The TV thread

That show looks so damn good. Might have to sub to HGTV for a month or two to check it out.

 

On The Watch podcast, they said the screener of True Detective was great.

Loving Fargo.

 

Julia was a hell of a show.

 

ugh NO I love Julia!

 

Why are the (delayed) Emmy’s on tonight and not the Sunday before the Super Bowl

 

So far, good night to be a short woman of color on a sitcom.

 

Just the winners list, please. Don’t care about the pomp & circumstance.

 

The show rotates among the big four networks, so maybe Fox was contractually obligated to run it in a certain window. They didn't even have a show up for a major award, given how much they've gutted their programming after the sale of most of their stuff to Disney.

I kind of thought it was a fun awards, though! Anderson kept things moving, which left plenty of time for speeches by Ayo, Niecy Nash and others. I'm always more into that then the awkward comedy bits. Most of the reunions weren't anything special, but they were quick! And Applegate did great as the opening presenter. There wasn't much drama in the winners, but it's hard for me to quibble with those three shows winning almost everything. We seem to be removed from the times when a "movie star" can slum it in a show for a couple episodes and just win.

Side note - You could have give me a hundred guesses about what Applegate's Emmy was for and I wouldn't have gotten it.

Spoiler

A guest appearance on Friends.

 

It was a decent show. The Emmy's flow better than the Oscars for me since I've seen much of the nominated stuff and there aren't categories like lighting and costuming, which are important to the industry but not to most viewers.

I can do without Anderson mom.

Nice In Memorium. They actually focused on the people and not the singers. Snubs included David Soul, Jerry Springer, Ryan O'Neal and Raquel Welch.

 

How about that Ennis, Alaska?

 

If I never again see Anthony Anderson in a latex suit, it will be too soon.

 

Quinta Brunson is amazing. If you haven't caught Black Lady Sketch Show on HBO, she just lit up Season 1 before leaving for Abbott. The BLSS showrunner and star, Robin Thede, is an amazing comedic actress, too.
