The Emmys are an industry award show designed to promote TV viewership.——
Shocking revelation!!!!
Back in the late 50s, someone (whose name I have long since forgotten) predicted that TV would become "the great wasteland". It's there. Hollyweird is devoid of new, original ideas and all that remains is crap based on older, better programs or "reality TV (AKA more crap on TV)".
Sadly, back in the 50s and 60s - when Hollyweird still knew how to tell great stories and people demanded better programming - TV was pretty much in its heyday; thus the success of MeTV.
These days, I'd rather watch whatever MeTV is showing or slip in a DVD of a movie made sometime between the 30s and about the mid-70s. After the mid-70s, good movies and good TV become increasingly rare until we got today's TV garbage.
Hollyweird reached the "great wasteland" status a couple of decades ago . . . . . . . and now they have started to dig!
Well I agree that TV has lost the impact it once had but libtards turned the schools into the propaganda organ once reserved for the now vulgar, insulting and unwatchable telly.
Maybe that is why we are living in a golden age of television. What compares in the past to Boardwalk Empire, Breaking Bad, Hell on Wheels, Ray Donovan, Sherlock, Game of Thrones, Rome, Band of Brothers, Deadwood, Merlin and the list goes on and on.
Somebody actually watched that crap?
Tina Fey got an award.?? She should thank Sarah Palin.
If not for Sarah no one would have ever heard of her.
Her whole act was playing Sarah Palin. Still is.
Plus, the shows themselves are not, in large part, very appealing to me or my husband. I think the only new show that we have watched this season is Sleepy Hollow. The landscape has changed, Hollywood needs to understand this. Perhaps they are getting the message, as House of Cards actually won a big award yesterday.
Ah good old Don was delusional in high school as well
Modern Family, Glee, all leftwing, homosexual self-congratulatory propaganda that NO ONE wants to watch, save those among the 47% dimwits.
People are flocking to Duck Dynasty, even neutral shows like Pawn Stars, etc. because they want good programming and are seeking to escape the leftwing dreck that heretofore has been rammed down their throats.
Look no further than the Hollywood summer of 2013 debacle for more evidence of people running away from the Obama-worshiping propaganda machine.

I don't think that's what author means to say. Just say'n...
The mainstream media took care never to report on any of Kennedy's 'assignations'.
He had a new call-girl every day. That's why he died wearing a full body truss.
The Emmy’s were atrocious. I’ve been to more entertaining funerals. In fact, they spent most of the time talking about the dead or awarding the dead. Even some winners didn’t show up. It dragged on forever, had more corn than Kelloggs and there was NO entertainment value. Neil Patrick Harris has NO talent. I would have preferred a flamboyant drag queen if they were going to feature gay’s. It was drab, dull,ponderous and painful. More like torture that had to be endured before awards were given.
I only watched hoping The Big Bang Theory would win. It didn’t, the ‘gay men raise a baby’ sitcom’ did instead. Oh- and Elton John singing about Liberace. All the sequins in the world couldn’t give him Liberace’s talent.
In what universe? Other than Duck Dynasty, what shows "humanize traditionalists", without satirizing them?
Compare this to shows that conflate ANY issue with Dem politics - which is dammed near all of them.
Shorter Shout Bits: Hollywood sucks and TV today sucks, but because Duck Dynasty and House of Cards have nothing to do with Hollywood and TV, something, something, ACORN, pornography, we win!
Anyone else see the first sentence as a contradiction of the second?
And because Patricia Heaton wasn't nominated (as her current show is okay, but not great).
