Quick Emmy Thoughts

Boring, boring, boring….

The show was dull, the choices for presenters uninspired, and the drivel was more drivilish (if there were such a word) than usual.

But at least some new shows were honored.
All of the drama winners—Lost, Boston Legal, Huff, Medium, and House were new shows. Sure Spader and Shatner won last year for playing these same characters, but still, they were new shows.

It was also great to see Felicity Huffman win because she should already have at least one Emmy on her shelf for Sports Night, so we’ll take things as they come. And JJ Abrams finally got an Emmy. Overall, there were a lot of good things that happened last night.

Still, there were some head scratchers. The fact that Brad Garrett won over Peter Boyle and Jeremy Piven—huh? He’s good, don’t get me wrong. I just wouldn’t have thunk it. It’s kind of like Michael Richards always winning the Emmy for Seinfeld and Jason Alexander never winning one.

The Emmy Idol wasn’t nearly as bad as I thought it would be. I wonder if that’s the first time Donald Trump ever won something for his singing. Still, love me some Kristen Bell… Sigh!


Bring on some new shows!

When J.J. won his Emmys (for director and for the series), I shrieked and clapped so loud, methinks I scared my hubby.

And Felicity Huffman's speech brought a tear to my eye...she was the most deserving of the Housewives.
