're forced to, that's a problem.


The one thing I'll say in defense of Lost, though, is that I don't really think they've done that yet. They haven't really introduced any new characters that were important to the show in some respect.

And they haven't really had any of the actors walk out, except for the guy who played Eko, and that was because his parents died in real life.

It could very well end up that way, but I'd say that to this point, that show still justifies its existence.

[IamFogHat]

Hugh Laurie got screwed yet again. BOO!

Says the man with a Psych sig pic.

Just kidding, I LOVE House.


But it shouldn't be up against The Wire or Lost.

[GreatAmericanZero]

there are articles about how this was the lowest rated Emmys (i didnt watch any of it)..but why would they expect anything to watch it?

I remember as a kid i would watch it and it was exciting to see TV stars. But now with so many channels and sources of entertainment, why would u care which tv show i don't watch wins an award that means nothing?

[drjoek]

Emmy Rossum
Ill watch her
