Hugh Laurie should've won best actor and "House" best drama, which those idiots didn't even nominate it for because they had to genuflect in front of their Clinton fantasy, "The West Wing," one more time. I don't get the hype over "Lost," and think it will probably fade in season two the way "Twin Peaks" did, when people start to shake off the initial hysteria and realize that there's far less to it than meets the eye. And what is with Hollywood's tongue-bathing of "Arrested Development?" I've tried to watch that thing and really don't get what is supposed to be so good about it (doesn't help that it's full of leftists like David Cross, who I last saw on Jimmy Kimmel's show in a DU T-shirt). A friend of mine, also a professional writer like me, called a month or so ago just to ask what I thought of that show. When I told him, "Not much," he said, "THANK YOU! I'm so sick of people telling me how great it is when it just isn't!" Juding by the ratings, we aren't the only ones who disagree with Hollywood's opinion.
I happen to think Arrested Development is hilarious. It's purely a matter of taste and personal preference, though. I like the quirky, sometimes surreal gags. De gustibus non est disputandem
I 2nd that!
