I was very disappointed that Hugh Laurie didn’t win. House is the only program I never miss. The inevitable political asides were tedious and predictable.

O.K. let me get this right. The same people who actually watch the Emmy’s are those who will be voting for Obama. This answers so many questions. You morons cant be serious to be so terribly into this. The writers strike didnt have you SHEEP miss a beat did it? Get a life. But please do wait to join the real world until after you spend a months salary on that Oscars party you are planning. I can only hope that there is some thrilling set of shows on TV all day and night Nov. the 4th that will certainly keep you dunderheads out of the polling booth because the true reason you will vote for Obama is because Pamela Anderson thinks he’s swell and the Large Marge’s of the View think he’s cute

I’m glad all you watched it so I wouldn’t have to. I unfortunately turned it on during that horrible musical number and then quickly turned it off. That was painful. How they muck it up in different ways each year has to be some kind of record. Just when you think they’ve topped themselves.

Jonah’s right about quality TV. A lot of crap out there, but Beauty & the Geek, Jericho, Journeyman, Men In Trees, Moonlight, New Amsterdam, Women’s Murder Club, and The 4400 all get cancelled in one fell swoop. And, thanks to lingering effects of the writers strike, there’s hardly anything new to look forward to this season. Even Fringe, allegedly the best new show of the season, is off to a somewhat intriguing but hardly exciting start.

Yay for Glenn Close in Damages. She was sooooo good in that!

Boo for Mad Men. Although is the award based on the first season? If so, then that’s OK. The first season was good. The second season sucks big time!!!

What do you mean, “Give quality TV a chance?, ” TV Addict? Didn’t you see that Fox’s new (stolen) brainchild, Hole in the Wall, drew more viewers than the awesome Supernatural on Thursday night? Doesn’t that make you feel real good about America’s viewing choices? We’re dealing with morons, man. It’s like trying to reason with a blind/deaf/mute.

Ooh, Best Drama. House, Lost, and Boston Legal are my picks in that order.

Winner: Mad Men. Oh well.

Either they should bring back the Cable Ace Awards so that Cable shows can compete amongst themselves, or the broadcast networks are going to have to step it up.

Most of the *really* good shows this season were cancelled or overlooked.

So few nominations this year I was even familiar with, and out of those, I don’t think any won. Not sure I’ll watch the Emmys if this trend keeps up.

And as for tonight, I really should have worked on tiling my bathroom floor instead.

Well, I hope this Emmy win gets Mad Men a pick up. Longest show ever: the emmys. Funny, they were running out of time but kept the bad jokes? Uh, lose them. Cut each category (comedy, drama, mini series,) in 15 to 30 minute segments. lol Anything to speed it up. Probst deserved to win. His tv show started it all.
