Kudos and Boos-Emmy Edition

Here we go here we go satellite radio, y'all getting hit with KUDOS AND BOOS.

Kudos...Cameron from Modern Family! My bets were on Neil Patrick Harris (who I love) but I love that Cam won! I fell in love with the show when he introduced Lily to the family. Some of my fave moments include: Cam screaming and being mistaken for a woman, Cam's interviews with Mitchell, Cam bonding with Gloria, and so many more!
Boos...Amy Poehler losing in Best Actress in a Comedy. This year Parks and Rec has brought it and always delivers a good show. Just yesterday I watched the season finale and thought that this is phenom! Fave episodes include: when they had a stake out at the pit, when she's set up on a date with the MRI tech (which is her hubby Will Arnett), ANY episode with Rob Lowe.

Kudos...Jane Lynch. She has had maaaaany a guest spots on some legit shows, such as Friends, Psych, Weeds, and many more. But she finally got her spot as the cold-hearted gym teacher in Ohio. Sure she gets herself into lots of blackmailing deals, some moral dilemmas, always keeps tracksuits in style when they aren't and doesn't necessarily make friends with fellow faculty members, but she sure is entertaining!
Boos...Steve Carell losing :( It's his last year as the ever-so-awkward Michael Scott, rules the Scranton branch so I feel like he should have gotten a something. But Jim Parsons is pretty good too.

Kudos...George Clooney. He got the Bob Hope award as he should from his days as Dr. Doug Ross on ER. He was so good on that show that I actually stopped watching when he left. Actually that's a lie, I stopped watching when Carol (Juliana Margulies) went to be with him in Seattle. Once that happened I thought, ok, they are happily ever after. I'm surprised it took the Academy this long to award him, I mean look at him.
Boos...E! They told me the wrong time for the Emmy's to start so I missed the opening sequence. Ryan Seacrest, you just climbed up my shit list.

Sudden Cancelations

Saturday my Netflix finally came—sometimes those two day turnovers just take so long. This time I got the first disc of the canceled classic, Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip, (thank you, Carly for reminding me of it). As I blew through the disc and sealed the envelope so I can send it out tomorrow morning (ASAP), I was thinking about all of the shows that I wish were still on the air but didn’t make it due to their less than stellar ratings and the money-grubbing corporate heads. So, due to lack of inspiration of anything more interesting, here is my list of favorite shows—in no particular order—that were taken from us too soon:

1. Studio 60
2. Arrested Development
3. Samantha Who
4. Pushing Daisies
5. Deal or No Deal—I always wanted to go on this show and I just think Howie Mandel is just funny
6. and just because I wish it was still on the air, The West Wing

(By clicking on the show, you go to my personal favorite site for all things Hollywood--IMDB.com)

Alright, well, it turns out that there weren’t too many but those ones were really some of my favorites. Please, studio heads at the major networks, think about what you have done! At least I can find solace in knowing that there will be an Arrested Development movie coming out!

And to prevent another list like this, please watch:
1. The Office
2. Modern Family
3. Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D-List
4. Any Real Housewives, but most esp. the Orange County wives
5. Glee

I don’t know if these shows are in any danger but let’s not risk it people.

Oh and by the way 9 days till my birthday!
