I LOVE television. I watch A LOT of television shows. Every year I watch the Emmy Awards. Then I realize that there are so many television shows that I DON’T watch.
(Before I get into that, let me say that Neil Patrick Harris from How I Met Your Mother (and Doogie Howser, M.D. !) ROCKED as the Emmy host. He is funny, cute, and charming and should just host EVERY awards show. Ha.)
So back to the television shows that I don’t watch.
Maybe I should be watching 30 Rock (Winner, Best Comedy Series)? I did give it a try a couple of times last season but I just could not get into it. Tina Fey seems like a fun gal, but the show is not The Office. None of The Office nominees won, but John Krasinski (Jim!) looked so darn cute, so that was enough for me.
Maybe I should be watching Mad Men (Winner, Best Drama Series)? This one I will give you. It looks really cool and I should start the TIVO now. The men are cute, the women are fashionable, and this show always wins tons of awards.
Maybe I should be watching Breaking Bad, Damages, or United States Of Tara? They all won awards last night. But excuse me, what are these shows? I know that cable programming is getting more front and center attention, but I just have zero interest in these shows. I have not even heard of them. I also don’t have time to TIVO any new shows. (I already need to make room for Mad Men now!)
John Cryer won Best Supporting Actor for Two And A Half Men. That was cool. It’s great to see Duckie from Pretty in Pink come out ahead after all these years!
I am a huge reality show fan. Amazing Race won for Best Reality Show. It really is an incredible show. It must take hundreds of behind-the-scene experts to pull off this globe trotting competition. But I was hoping Ryan Seacrest from American Idol would win Best Reality Show host. He deserves it. He is the face of AI. (Jeff Probst won for Survivor.) And, of course, I love Top Chef so I was glad it was (at least) nominated.
Heidi Klum from Project Runway was also nominated for Best Reality Show Host. She lost, but man, she WON for looking amazing at almost 9 months preggers. You go girl!
